Need Advice

I am so sad that I want to cry. My life ain't going anywhere. I don't have a job, not marry, and no baby. I feel as if my life is going downhill. I am a worthless person. I'm sticking myself with an ink pen leaving bruising and scars. My boyfriend said that I need to fight this battle but I don't think I can. I envy my friends and families all of the time. Therapy is not helping me. Pristiq and Abilify are not helping me this time. Maybe I should give up on life since it is not worth it. I don't have a purpose to live. I can't deal with this pain any longer so I stick myself to feel better. I don't know what to do anymore. Maybe I need to go to the crisis center again.

hi mona, yes, you are thinking right when you say to go to crisis center. you are a danger to yourself right now, because you are hurting yourself.

sweetie, please if you can, do go. you don't feel it right now, but it can help you. take your boyfriends advice, fight the battle, but you can't do it alone. you need a trained professional right now love.

i am wishing that you get some peace in your life.

I hope you do go to the crisis center for some help. I am sorry it sucks right now. Maybe after you get this bout under control you can work on changing your life just a little bit at a time.

After graduating from college 3 years ago, I still don't have a job. I would like to have a job, living on my own, a family, and being happy. I don't have any of that right now. My life sucks big time.

a job will come. times are different from years ago when getting employment was relatively easy. i'm glad that you do have the education and it will help you down the line. right now, you have to just keep trying and seperate the fellings about job hunting.
