I wish it would end

I am not suicidal but I often wish I would pass away in my sleep. I am so tired of living. I am lonely, bored, and depressed all the time. I keep thinking and hoping things will get better but they don't. I sit here all alone most of the time. I see a therapist once a week but it really doesn't help. Of course, I don't even tell her the truth about my feelings. I do take medication also. I'm just tired of living.

Believe it or not i am the same way. Not living just existing walking around like a robot. I hate everything & find no pleasure in anything. Nothing else can be done for me they tried all the meds. I keep getting worse & worse everyday what is the use of living.

"Of course I don't even tell her the truth about my feelings".
Well how in the heck is she supposed to help you then?
Do you want to be helped? Use therapy the way it was
meant to be used. Get the most out of it that you can.
I understand about being tired of living, I am homeless
and sleep in my car. I absolutely hate life. There is nothing
anyone can do for me. I simply wait for it all to end. But
you have something that can help you. Use it.

Heretic this is a "support" group. I'm not sure if you're aware but we're here to help each other not criticise. Please be kind. Just because all our situations are different does not mean one person is suffering any more or less than the next. This world is a cruel place without having cruel people commenting.

Thank you louella1 for understanding. I don't tell my therapist exactly how I feel because to be honest I don't even know how to begin to start. An hour is not much time to explain away years and years of your life. To pacots I am just existing also. I know some may not understand that and that is okay. They don't need to. I guess you can only understand if you have been there yourself. And I appreciate the ones who do understand and support me.

I spent many years just existing like you are describing and I know how awful that kind of life is. Sometimes it takes a while before it gets better and that can be hard to accept and to live with. ANd in therapy you are not expected to be able to explain your whole life in one hour. It takes time. But if you at least start wtih what you are feeling then you can at least start to get some of that out in to the open so that you can start to feel better. It's a lot of work to get these issues worked through but it's worth it. Little by little life will start to feel worth living again-----just stay with it and come here any time for more support.
