Will anyone miss me when I'm gone

Probably not for they are the reason I feel the way I do. Losing my job in 3 weeks. Ultimately, will lose my tiny 2 bedroom, falling down around me shack of a rental. Dealing with a rebelling16 yr old .. I've isolated myself from drama queens, who were my only friends. My car is about to brake down. Every plan I arranged to celebrate the 4th .. People backed out, something better came up. So I say it again, will anyone miss me when I'm gone? Will they notice the turmoil and stress I've been under to understand why I gotta do what I gotta do?

You would be missed, depression lies to us for years about our self worth, it blinds us from the truth that we are needed and loved and although we are not always appreciated, are wanted.

Wow, I haven't had a chance to keep up with the responses in the last few days. So now, I'm laying in bed crying at all of the nice things everyone has said. I just can't seem to pull out of this funk. Still nothing on a job. That's probably the worst. Feeling a lititle extra lonely tonight. Even though I spent the day with my 5 month old granddaughter. I'm home alone and feeling discouraged and worthless. Maybe it time to take just "one" Xanax and sleep for a bit to help with the anxiety. Again, thank you everyone. At least I know I'm not alone in this lonely world. Sure wish there was a way to meet some of the awesone people on this site that I've met over the years.

It might be cool to meet some of the people from this site wouldn't it? I can see it now, a dozen people agree to meet, all with various issues. half of us would probably show up but be too afraid to get out of our cars.....hiding behind trees....and the rest just standing there not knowing what to say. PARRRR-TAY! lol

seriously though.....I think I would be more comfortable around people who can openly admit to having problems. It would be way easier for me to talk to others who know what depression is rather than just having an idea.

I tried a couple group sessions for my depression before and they were good and bad. The good part way the talk among the "patients". There was this guy in there that made me laugh sooo hard with his off the wall jokes. It felt so good to just laugh and laugh and not be able to stop. It was the first time I had that happen for a long long time. The bad was the staff interaction which seemed really stupid sometimes with the exercises they came up with. Some of them read from text books, some lectured and others set up team building projects that made me feel like I was in kindergarten.
