Will it ever end

My depression is so bad. Some friends and family have bailed on me, it hurts. I feel like a loser all the time. Meds and therapy don't seem to help. To understand me better and so I don't have to go into everything again, I guess you could read my journal and my discussions. I'm new here and not sure how to post and stuff, sorry. I just want to get through the night the best I can, which is pretty hard, as always. Also, I just try to get through a day despite living in this hell.

I'm sorry you're feeling so slow and that the meds/therapy aren't helping. Its tough when we are struggling with depression. I haven't read your journal yet, but will do. Is there anything you have done in the past when you've felt like this that helped - i.e. listening to music, taking a bath

I've also had friends and family bail on me. Found that going to group sessions helped.

breath and stretch. Change the energy flowing in your body. Go breath some fresh cool air or take a slow walk...don't go curl into a ball, that makes things worse....hugs.

Went to bed at 1:30 this morning and didn't get out of bed until 2:30 this afternoon.

The more I sleep, the less I get into trouble. I'm always wrong, so it's easier to just sleep.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
