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.
Hi, everyone. I recently joined and this is first time posting here. I am 25 yr old man battling depression for 10 yrs now. I never thought depression would play this much influence on my life and give me this much pain on my life. It robbed me of living the life I want to live.
I always thought I was strong enough to overcome any mental obstacles with my sheer willpower, tenacity, determination, and never-wavering inner strength. But recently, I feel like "why even bother? It never got better. I am still struggling after 10 yrs."
I hate to say this but it almost seems like my life is cursed and i am fighting a lost battle. I have tried counseling/meds and have had only limited success.
Recently, I became so low, depressed that I even started ask this Q. "If life is to be so painful, unbearable like this, why even bother creating one?"
Can anyone offer me insights/advice on how to go about this? Thanks in advance for any insights.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
all i can say is that i believe i am here for a reason. i believe in God, but if you don't, i'm not sure what my advice is. i'm not sure i've found an earthly answer to help me through what i feel on a daily basis.
good luck
i guess that's why we're all here.
you are in my thoughts & prayers
