i've been depressed out of my mind lately, feeling much hopelessless, and real sick of dealing with the whole thing. i wish i was like non-depressed people. my life seems like an endless labyrinth. it's dark and confusing and unrelenting. i feel like such a failure. i'm so tired of it all. like a rerun of a bad movie i've seen 65 times.

i'm tired of obsessive thoughts, anxiety, feeling that society has its head up its @ss, feeling alone. just so sick of it.

i'm 36 and so lost. i feel like ive forgotten most of the wisdom about life i thought i had. i used to have dreams of being an accomplished writer, and artist, and i feel like ive run out of energy, and no one cares anyway, and my mental illness will always stimey my attempts at bettering my life. i've made a big effort to change to a practical computer career, but i'm having doubts about that. i feel that my life skills are so poor, and if i had the guts i'd just kill myself, but then i suspect i'm not thinking clearly. whatever the case, most everyone else in life seems to be doing things ok, and i feel like an embarassing failure. i dont like most of my family. I'm too poor to afford health insurance, so i cant spend money on getting my meds balanced. I'd like to be someone who is growing spiritually, at peace, with life, but i'm far from it.

people consider me to be brave in general, but i wonder if i'm just a coward in the end on many levels

And should i think of myself as challenged with depression, or should i refuse to see myself that way as that view leads away from success?

but i try man, and things just wont get better. everything i do, things just don't get better. i'm just full of hurt all the time.
