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 feel like I'm going no where in life. I feel like I'm stuck. But I've already accomplished so much. Right now, it all feels so worthless. People tell me I need to stop worrying so much. Is there an off switch for that? Cuz I can't seem to quit. I worry about my future all the time. I went back to school after I was discharged from the Navy. But I feel like I'm slipping away. My roommates treat me differently...like I'm broken. Could I be broken? I don't know what I'm doing with my life. I don't know who I am anymore. Some days, the urge to just give up gets to be so strong and I don't know how to stop it. I miss me; how I used to be. Back before I knew I was sick. Back when I thought I was on top of the world. Now I just feel like I'm going no where. I don't know what to do anymore. I just want to lay down and let it all just slip away. I'm so scared.
Are you seeing a dr? i started on depression meds in my early 20's which really helped. Also, therapy would be a great idea
I always suggest therapy & seeing a doc too. Not because everyone needs it, I myself, am not even sure it's the cure to everything because sometimes not even they help. But when you seek help from both a therapist & a doctor you feel like at least you could say you've tried everything to get better. At least you went on a support group & vented on a forum for help, at least you are truly doing everything in your power to be the person you used to be.
If you keep that perceptive then maybe you'll see yourself differently, in a more positive light. When you cut yourself some slack & think of how strong you are for just reaching out to get better & fight this illness that isn't your fault in anyway. It just is.
