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 have been getting treatment for depression for four years (have been struggling with it for about 6) and I still see no light at the end of the tunnel, at least not in this life. I really feel hopeless. I'm struggling my desire to even be here. At this time I don't even HAVE any real desire to be here. The only things keeping me here are negative, like fear and duty. I am having bad suicidal thoughts today and am having a really hard time. I need support. I feel so, so alone. I feel like I'm screaming into a void. An empty, bottomless void. Just so tired of being a burden on everyone. I feel like everyone thinks I came into this world by choice or something. I'm just tired and people being pushy towards me does NOT help with all this, and people keep being pushy. I already have had to try multiple other treatments and numerous meds, I'm just tired. Idk why this never ends. Could just use some support- I'm really feeling isolated and overcome... I feel like I'll never get out of this rut.
Also, even though I'm young, I feel like I'm a thousand years old. Has anyone else felt this way with depression? Sometimes I really feel like an old person and like my life should be over already because I feel like I've lived so long.
If it helps, do keep your writing coming in if that helps you to cope. Writing it down is a good coping mechanism, so is talking about it. If you are open to it, talk to either a counsellor or a therapist. They might have better coping technique that they can guide you with. Hope this helps. Be well and take care! God bless!
