I Battle Depression

I’m finding it harder and harder to get out of my depressive periods, and my anxiety has gone through the roof as well. It’s causing me to break out in stress hives all over my face and body. I’m hurting so much, and yet, I have no one to talk to. No one cares about me as much as I care about them. I ultimately feel like a burden and useless. I wish I could just run away and never come back. I’m afraid all people are the same.

I know exactly what you are going through. I have had depression since I was 10 and medication helps but every so often I get these really bad episodes of depression that lasts for weeks at a time and it is hard to function and it is so hard to think positive and to also think so much negative things for example no one caring about you.
in my experience though, that is just the depression making you feel that way and people are out there who care for you very much. I wish I could give you any advice to help but I haven't found anything for me that helps. I guess just to try relaxing and distract yourself the best you can and let it ride it self out.

I hope you feel better really soon 🤗

It sounds like you got on a lot on your mind but I definitely know that feeling as if we are utterly replaceable or at worst, a parasite hogging precious oxygen but that's not true at all and I'm a stranger so it may not mean much, but I am of the belief we all have a purpose and matter a great deal in our own individual ways. The fact you are still here and reaching out to others means you are much stronger than that urge to run away and I hope you can recognize that you have achieved a victory by making it through each day. I don't know if I could help you any honestly, but if you ever want someone to talk to, I'll add you so don't be afraid to shoot a line!

@ChimerIX Thank you. Your words mean more than you realize.

@lequack Hey, it's no problem, you deserve it even if that voice in the back of your head, you know the ugly one we all try to shut out, tries to convince you otherwise. And well I forgot to mention it, but a lot of people are wrapped up in their own struggle and have a hard time talking to anyone about things this visceral and raw. So coming out and talking about it like this helps a lot of us out who can't quite sum up the courage or words to express that feeling, so thank you in turn. For real.
