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've gotten to the point where my mind has snapped. All my defenses are gone and I see my family and my reality for the stark nightmare that it is. My mom, my enemy, my family, the enemy. I fooled myself they could ever love me and the more real it is, who they really are, the more of a mind bending and emotional mind f*ck it is.
I literally feel like I am going insane tonight. I'm scared. I am extremely agitated. I lay in bed and try to tell myself not to think of them and what they have done to me, all the abuse and lies and deception even now, even when I have cancer and I am ill. I try to distract myself like I used to be able to but I can't and my feelings are so strong and negative and angry it's scary.
I just need one person in real life to validate what is going on with me. To tell me it's them and not me. Because I am outnumbered. I need help real bad. The truth is, my family is evil and they will sacrifice me without batting an eye. How can they be so cruel, so insensitive and so sadistic and how could I not have found one person who I can trust and love and who trusts and loves me after all these years. The worst thing is some of them pretend to be nice, you know the type, the really evil ones who act nice especially when people are watching but will leave you dead by the side of the road if it comes down to it.
What the hell? I need to find another therapist but who? They are so hard to find and they aren't your friends. It's not the same. Please pray for me. I'm doing very badly. Very badly. I need to get more distance from these people. I told my mom next week I am kicking her out of the house into a hotel. She probaby won't survive there. I've had her here over 5 years and have begged her to find somewhere else to go but she won't. She's like a 2 year old. She is the link to my family. She must leave. I can't help it. I have reached my breaking point and have gone beyond it. I'm scared.

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
I'm mostly in counseling due to the fact that I've broken so many relationships in life. I have traits of narcissistic and borderline personality disorders, and perhaps bipolar. I've been far too impatient with people and cut them out of my life too easily. One being my mom.
However, I'm months into therapy and self reflection, and it seems to be the only relationship where it wasn't my fault. Even my spouse, who moved out almost two years ago, agrees that my mom was the issue. She tried reasoning with her too and got nowhere.
I also think her influence is part of the reason I'm messed up mentally. It's your mom - if anyone should love us unconditionally it's our mothers. It's horrible when that doesn't exist.
Maybe you need to cut ties as well. It's painful though. I wish my mom would call and apologize and work to build the relationship.
Also finding the right therapist is frustrating. Plus it's time consuming if you have to wait for appointment. Keep looking though. I have someone that I really trust now and it helps a lot.
I do need mental help asap and thank you for ideas for getting it. I will call 311 today.
I'm not really religious but I feel like saying God bless you both for reaching out to me. You have no idea how much that means to me when I am in this state.
