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.
As hard as I've tried, I can't remember the last time I was truly happy. I've been through a lot in my life but know there are people out there who have way harder lives and wake up with a smile. Whatswrong with my brain, since starting lexapro I've had dreams and more consistent thoughts of taking my life, in vivid ways. I don't want to be a burden to my family or friends anymore, this life is too painful and this world is so messed up. What's the point, survive? Why live if every day I want to die. The only thing stopping me is the idea of going to hell, if god is real shouldn't he understand I just cant do it anymore
You were put here for a reason, as the rest of us. The only option is to force yourself to live. Every morning you wake up, force yourself to look forward to the end of the day. I know it sounds stupid, but eventually you will start to pay less attention to the demon in your head.
I`m no longer in a state clinically defined as a "depression".
When I was, I was on meds - which only did more harm, than good.
Keep strong, I hope you will find the light.
From my soul to yours.
