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 not doing well. I've been overeating to kill pain. I'm too tired and depressed to write more. I called in sick to work again. I don't want to do anything anymore. I hate life. I hate most people. Why am I still here? I don't have kids. never will. alone.
Thank you for writing. I didn't think anyone could make me feel better and you did. Everything you said. Hour by hour. I'm not alone. and that saying. and yea, loneliness is hell. thank you. I am going to try to take a nap and then get through the next hour after that. thank you.
Anna i am in the same place mentally as you except i have children, One thing for sure i loneliness is a strong hold that once it got you is wants to glue to your mind. But i am keeping myself remembering all that i have dear to me and that keeps me from going over the edge. i dont know how your personal life is set up but try getting out when the darkness loom over you. Just one foot after the other. Take a nice bubble bath then put on something nice and go out somewhere anywhere where there is people and music and just smile. Also if you can hit the gym. (Just talking to myself)
That is really sad to hear. Loneliness sucks. I suppose you have heard it all before, like join a club or group locally in order to make friends. The fact that you are here online shows me you are keen to connect.
One of the best things I done was to get a dog. He needs me, shows me unconditional love and raises my spirits.
Loving Kindness to you.
