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.
This is my first post. Where do you go when there is no place left to turn? Every day is a struggle to get up and get out of bed. I often feel like I cant go on anymore. My life seems like it should be great. But I am so depressed and wish I were dead. I dont have the guts to actually kill myself though. I have a psychiatrist who I see for medicines only. He admits that he is running out of ideas as the SSRIs have been making me sick. I see a therapist once a week. But I feel so alone and like things will never get better. Today I sat on the computer looking up ways to kill myself but I am too gutless to go through with anything. I feel like I have no place to turn.

You are not alone! I feel alone as well but keep telling myself that I am not alone, I am not alone.... As I'm writing to you I don't feel so lonely. Try to think or telling yourself even if you don't feel like it, that yes, my life will be better, Keep repeating it...try to force yourself to do something, anything. Suicide is not an option! People need you, you are special! It is hard, but it will get better, you'll see, it will...praying helps me which is simply talking to God, asking for hope and strength...even if you don't believe in God, just ask. My heart is with you.

It may feel this way, but you are not running out of options. If your doctor and/or your therapist aren't working for you find a new one. Sometimes it is just a matter of finding someone who is right for our needs.

Do you think anxiety is genetic or comes from your environment? What are your thoughts?

Many of you know Mr K told me to "shut your mouth" in March 2025 when we took a road trip to Alpena Michigan. Since that time, we have had lots of ups and downs but I have never intentionally hurt Mr K in anyway. And when we first started dating in 2024 he let me know, although he is an engineer by degree, he has an extremely low EQ. Overall, he is ok (not off the charts nice like other guys in...
