I have been trying to handle all the losses these last 3 years. In short..I lost my relationship..my career..my daughter won't talk to me. I am renting a room. I am working as a petsitter. My depression has been back for the last 6 months at least. I want to make changes...meet friends.. and get my life back... I work crazy ling days and am not really good at making new friends.. I am 57 and I just feel like giving up... I am so done. ..

I am sorry that you feel like giving up. I can understand the sadness and frustration for your losses. I am estranged from my daughter also and its heartbreaking. I hope that you can feel support and love from this site.
Sending you hugs

I understand your feeling of giving up. I've felt it also, as have many of us who are on this site. I've had so many losses & most are my own fault. Depression is a joy stealing monster. Please try to find help with therapy or medication. Please try to find some joy. Your life can be better & you can find a way through this. I don't know you, but I so hear you. Hugs

I have felt the same and do now. I get tired of trying every day. It makes u want to stop trying. I pray that you have the strength to keep onvtrying. My psychologist always says...suicide is a ppermanant solution to a temporary problem.
