(((sending ya some much needed hugs.....)))) We have all been there. Take care of yourself if you can and remember that you are important and needed in this world. You may not see it right now, but you are important....

not sure that i'm the best person to try and help, as i've recently relapsed by cutting again.... still though, can you do any physical activity? or read something so hard that it takes all of your focus? i find that distraction and focusing on something helps. also, helping others with their problems, like your neighbors, can help boost your own self. talking, also, can help. what has triggered this spiral down? any new stressors? try just taking it easy and enjoying the small miracles of life.

Hi JulesHope,
I must say I can relate..I've done So good with my depression,,but for some reason,,and it seems just to have appeared out of the blue,,,I'm feeling depressed again....I'm doing my best to fight it away,,,trying to stay busy,,even without energy..And motivation,,,it seems to have flown out the window...But lets both hold on to that hope,,and fight this..If I could I'd reach out my hand to you,,and pull you out of that dark hole..So heres my hand ,,grab hold,,and we'll pull ourselves out Together,:).. And no you wouldnt be better off dead,but I know the feeling,,all too well. Our kids need us,,,,and life is too short as it is. We'll make it,,just hang in there.
God Bless
