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.
I'm 33 have depression, have always had depression, struggled for everything I have. I feel a loser I've fought for everything but in my mind its not good enough. Im only a shop manager. I worked on IT certificates before but it got me no work even though I tried hard. Now I feel im stuck. life hasnt given me the energy to be anywhere near as successful as I wish I could be. I have a girlfriend she is from Spain she is back there at the moment we talked about getting married but I think her family is against it, she hasnt text me back in over a day letting me wait which isnt fair, I wouldnt do the same to her, maybe I need a new girlfriend. seriously considering commiting suicide 2 failed attempts before used to think I was weak but now know I am not. I hate life at the moment so much shit in the world too many people killing each other for political and religious reasons. I need help.
please try to remember that for the last few thousand years, when a guy asked a girl to marry him, she would never THINK about answering yes on the spot... it was a proposal you delivered to her, which she took home and considered, sometimes for months or longer, before saying yes or no... personally, i believe if that was still the case, a lot fewer marriages would fail
people have been killing each other for political and religious differences from the begining of time and will continue to do so untill the end of time... just think for a moment what the world would be like if they werent? every human on earth would think the exact same way about everything... what would be the point of life then? we just hear a lot more of it now with mass media... if you need a break from it, try turning the media off for a lil bit
if you dont like this life, you can change it so much that its like a whole new life, without the hassle of growing up again... its a lot of hard work, but it can be done... people do it all the time... all of that hard work would also distract you from those thoughts
good luck, please dont give up
younger people to get their career going. It's not your fault (remember Robin Williams saying that over and over to Matt Damon in Goodwill Hunting)?
I imagine that it's hard to put your self out there and propose and then not get an immediate YES. Without knowing much more about the relationship it's hard to say what is going on.
Though it may feel like the end of the world, it really isn't.
Maybe she is thinking about it? Maybe she's not ready but still really loves you.
You can always reach out to her. In any event many successful people suffer from depression.
If you really feel suicidal, can you call your therapist, go to emergency department or connect with family? A bad time for you to make a big decision about ending your life
