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 still don't care...don't want to do anything...take my meds day in and day out...and then I just sit and worry...I have things that I have to do...and I try...I try to force myself to do them...but I just get so frustrated and overwhelmed and my anxiety levels just go up...
then if I try to do something...I forget about everything else and just focus undeterred on that one single thing...and worst of all...well I don't want to talk about that right now...
but this crap physical health, mental health, other's health...it's just so hard to take sometimes...everyone is sick...and I want to make it better but I can't....I can't even make my self better...
I've been 'sick' and out of work for over a year...barely surviving on nothing...but I don't want to ask for help...as in disability ...because it just makes me feel so dependent...and I don't like being dependent on anyone....and I'm afraid that I'll be denied because I'm not 'really sick' and ...I just don't handle rejection well...
I keep trying to force myself to do the things I have to do, but I can't ...I just want to be alone in my sorrow...anytime I spend time with people, I come away feeling anxious and very tired...and this is with anyone...and I just don't want to talk to or be around anyone...I don't know what my problem is ...all I do know is that I just don't like people very much!...never have...and now that I have this depression/anxiety thing it's a lot worse!!!!! ...and that makes this LIFE VERY HARD!!!! ...for me.
Well?

Pretend that everything is going to work. Project a plan in your mind of a possible future and go with it.
In your bad time, you might be spinning a chamber and pointing a gun at your head, but when that passes go back to the positive thinking. It's not really fake, just a possible future if things work out for you.
As far as people go, there are some really good positive ones here.
Message me with your problems or anything else, and I'll respond.
Take care
(I was joking about the gun)
I responded yesterday to your earlier post and am struck by how much your feelings / challenges seem similar to mine.
Thinking of you and praying tonight.
