This is too much

I am so exhausted from fighting myself.   Nothing feels right and I feel like I’ve made a mess of my life.  I am alone , and so tired that I don’t even have the energy to put into the friendships that I’ve managed to somehow hold onto .  I literally drag myself through the day at a job that doesn’t fulfill me just to come home and sleep until I have to get up and do it all over again .  I’m so sad and it really feels like there is no hope .  I don’t have the money to go to therapy or to see a psychiatrist like I probably should.  Then I wonder what the point of that even is ... it has never helped in the past .  I wouldn’t end things only because I couldn’t hurt my parents like that , but I don’t know how much longer I can feel like this .  I feel like I’m losing my mind & I’ve made stupid decisions that make me feel like I don’t deserve to be happy. I’m not comfortable anywhere , not even being alone in my own house.  Life really absolutely sucks & I hate every minute of it :(

Then the odds of getting better are slim. Try this:

Depression does not fix itself. It usually gets worse. You must find professional help.

We have all made stupid decisions, but those stupid decisions can't define who we are. Finding help is so important. I would call around to see if any counselors would be willing to work from a slide scale fee and find someone reasonable. Best wishes.

Sorry to hear of the pain and loneliness that you are feeling. Unfortunately, part of being human is that we fail and make mistakes. I would encourage you to seek out the help of a physician or counselor. I know that in the state that I reside counselors are required to do a sliding scale if they receive certain state funding. If you need help getting started with a counselor, please let me know. I encourage you to tell friends, or someone that you trust about the struggle that you are feeling. They may be able to support you and help you to get the assistance that you need.
