You are wrong. YOU DO HAVE A PURPOSE IN LIFE! You are beautiful and you are loved.

You have been listening to the voice of depression. It LIES. It is always wrong. You are not lazy and weak. You are ill. Depression is a mental illness. You can't help others at the moment because you need help first.

You need to go and see a doctor and get some medication. It will take awhile before it starts to help. In the meantime be kinder to yourself. Would you talk this way to a friend who was depressed? No! You would feel bad for them and want to cheer them up.

You do not want to die. You want to feel better. And you deserve to. Being depressed is a terrible way to live. Thank God there is help available. Find a therapist. Talk to someone who will understand. You won't feel this way forever.

This is a great community of people. Keep coming here. Talk to us. We care. And we understand because we have all felt that way. I wish I could could give you a big hug in person but this will have to do (((((HUG)))))

Please don't hate yourself. It is hard to get up and do anything when you are depressed. Just to get up and go in the kitchen and cook yourself something to eat can seem like climbing Mt Everest when you are down. I understand how you feel when you feel you add no value to anything or anyone. Do not feel that way. It is just the depression clouding your thoughts. Try to get past the negative thoughts. Everytime you have a negative thought, try to replace it with a positive one. I hope in time you will feel better.

That's your depression talking. Depression lies. Emotions don't always tell the truth about the situation. Hang in there and don't give up.

I hear you. I was in this place once. Some people on here helped me adjust my attitude. I am glad that they did. My life, once in shambles, and on fire, is beautiful today. A lot of beautiful people on this site, and in my life, helped me to take off the "garbage glasses", and see my life for the beautiful thing it is.

Don't be so hard on yourself, and for the love 'o mud, don't give up. You are only 18; you are just gettin' started!!!!
