I feel ya, I am going through a hard time myself right now. Like today I was so down that I didnt want to get out of bed or do anything but sleep so you are not alone. I know what it's like to want to give up that's how I am feeling right now, but something within me says that I cant or I will never know what could have been. I am tired of the pain too, sometimes I feel like I was dealt a bad hand, Anyways all I can say is to try to get support from here or try talking to a counselor. What keeps me going is my job, school and the fact that I study up on my depression/mental illness. overall hang in there i know what ur going through.

I understand too what your going through all too well. I feel that way at times too but then I realize I need to keep going in order to keep going because I have so many goals that I want to achieve. I tell myself that I won't let this (my Depression) keep me from achieving my dreams. Just keep hanging in there. We all have bad days.

Because thats what we do. face the world head on and take up the challenges put before us. The great men do it, the new dad does it. Thats what life is about. and its worth it.

we need the down days to rejuvinate....it feels like a day of loss but actually a day of healing.

My problem seems to be that i used to care or be able to find the motivation to continue on. Lately it seems harder than ever. I feel like throwing in the towel lately.

I can understand the feeling of wanting to throw in the towel, not seeing the positive in anything, and no one there to pull you out. At least that's how I've been feeling most days recently. But like clwangel said, you gotta things that keep you going, even if its the smallest thing. For me right now, I just moved and I'm focusing on fixing up my room. Throwing what energy I have into that makes each day the smallest bit bearable.

I get so tired sometimes, tired of trying. Feels like i could just curl up in a ball & just stop 'being'. It's a horrible feeling.

Life seems shit & even the stuff you know should make you want to kick yourself up the arse & get your head on doesnt help!

Sometimes you just have to bite down, grit your teeth & crack on!
It's awful & very hard but i know we can do it, because we are all still here! I also know that these times do pass, hang onto the good moments, even if sometimes they feel all too fleeting. We deserve that 'spark', & it can & will come back.
