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'M so tired and frustated with waking up in level 7-8 severe abdominal pain and cramping every morning for 3 hours, which continues all day at a 3-4 the rest of the day. I wish I just wouldn't wake up anymore! My beliefs and faith are the only things stopping me from ending it myself. My life was ripped out from under me 7 years ago. I have been fighting with everything I have to try to stop it. I'M about out of options, I can't imagine waking up this way for the rest of my life. Unfortunately that appears this is how it is going to be. I can't do anything, i'M bored and depressed all of the time. I wish it would just end, or finish me off. I'M useless! I can't make plans to do anything because my body is so unpredictable. I just want to be normal again or be gone. I have a feeling it is not going to work that way. God is going to keep me here an beat on me for the rest of my life. I must have done something to really piss him off at me! Sly
Chronic pain is the worst. I know how it eventually messes up your head. Sometimes the most simple things work the best. Breath. Is the pain so bad that you cant get out for a walk? That helps a little. Its okay to feel bad;although you deserve better. Keep posting and you will be surprised how much support you have. Its good that you still have your faith. Noone is useless . . . you can help other people just by responding to posts on this site! Your post made me reach out to you and its a domino affect from there. Just keep posting and you wont feel so bored and depressed. Hang in there; keep me posted as to how you are feeling.
