I Battle Depression

I am an average late 40's man. Everyone thinks I am funny and laid back. I have accomplished many things in my life that people admire. Or so I am told often. I am well educated. Financially I am ok. I have a family that loves me and friends that I have been super close with my whole life.

But behind my smile and jokes.. I simply want to die. Tonight, it has come upon me strongly. I know not from where. I am exhausted and very tired. I am broken inside. I feel no joy, only sadness, despair. I am desperately lonely in spite of people all around who love me. No one will ever understand.

Unfortunately no they won't but I'm sure if you tell at least one of them what's going on it will be better. Funny enough the best way to get rid of sadness is too embrace it. It's alright to fell sad. Just don't die. Best of luck to you. I really mean that.
