I Battle Depression

It's been a while since I've felt quite this bad. And when I say a while I mean years.

You know that feeling where you feel completely worthless? Where you're convinced that the world is better off without you in it? That if you disappeared tomorrow the only people to look for you would be the bank when your mortgage payment doesn't go through? That feeling where just getting out of bed takes up the energy that is meant to last you the entire day? That feeling where the fact that it's bin day and you have to take it out makes you cry? THAT is where I am at the moment!

I've felt myself slipping for a little while now and usually I'm strong enough to stave off the onslaught but this time I is different, this time the missing and longing for lost love adds to the sadness and despair and has allowed the darkness to firmly grip me.

I feel tired, alone, worn out and completely, completely worthless. Surplus to absolutely all requirements.

I know this feeling well, and I didn't take the bin out last night.

The lost love...yes, that's a big one. I'm sorry. I wish I could make it better, for all who fall into the black hole of despair.

Hugs, peace and love.

I hope you are not trying to fight this on your own. Please talk to a health professional, or a friend. Depression is a real disease, in the same way something like heart disease is - and can be helped with medication. There is no shame in needing such medication. And if you are already on something, then insist on having it changed, until you find what is right for you. Life does not have to be like this.
I wish you nothing but the best. If you want/need to talk more please message me. I'm a good listener.

I'm so sorry... I do know that feeling. I hope you're hanging in there... It will pass, but the journey is a rough one. I'm happy to listen if you need a shoulder. Hugs :)

I have felt that way. In fact it was fairly recently. All I can say is this. If you don't have a good doctor, get one. If you can't afford a doctor, go to the mental health clinic at your local hospital. Everyone sees a doctor on a sliding scale. Get on medication. Not all meds work for everyone. This takes time. But finding the right combination is so important to you. I bet your at your best at night. Right? Live your day for the nights. Do simple things and leave the complicated things to others.

With this advise although free, will help you. Good luck.
