Depression really puts a damper on life.

At the rate things are going with my life, I’m going to die a bitter old woman due to not finding her happiness in her career and personal life, with no family around her, and no penny to her name. It’s a really upsetting reality I’m facing, and I don’t know how to turn it around.

Depression is real. I don't care what anyone says or tries to categorize it as. it's a real thing, and those of us that deal with it, deal with it differently. it's frustrating as hell and some days the worst feeling in the world because it's like both your body and mind shut down. your spirit is still alive but you're a "disabled machine" that can't function. I just wanted you to know that you're not alone. it's a pain the ass. I fear the same loneliness. even with a daughter.

getting on the road was hard. but realizing how long it is, just to see a mile marker? I've got a long way to go. but thank you. even with failed therapists and support groups. I'll get there. *smiles and walks off*.
