Extreme sadness
For the past week or so, I've battled with depression once again. I can't share my feelings with family because of negative judgement, and most couldn't care less. Maybe if they loved and cared about me....I wouldn't feel so isolated. This coming week, I'm planning to get some counseling or therapy....not sure how much longer I can go on like this. It hurts so much.

I\'m sorry that things have been so hard for you. I\'m in the midst of a depressive state right now. Life is what it is. Bad things do happen to good people and families don\'t always provide the support that we want or need. I see a psychiatrist once a month rather than dealing with a psychologist... I like her a lot better. She knows me and I can be open and honest with her.
I\'ve found that if you find a person that you are able to be open with the days aren\'t as hard.
Hugs, Love & Rainbows!!!

Hey sweetie! We\'re here for you! We\'ve all been in that dark place and know how it pulls you down. It\'s hard to pull yourself back out once you start sliding. We can\'t rely on family to lend us a hand up. They\'re often part of the reason we\'re depressed in the first place. You\'re doing the right thing reaching out to your friends here, and I hope you do get to a counsellor or therapist as well. Most of all, you need to realize what a wonderful person you are, and how much you give to others. You need to see yourself as worthy of happiness and love.
Have you hear the song that goes like this?
\"How could anyone ever tell you
That you\'re anything less than beautiful?
How could anyone ever tell you
That you\'re less than whole?
How could anyone fail to notice
That your being is a miracle?
How deeply you\'re connected to my soul.\"
It\'s for you, Sabrina!
Lots of love,
Ani
The best thing for you to do is to follow your own directions and get into therapy. Depression can get an entrapping hold on you...I\'ve been there and am going through it right now. Let\'s both fight back at that monster and climb out of this dark hole. We can do it!!! You better keep in touch and let me know what\'s happening.
Hey Sabrina, I had to go to a lot of counseling in my life, and need it now but cannot afford it. imagine that!!!! . Yeah, we have to struggle to get through it, I hope you find some clarity, peace, and serenity. soon. I have been in a family just immediate, that is somewhat non-humanizing emotions, people. They are not really sincere like my mom was before she died I had her new sunshine everyday with her. I need to remember Her..laughter in the rain...
take gentle care,
Hugs, Gizzzzy
