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 have been losing the will to live again. Life is getting so hard to face each day. I wake up every day and ask why do I have to be here. I hate my life but have to stay here because I have 2 kids. It is getting hard to keep even that important to me. I don't have any one in my life that understands. I try to read books to help myself but have a hard time consecrating. Just like now the words just don't come out to express myself. I don't know where to turn any more. I just don't know what to do any more.
glad you have those children of yours to keep you alive and give you a reason to live. you HAVE to keep going, for them, they deserve to have a father and you sound like an intelligent decent kind of guy so dont deprive them of that xxxxxxxx
yeah concentration can be hard, how about films..? it can be easier to watch movies than read a book.. you could also just read for like 15 minutes, then take a break etc...
getting some exercise if you dont already should help, it helps most people ive talked to - i just take a fast walk with my dog and when i get home im tired and feel healthy... its a good feeling. then i can concentrate better on stuff becuase my pent-up energy is gone.
by posting on here thats a good start... im sure people have said this a million times but have you seen ur doctor, becuase depression is really common more than you'd think and you can get medication if you want it, and/or therapy, which for most people is really helpful.

all you have to do is change that"have" to "want" to be here for your kids and that will be a major boost for you, just keep trying my friend, keep changing it up different combinations till you find the right recipe for being happy, and you will! now go hug your kids !
