depression has taken over and I feel as though that I have no purpose. i have felt complete once in my life and that was when i was pregnant. It wasn't all about me and being trapped in my head and I would take the pain that I was in and the sickness. i could overcome anything because i was going to have my child and I was going to do it right. Now I don't feel like or the strength to get out of bed.

k73, I think-- we define the purpose and any purpose that takes you out depression -- wi;l be good. Even if the staff looks completely impossible or unacceptable. I, once being unemployed, worked as a waitress and dishwasher, because I simply could not find another job-- but believe me, I was so happy that time-- I was baadly tired, no time to think and it gave me money, even if little.

I had a shrink ask me to define my life purpose in seven words or less years ago... it was really hard and took a long time to come up with something, first cause I thought a purpose needs to be like something really grand. I worked on that and finally came up with: "To honor my creator with my creativity" which may sound a bit stupid but even after all these years, it will pop into my head and remind that hey, aint you supposed to be making art? And then if I concentrate towards doing art projects, it does help me get out of the deep slumps.

Why do we need a purpose. If its so hard for me to even find out what it is maybe it isn't meant to be.

I know I have a calling but I have to be well to accomplish it. I know the low times help to build the strength. But I don't know why I have to suffer with all this. I know not sweat the little stuff but right now I feel everything. You know like my mom used to say "I got one nerve left and you're on it."
