Why does life have to suck so bad? Just when everything feels like you turn a corner and the clouds lift, and the sun starts to shine, a flipping tornado flies through and destroys you every time. I am so tired of being let down. Why do I keep putting myself out there, why do I openly trust people and the things they say? I just want to go away, I am so tired. I hate how I feel right now. I am just so fed up with the anxiety and depression.

I feel ya on this I'm tired of being let down also. I don't know why I keep putting myself through the same bs. I sucks having depression and anxiety no one gets you unless they have it or been through it. Jus gotta keep our heads up best we can. Even though its so hard to do some days. It gets to be so lonely when your around people you know but have no idea how this stuff feels. Its like your in a room full of people and your still lonely as hell. I'm so glad I found this site and can talk to others who understand how it is. I miss the old me wish I could go back to those days where I felt well.

Thanks china, I feel exactly the same way. It's funny cuz its like in Titanic, my fav movie lol, when Rose says she feels like she's standing in the middle of the room screaming and no one hears her and no one even looks up, that's kind of how alone this depression and anxiety feels.

I am sorry you are feeling let down. I dont know the particulars of why you are feeling let down, but I know that it hurts. And there is a fine balance between being independent and entrusting others. Along with discussing how I felt with the person directly, here are three articles that helped me navigate those feelings:

Pretty vague but I understand what you are saying. Life can be unpredictable, people will let you down. Sometimes a lot. This is life, so I have found. The important part is to find your positive self, whatever you need to do: therapy, journaling, talking to someone you can really talk to. Coming here..yoga, meditation. You are more than just the circumstances around you. Stand strong. Believe in yourself.

So what went wrong? Do you want to talk about it? You were so happy the other day.

    Everyday I feel more and more sick. Being in pain every day, I've learned to disguise it. So well that others don't believe my pain when I speak of it. Needing help but only receiving negative responses, I find my way but pay for it later. I absolutely need the rest but there's pressing things to be done.

    Ugh my depression is really being triggered by the grief of losing my mom.  Ugh it sucks.  I wish this pain would leave me already.
