poem-PLEASE READ

Why is life so full of so many ups and downs?
Why are my smiles always turned into frowns?
Why cant I just go on like everything is okay?
Why cant I be totally happy for one whole day?
I hate the person I am now, and the one I used to be.
I hate the one who made me feel insane and empty.
I hate that I dont feel love for anyone, not even my son.
I hate it that I dont have access to any type of gun.
I know depression lies and tells me things that arent true.
I know how it feels to not know what in the world to do.
I know its supposed to get better one of these days.
I know I cant keep running circles in this crazy maze.
I feel like nobody gets what goes through my head.
I feel like the life Im living is worse than being dead.
I feel like I have failed on so many levels, time and time again.
I feel like I should be able to make the pain and hurt just end.
I dont understand how to get through all of this.
I dont think I would be that greatly missed.
I dont see the point in even trying.
I dont know why I cant just stop crying.

Your poem almost made me cry it hit so many points that I have also felt before. I hope you're okay. Try to always remember that there is an end to the pain. It is hard to see the point of trying... but when you get help and support from people in the same position, you can see how much there is thats worth living for.

Just remember you are moving forwards, think of the decision you made to tell your mum how you felt. Thats a step forward, You say you can't love your son and cant try anymore, thats not your words, it's depression speaking for you. You're still in there somewhere, it's hard getting out but it can be done.xx

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
