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.
Please know I care very much and am here for you. Take the advice about the hotlines-good people there. Go to an ER if you feel unsafe. PLEASE DON'T' GIVE UP!!!
I don't need to take medication and I don't need to call or get admitted into the ER again because all they do is ask for your insurance and take your money. What I need is social change and justice, what I need is to be appreciated and treated with respect and dignity.
It's not fair for me to work with violent mentally disabled children for 800$ a month, it is not fair for me to risk my life in another country putting my life in danger and on hold for 30k in one year. I am not deploying for that when you can make like 45k-55k just working a regular office job.
The reason that I live and suffer each day is because of that cross, everyday I look up and have hope because of that. I can't take nor accept this humanity, I cannot accept that we are nothing more than animals. My life is brutal, my life is torture but I know that I do not find my solace in this earth.
I would like to see people treat each other better and not oppress one another for selfish gain or exploit people.
Being deployed....your job.
Can you use the army or what service you are in to further your education to come out and get a higher paying job? The world is not easy now....Life is hard.
Thank you for fighting for our country...I appreciate you!
Think about others if you can't love yourself.
I'm sure others love you and would be terribly devastated if you were to harm yourself.
You have a purpose on this earth...you haven't found it yet I guess...but don't leave and you will.
The general question is: Are you taking medication for depression? If you are..it seems like it needs to change...give yourself some more time...a miracle may happen.
I read someone said they wanted to kill themselves a while back or how grateful they were that they didn't follow thru.
Killing yourself....is the end...then there is no chance for change.
And others will think it may be their fault...
I don't want to leave people with that burden.
But I am upset at the inequality and disparities that I see in society and also with the way that I am treated.
Too many people in this country get rich from exploiting others and they have no sense of patriotism, they take and take but never give anything back.
All I want is freedom, I want the freedom to produce my own resources and we live in a highly materialistic society with over-priced health care and most of our real production comes from other countries. As a result, we are shuffling money around and flying towards poverty.
People who have money may wonder why? They may not acknowledge the validity of my opinion but they don't understand that when you are near destitute sleeping on friends sofas or the floor and struggling to survive life is quite different.
The reason people are so manic for money is because they don't have any skills to produce their own goods. If I can grow my own vegetables and animals, if I can chop down my own trees and dig and construct then I am a free man. I am empowered and my fate is in my own hands.
We are such a heavily restricted society and I think the way things are right now are just flat out stupid. We have too many RN's, RN assistant, x-ray tech people, we have so many people getting paid good and not doing anything but standing around half the day while we have other people working like slaves and only getting paid half the day.
The people up top are failing us, that's all I want to say.
Also for what it's worth, I don't mean to just bash the blue collars, to be honest it is not their fault it is really the idiots who design those jobs and send everything to other countries, make millions and cheap out on taxes that we desperately need.
We don't need more medication or therapeutic bs, we just need to have people earning livings and getting laid.
I think that I can identify with you thru him....he is so down on himself (he has felonies)...that he thinks this is all he can do. He talks about suicide all the time or he talks about going back to jail for a vacation from this world...and the stress. That is so sad.
I offer you the same advice I offered him..but he wouldn't take it because of his self esteem and I don't expect you to take it either because when you feel this low it is really hard to do anything.
But, I'm going to plant the seed....the local unemployment agencies (even if you are working)....list jobs.....that he could apply for....they also provide training for other jobs (such as truck driving) where he could earn more income...He won't because he is petrified of losing what he has and not measuring up to what he would be walking in to.
I was on Welare when he was 1....I got into a deep rut....what I did was went to a local temp agency and discussed what I wanted to do...they found me a job that started my career....
You are worth something...everyone is...you just have to dig deep and force yourself to make some changes....or some different efforts...
I also envy and become angry at the richer people....but I won't end my life over it...because that just shows everyone that I was weak....don't give up Friend4
