I don't want to live anymore. I there is nothing in my life that brings me joy or any ounce of happiness. I hate my job, I have no personal life and I can barely get out of bed. I thought I'd feel better about myself if I could lose the extra weight but it just won't come off, even when doing an expensive diet plan and being very restrictive. I just don't want to do it anymore. I've thought long and hard about this and no one will miss me, people don't even notice when I am gone, it won't be that much different when it's permanent.

Struggling to stay alive myself. Its so hard some days, it sounds like the depression really is taking a toll on you. Have you tried counseling or meds? I struggle with weight/ED issues and I know how frustrating it is to live inside a body you feel uncomfortable in. Please don't give up. I could use a friend like you who understands the hell of depression and the toll it takes on our lives. People in the real world just don't get it if they don't have it. Please try to find support and keep reaching out here.

I feel the same way most of the time. I am new here and could use someone like you who understand what I am going through. People just do not get it. Keep reaching out. That is what I guess I need to do. I just hope people reach back.

It''s time to call a suicide hotline. Please. We are worried about you. We do not want to see anything happen to you. Depression runs in cycles. Do you have a doctor? Please talk to someone. We can only do so much from cyberspace.

You are in my prayers, equinegurl. Sending positive vibes your way.

Unfortunately, I feel the same way. I remember a comedian saying once that dying naturally is God's way of saying you're fired. Ending your own life is like saying I quit!
I didn't find it funny it seemed like a true statement. I hope everyone can recover...I have hope but not for myself. :(

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
