Falling deeper into the dark..

I feel myself drifting further into the darkness and it's suffocating me... my emotions are eating me up inside and playing with my thoughts.. last night, i had thoughts of killing myself.. I wanted to so badly.. I wanted to go into the bathroom and just dump all the pills into my mouth and never wake up.. I wanted to make cuts on my body.. I feel trapped and so alone.. I feel drained, and it's so hard to get out of bed.. I force myself to get up because I have to work.. It's getting so hard to keep up and be "positive" Idk yesterday at work my mood was all over the place.. even the people around me who I work with noticed... I can't do this anymore.. there's so much pain and I just want it to go away...

Ive been feeling that way too... But even when your at your lowest and you feel like there's no hope. There is some... There always is.. What is it that has you so low? Ask yourself that and work on it. About a week ago I was at my lowest. I'm pushing negative thoughts back in my head and although they come back to the front constantly I try to think of positive thoughts. I WILL get through this. I WILL have a happy life. Idk if your religious or not but I read a devotional now every day and it helps me. Hang it there. I'm here if you need to talk

Depression is the disease, the thoughts and feelings you are ha ing are sympto.s. thats it. Thatis all they are. Nothing .more. Depression somehow makes it impossible for us to feel happiness or even just even keel. Depression itself is terminal if left unchecked, it is a disease that drives its host to death.

Understand that what you thunk and how you feel are being drive. By this disease. You cannot know what it is like to be without these thoughts and feelings because you are unable to feel anything different because you are depressed. Like Freya said there is hope. Beyond hope even, there is "not-depressed" hold on long enough to get there. But in the meantime, get medical treatment. Depressiin is t something you can cheer up from, or look at thwbright side to get out of. Its a disease that works on the brain an 22ndd body

Like others have said previously, we've all been there. I can't really give good advice, I myself am just bouncing back from a horrible week. Believe me, I know how hard it is to even think that there's a way out. It's easier to just disappear, oh how I want to disappear.

But I strongly recommend going to your doctor. Some people think antidepressants just make you dependent on them. Unfortunately, depression isn't something that can be cured with medicine. But I feel like my meds hold me together "good enough" to get by.

There's issues I gotta work on, inside and outside. But I haven't made that step yet. You can make that step when you're ready, but medicine is a really good easy start.
