Hang in there. Life is a series of ups and downs. Eventually you will experience joy again. Try journaling about your feelings and reach out to someone you trust. I hope you start feeling better soon.

I have felt at least similar to how you are feeling now.........I just keep telling myself that this too shall pass. The good times pass, as well as the bad because the only constant in life is change. Life really can be like riding a roller coaster. Just try to hang on until you see the sun shine again in your life. My heart goes out to you......

I try but it just hurts more. I just don't know if it will pass. I am struggling with what I am going to do more my career cannot seem to get that started and feel like I will forever be alone because I people have screwed me over so many times and don't care about me. I can't find someone to trust. I can't trust any of my friends and can't tell my family. I have been hanging on for about a year now and don't want to anymore. I can't keep holding on.

Hey there, I'm sorry you're having such a hard time and that shit is hitting the fan. I'm just gonna say that it's going to really suck to take the steps necessary to help yourself, like therapy or even putting on clothes. I really strongly suggest getting therapy, because it sounds like you don't have anyone to talk to right now. A year is long enough to deal with this--you need a therapist or counselor by your side to help you. Things do get better, I promise.

I agree with minirini that getting a therapist will help. Try your very best to get one. They are amazingly helpful. Please hang on till the tides pass, and they will. I guarantee it. Please keep me posted as to how you are.......people care about you.

Sorry for all that you are struggling with. You might want to see a psychiatrist first so that they can evaluate and make a diagnosis The doctor may or may not recommend medication. They can also recommend a therapist or counselor who is probably associated with the doctor's office. You would greatly benefit by talking with a therapist. Best of luck to you.

I have a therapist and have even tried medication. I was on a rocky road with my therapist but finally saw her for the first time in a while this week. I have tried medication but nothing works. I am just scared because I want to tell the health care professionals about my thoughts but feel like they will lock me up.

I just feel like I can't be myself because the people that know don't accept or want to be around my depression and the people that don't I feel like will look at me differently and maybe won't want to be friends.

Hi there, sorry to hear you are going through so much right now. I don't know how your local health care system works so I cannot comment too much on that. But I don't think anybody who is going through a difficult time and having a hard time coping mentally should just be lock up. What they need is being accepted and embrace.

If the current therapist don't work, do consider changing another one. But do press on and keep up with your medication. Sometimes we don't see immediate effect for the medication. And if you feel that the medication don't work, inform your doctor and see if they can change the prescription for you. Hope this helps. Be well and take care. God Bless!

You mentioned that medication does not work. Sometimes the doctor has to make adjustments to medication by offering something different and changing dosages. You may want to talk to your doctor about that possibility. In regard to your therapist it is very important that you feel comfortable telling them anything that is bothering you. They cannot fully give you the help and guidance you need unless you are completely honest about your thoughts and feelings. If you don't feel comfortable with this therapist, try another one until you find the right one for you. It often takes going to several different therapists in order to find one you are able to trust and feel comfortable with.

I like this one a lot, I just feel like if I tell them I cut or have been suicidal then they will have to do something.
