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.
Hi, I don't have a Dx for anything but I am feeling pretty hopeless, like no one loves, likes, or cares about me. I feel like I have nothing to offer and no reason to live. How do you keep going when you feel like this? How do you brak through it and find motivation to be happy?

With help from therapy, medication as necessary and the idea that you’re strong otherwise you wouldn’t be here asking for that help. It takes more resolve to say I can’t do this alone than to succumb to the helplessness. Yes I know you may have heard this same advice before.
