Don't feel bad I'm in the same position basically alone in a state that doesn't hold my name, and only two friends out here but we are drifting apart. I also would like to have kids and get married also but sadly I'm so far away from town I feel I am locked away in Solitary Confinement. I hope you feel better and stay strong, you are not alone :) Stay Frosty!

I am so sorry you feel this way. Health problems are hard to deal with on their own but coupled with depression is really hard. No wonder you are struggling. Please take a step back and look at how well you have been handling everything you have going on and what you are dealing with health wise. I think you will find you are a really strong person who is very capable.

Happiness does not come with marriage, or jobs, or no health issues. You could have all those things and still have depression. Depression touch everyone regardless of age, sex, or status.

I too from time to time pray that God will call my number. It is just to overwhelming sometimes, but once in a while the depression lifts enough to see something awesome in life that makes me want to continue. That is just the depression talking when I want to stop living.

If you are on meds, you might want to see your doctor as they may need to be adjusted. Also I would suggest you see a therapist. Perhaps the professionals can get you into a support group with others so you can feel less alone physically and emotionally. I know for me finding others with the same issues has been very helpful for me. I will be attending an outpatient program soon for mood disorders. I am looking forward to it.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear, that you feel exactly as I do. I'm also behind all of my friends...everyone is having kids and getting married. My job is terrible, and the program I'm trying to get into at school so competitive, I may never get accepted. I know what it feels like to be at rock bottom. I know how you feel when you say you feel alone. Sleep is bittersweet. I sleep WAY too much, but if I don't I will be tired and not want to be awake. I guess for some of us, life is just different. I feel that depression is part of who I am, and no matter what i will deal with it on and off. The lows are low. But once you've hit rock bottom the only direction you can go is up. I hope you feel better today than when you posted. Try to find a distraction. Exercise, movies, painting, a friend, a family member.

*hugs*

i'm sorry that you're havign such a hard time TC. I hope that you can find some peace, not in the way of death, but a better life. we all deserve happiness.

I know exactly how you feel. Unfortunately, I can't find employment due to my agoraphobia and depression. My day consists of getting up around 10:00, messing around on the computer for a few hours (I don't have a TV) taking a "nap" (which equals some people's nights sleep), getting up and mess with the computer and wait until it's time to go to bed. I rarely leave the house and I live alone, with the exception of my cat. For all intents and purposes I'm completely isolated. I do have a friend and my mom who calls to check on me once in a while, but I feel guilty that they're worried about me 'cuz I don't think I deserve it. Many times when I go to sleep I just wish I'd never wake up. This site has helped me with the encouragement others offer, and I hope it will help you also. At least you now have people who care about you now.

it is so said to here this pain you are in .............there will come better days ......................i will keep you in my prayers ..............god bless.........i am sorry i dont have eneything else to say it just hurts to read your post

TC40, you are not alone. I had 4 awful days and 2 of them I slept most of the time. I am no longer married because I had Satan for a husband. I have two boys that I hear from one, maybe once a month and I haven't seen the other one since September. I have more health issues then I can count and I too pray and ask for my number to be called. However, it's obviously not my time. I feel alone a lot of the time too and I feel sad a lot of the time as well. If you ever want to talk, Meebo me or send me a P. Message. Hugs GB

You're definitely not alone, we're all here for you.

I am sorry to hear u are feeling that way. I think all of us here have felt that sense of despondency and hopelessness. I agree counseling would be very helpful.
I know this site has been enormously helpful for me, so i hope u will hear alll of the compassionate kindness those of us on this site have to offer and we can hopefullg be your shoulder to lean on
