Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
So lately when I'm laying down in bed I get sad and I start to have bad thoughts. They mostly consist of "I'm worthless." and "no one would miss me if i was gone." and "I'm sick of this shitty life." and I told my therapist and doctor and they both just think I am stressed. Well these thoughts are getting more frequent and stuff and I don't like it. It's possible it could be stress and my medication but the thoughts are really bad. Like I was standing on a balcony on the second floor of a motel we were staying at on vacation and a tiny little voice in my head kept saying "jump, jump, jump" I mean I would never but still! These thoughts are so scary and I don't know who else to tell. I've heard so many bad things about the mental hospital that I am scared if I get admitted there or something. Or not even a mental hospital, the psych unit in a hospital.
Its good that you realise that these thoughts aren't good for you or your situation and are probably a result of what you are going through. Everyone has these thoughts to some degree but if you learn to cope with them life will be a lot better for you. Good luck and take care
