No no, it wasn't pointless. I do this all the time. I used to hate it when I would talk to my mom, and she would just sort of blow my feelings off. It felt like my world was ending, and she was telling me that it was no big deal.

It's like people downplay your feelings. Another phrase I hate is "there are other fish in the sea". Okay, I realize that you are only trying to help me...but you must realize that I don't want any other fish. I don't care how many of them are there, I only want that one.

I do all the time!! I don't know what you're feeling sorry for yourself about...But.."Eh, you're alright. You'll be okay!" Sorry, I had to try something to get at least a giggle out of someone! But seriously, I do know what you mean and after a while of people saying the same things over and over and it never really feeling true, it gets old very fast.

yeah, i feel like a mojority of the people in my life do that to me lol, it sucks, cause certain things i know wont be alright, and they just tell me it will be anyway, and never appologize for posting anuything, evrything you feel should be able to be shared, its not pointless

Yea I told my aunt once about me feeling down and how I had to leave college for it and she was like we all have bad days...........grrr it isn't a freaking bad day, if only it was.

thank you everyone. i just don't understand myself right now. i am sinking into the pit again and its scary. i am almost ready to send myself away to the funny farm. i want to be able to do this on my own, but i really don't know if i can. these feelings have been going on forever but i've never been in a harder situation than now...
i also feel bad that the happy people surrounding me aren't helping me but making me feel worse. they are not trying to, i'm just letting it happen. i feel so pathetic, AARRGGH!

when you say you wanna do this on your own, what exactly do you mean?

Well, I've tried counseling and medication in the past, with minimal effect. Now that I have a son, I kind of don't have the time or financial means to do the counseling again. and i am breastfeeding so i haven't wanted to try medication...but i kind of feel like it's exactly what i need or the only thing that is gonna make a change in me. I would love to be able to pull myself out of it by my own will and work at what i need to in order to change, but it hasn't been progressing like it should....i'm so lost

Oh god i understand that, iv tried that whole doing it myself thing so i give up the pills and think for the first few days im fine....then as soon as it comes out my system im fucked up again and realise i do need them. my pack finished when he was away at military training, so i didnt bother getting more, now he is back i know i need to go to the doctor and get another prescription.

u should take them hunni....they will help at least a little.
