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.
I feel nothing makes sense anymore. Since eating disorder which literally ate my life. My relationships, my self esteem, my mind. I feel i have nothing to give. I feel useful. I feel so alone. I dont know what i am doing. I feel like a robot. I try to blend in. to be friendly . to help others but i cant even help myself. Thehardest is to keep track with college stuff. I wanted so badly to become a doctor 4 years ago and know that i am half the way i feel nothing. I dont know why i am doing things. I need help ( i tried therapy and antidepressive medication) but it didnt worked.
Is all you have to give, and it's enough.
I am far, far, far from the "successful" person that I hoped to be at 18. Life took me on all sorts of side trips and detours.
I do not know the person that you'll be in 30 years...but I DO know that the times you "failed" in ....will have taught you lessons and made you a far better person.
So...me...I'm in my 50's. Didn't do what I set out to do. But what I DID do...is raise two fantastic kids. Happy kids. Peaceful. Good people.
Giving a choice...succeed at what I first wanted or be a good parent...I won the JACKPOT.
So re-group yourself. You fell. You can get up. You are still YOU and that's more than enough.
