I Fight Depression and Loneliness Everyday

Some people that dont suffer from mental illness seem to think a pill solves the issue. I constantly fight my illnesses and feel so alone to where it hurts physically. I cry often. But I wear a mask in front of others because of the times I have let it slip it scares them.

It's scary dealing with it alone,especially when your so broke you cant afford to renew your prescriptions, let alone to buy food, but what lurks around the corner is not of hope and sunshine, I often wonder what life must be like to be normal, I struggle each day not to give up and end my pain for good, but that string I hold unto is getting smaller and smaller where I cant feel it no more.

@Tugasaki so do I . My son is why I stay. I know it would devastate him. I look in the mirror and think how would it be to feel all happy go lucky? To look like a normal person? To just be quiet in my head.
