I'm getting tired of this

Hey all, 


My turn to be one of those extreme people... my very soul is tired and it's not a tired I can sleep off. I'm tired of waking up miserable, I'm tired of wishing cars would hit me as I walk, I'm tired of the intense mental pain each day, and I'm tired of being so alone. I wish all of us could be near one other to comfort each other but I sadly that isn't how this works. I don't know how to keep going and I want it all to end.

I'm with you. Its incredibly exhausting having to live this way. Living a single day feels like living months and a week can feel like years. I went to the er last week because of my anxiety and depression and it feels like a lifetime ago.

Though our minds want to trick us into believing this is forever, it truly isn't. We're both going to get through this.

The beginning of this week seems like ages ago. It just seems so pointless trying to be happy and keep going when nothing has changed for so long

Sorry for what you are going through. Know that your are not alone. Have you seen a professional doctor or therapist? If not, I recommend that you see a psychiatrist who can evaluate and make a diagnosis. The doctor can refer you to a therapist or counselor. You need to talk to someone in the professional field about how you are feeling and thinking.

Are you on medications? if so, be aware that some actually cause these thoughts! Call your doctor and explain what is going on, perhaps he knows a therapist to recommend. Also, there are so many help lines for depression. Here is one I have heard about...samaritansnyc.org/24-hour-crisis-hotline/.
get with friends, family or whatever it takes to help you through this time. Always remember that God has a plan for your life, so ask Him what it is and where to go. You have a story that others need to hear...I am praying for your peace and comfort and to know how valuable you are!
