Worthless

I feel like such a failure today. Completely worthless. Just a waste. I don't know why I just keep going... The world would still keep going and I would just be a small bump to be ignored. Being sad is not even enough. I can't do anything right. I should just quit but then I get yelled at for that. I get yelled at if I try... what is the point....

I get you. I've been having bad day after bad day where it seems everything I do ends up being wrong, whether its at home or at work or in between. Its draining and disheartening. But I also remember I've had periods like this before and better days are ahead. So I trudge on...

Ninja, are these people yelling at you aware of your depression? With depression, most relapses occur within the circle of poor relationships (such as family, close friends, and work or school associates). Tell your family, friends, and co-workers that you are going to need their support. Ask them not to yell at you when you are in a dark place.

Meanwhile, change your environment by getting rid of all negative things in your personal space. Think about what has worked for you before and stick with it. Try to distract yourself from urges to come down on yourself. Set a "quit date" or reference a special day in the future and rid of all the junk and misfortune you've internalized for far too long. This a critical time for you to choose to stop the madness in your life. Take advantage of it. Then and then only will you be able to stop being a passenger in life and start driving for what's in your own best interest and happiness. Please don't let others' aggressive behavior define who you really are or what you strive to be at best in life.

If all else falls in, and you are not showing signs of emotional growth and improvement, then see (if you are not yet seeking) a professional, talk to your doctor or other health care providers, and find useful ways to lower your stress level.

Best always.

The point is to not care my friend. Life does go on with or without you. But you won't be in it anymore if you just end things. Of course you do many things right. DOn't tell yourself stories that you know are not true. You are alive my friend and as you can tell there sure are people that know what you are going through and care. Remiah makes some great suggestions. Give it a try and be good to yourself. I bet you deserve it. Also watch this video. It'll hopefully open your eyes a bit more. Stay strong. If you want someone to chat with shoot me a private message and Ill give you my phone number.
