I'm suffering so much

These past few days have neen hell for me. I can barely leave bed and I can't sleep very well. It's like I don'y have the energy to move, yet I can't even sleep to recover my energy. The smallest tasks are so difficult. I even skipped work a few days. I've skipped work so much I think I'm getting fired soon. I've also been on anti depressants and anti anxiety medication for months, they worked a bit during the first few weeks, but now it's like they don't work anymore. I feel like I don't want to continue living.

Hi! It’s been a while since I’ve been on the site it seem like the site was having some issues. Want to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Yeah I really had a major episode of depression right before December I seem to be doing better now. I just seem to be having some anxiety now. We’re in a new state and no family aroundCourse that may be a good thing when I mean by family is my brothers and sisters. I am blessed to have my husband and my son with me during these holidays which is I’m so grateful for it God is so good!

Me, I have no one. I have to take a plane to see my family. I'm all alone. Barely any friends.

Would moving back to town where your family is an option? I don’t know how it feels since I only have to drive an hour and I’m with family but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel the distance since my parents are actually 20hr drive away. I don’t do the friendship thing it seems every girl I make friends with my partner wants to fuck them so I don’t do well with that. I don’t feel like I can connect with anyone not even my partner even though he too suffers from depression and depressive thoughts. I find an online pen pal is great to talk to

    I'm just still surprised and shocked at how my life turned out and how a man who used to shed tears when promising me forever, to love, protect and care for me can suddenly turn into a narc I couldn't recognize. It's been two years since my divorce but sometimes the trauma and horror I experienced come rushing back. Anyway he moved on with another woman before we went our separate ways, turns...

    I need some outside perspective because I’ve been feeling extremely lonely in my relationship, and it’s getting harder to ignore.I’m with a woman who has two kids, and over time I’ve realized I don’t feel connected to her or the home at all. She and the kids have their own bubble, their own rhythm, their own emotional world. I’m there physically, but I don’t feel included in...
