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 never thought that I would be hurting so badly. I never thought that I would be the person who stopped hanging out with my friends. I never thought that waking up and going to school would be hell. I never thought that I would get my heart broken by a stupid boy. I never thought that maybe a razor blade to my leg would help. I never thought in a million years I would feel like everyone would be better off without me. Never did I think I would be on medication. Never did I think I would be depressed. But it happened. I feel like I'm slowly drowning and trying with every thing in my body to breathe. Every. Single. Day. Why do I feel like this? Why do I feel so lost and hopeless? Where was God when I needed him? Why did this happen to me? I honestly don't know if I will ever be truly happy again. Will a support group help me? I don't know. But I do know that I just need someone to be here for me. I need someone who gets it. I need someone that I can talk to, that won't get annoyed with me. I need a constant in my life.

It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
I'm sorry you're going through this. None of us think it will happen to us. Men will come and go and break your heart or you will break theirs. I prefer the latter personally. It sounds like you need to talk to your psychiatrist pronto because either your medicine needs an increase or a change. In the meantime, I recommending EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). Google "Magnus tapping" and the video should come up. I also use guided meditation apps and I'm amazed by how well they work to get me in a better state of mind.
I used to volunteer at a rehab hospital in the PT department. I had empathy for the patients, but now that I am one and I see people in their 60s moving better than me, it gets me irritated and I feel like a failure because I think, since I'm half their age, I should be out doing them. Logically I know it doesn't work that way but that is the feeling I get sometimes. I know you're probably doing the same thing, comparing yourself to others who don't struggle with your condition. Don't do that. I know, easier said than done. It's something I have to keep working on.
Call your doc tomorrow and see if you can be seen for an emergency visit.
