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.
What a bump deal that is! Really people need to STOP IT with that crap. You're amazing and can get enjoyment from other things. Remember, there is A LOT of bad sex out there. I'm just sayin.
I'm sorry that your extended family is so cruel. Shame on them. Serequel is a nasty drug for weight gain. I was on it and Itade me so tired, I asked the dr. To take me off, now I'm on 3 other types of meds for depression and bi-polar disorder. You are not alone in wanting to end your life, but peoples reasons are different...one cmon denominator though is that feeling of worthlessness.
And you aren't, it is the disease of depression talking. If you had cancer, you wd go thru treatments, do you also have to try with depression Bcz it is an illness, your medicines aren't working properly...can you call the dr. Tomorrow? U have to keep trying until you can find some answers, it may not feel like it now but...
Your life does have value and you matter..and your children love you.
I sent you a long reply to your message.
You are right if I had cancer I would go through treatment. It is just Ive been bad for so long. Pdoc has said he thinks Im treatment resistant. I am looking into a couple of other treatments similar to the 19 treatments of ECT I had 2 years ago.it didnt help. I also am being referred to out Mental Health Hospital and will either be doing intense inpatient or outpatient, which gives me access to a counsellor the same day or next. I am sad I will be losing my awesome pdoc, but hopefully the new one at the hospital will be good
Also, it is so true my kids love me. I have really scared them with my ODing. They dont want me alone now so not much privacy right now
I dont know if Ill ever get out of this pit. Ive been on disability for 4 years now. I want to go back to school for a better job and not some dump fucking underpaid overworked retail job.
This just makes me want to kill myself....I just can't cope. What do I have left?. I wont be able to save enough money for years if even that. In October, it is my sons 18th birthday and I will lose government money.child tax benefit, ODSP and CPP.all will be reduced.
I just feel there is nothing left to live for. I dont want to be on disability the rest of my life. I wanted to work towards getting off disability and making good money.
You have your kids that love u very much, i know what it feels like to live in pain daily - i deal with bone pain etc.... as i am a cancer survior (total 36 years) & still going thru alot u think i don't want to give up at times (yea) but im a fighter so i can be here to help you have alot here that love u for being u - PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP.............it will get better you are stronger than u think you are & there is lite at the end of the tunnel & waiting on the other side is a huge rainbow....
((((Luv,Angel))))..... im here for u anytime..........
Your family sound like a bunch of genuine charmers! Don't let their ignorance push you to the brink. If you are able, keep your distance, as toxic people are the last thing you need right now.
Have you looked into other colleges? Or online studying? I got my degree almost entirely online...it can be done! Plus, there are a lot of grants out there for 'non traditional' students, for women, and also a lot of professions have specific grants. If there's a college near you that has a career counselor on staff, they have access to all this stuff...and they'll sit down with you even if you're not a student...I believe they'll do it over the phone too :)
Wishing you peace...it WILL get better...it's just slow to get there sometimes...gentle hugs
