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 feel like I am trapped in a small dark hole without air. I cannot seem to wake up from this bad dream I am in and I am suffocating. Life keeps kicking me down for the last 6 years. i had it made and I gave it all up for a man. And since he cheated on me I cant seem to recover. His girlfriend still stalks me, slanders me all over town. My current boyfriend is completely selfish and I cannot talk to him about anything without him turning it around and starting a fight. My family, including my parents, are worse off then I am so I have no one to rely on. My job is a horrible place to be, even though I praise God that I have a job, it kills me to get up in the morning. I cry morning and night.. I pray daily for God to take me away. Not sure what else to do... I can't see beyond my nose and my guts are in constant knots... How do I find air again??? :...(
Perhaps make a list of things about your life that bother you, and then assess which ones are under your control. Pick the ones you have more under your control and try to change them?
If the stalking is dangerous, perhaps a restraining order would help?
If your boyfriend is that selfish, perhaps dumping him and finding somebody who deserves you?
Jobs can be hard to come by, but keep your eyes and ears open. A job in a better environment may be there.
Gentle hugs
As for the stalking, it hasn't been dangerous, just annoying and degrading. The things she says about me and the things she does, hurts me. She placed public posts on her facebook about me being blind in one eye and gets pictures of me my ex still had and crops them and posts them for people to laugh at me. She hits where it hurts.. Its all emotional stalking, not physical, yet.
I would like to just leave but I have no money, we live together. And because of the way I was raised my consience is killing me to leave him dealing with his dying mother. Believe me, I have packed many times. But then something inside me is holding me back...
As for jobs, I apply every place I can. This economy really is holding a lot of people back from growing in their career. Specially when you work in the public sector position.
Thank you again.
