I Battle Depression

Everything just crashed down on my pathetic existence. My life sucks. My job sucks. My country sucks. I'm so sick of scraping through life while the affluent remind me of how poor and insignificant I am. I wish my life would just end already. I am a total failure and I don't fit in anywhere.

My friend, find some people any people. Tell them your story. In real life. Not on the internet. A church. Any church. Neighbors. A convenience store. Tell a real life human what you feel. In person.

Thanks but I talked to a bunch of people, pastors, therapists... I've been on antidepressants since 2001. I think my friends were put off by it... Its just a twisted, ugly mess. I don't know why I even brought it up here. But thanks, I appreciate it.

@Scottrayne: you need no people. Also whoever is prescribing meds should be qualified and meds should be updated. If you are getting them from a family doc you should go to a psychiatrist it would make a world of difference. Constant adjustment based on new information is crucial. You can be happy my friend believe it!
