I feel like I don't want to go on

Like, I wish I could just die, too
I have never felt more alone in my life.
I can just imagine the responses:
"you don't mean that",
"don't say that" or worse yet
" you gotta move on"
Just how does one move on? Because someone tells you to?
I do know what I mean- it's just taboo to say it out loud.
If I don't express these thoughts it won't make the thoughts go away, they'll still crash over me like waves of insanity.
I'm depressed -I just want to sleep and not wake up.
But, yet I am not suicidal...
I just don't know how to move on
I don't know how to want to live

I want to be able to express these thoughts and be understood and not be scolded.
I don't want stupid pat answers or those lacking in understanding or empathy.
I don't want a lecture or verbal tripe disguised as advice.
I don't know exactly what I want ,but I know I don't want the above.
Empathy, understanding from someone who has gone through this and found a way- maybe ?
Or even someone who's going through it now and understands what I'm feeling? Perhaps.

All we can do is show our support. I can't possibly grasp what you must be going through right now but I can tell you that I care. Which brings us back to those support groups of people who are going through it as well.

I was in your exact shoes not that long ago.
I laid in bed thinking this same stuff for three years straight.
Then to boot I had this crazy crushing anxiety.

You want to know the easy way to move on?
Tell your doctor, not a shrink, about this.
He will give you pills designed to make you happy again.
Chances are you will just need that little boost for a few months and then back to normal.

There is no shame in getting help.
I know there is a huge stigma about mental health and blah blah blah.
But it only will bother you until you feel the relief.

Good luck.

@Dainbramadge I do appreciate your concern I don't take pills.
I had a very bad few years of depression where I did take medicine it was the only time I made a suicide plan and I will never take medications for mental reasons again.
I'm not saying they don't help some people they're just not for me.

Ms Rae, please we understand you are struggling but you are very much loved on SW plus you have children and grandkids and they love you more than anything in the world

@SW-User I know they do, but sometimes it's hard to want to stick around, I'm not suicidal; I'm not going to do anything to myself.
I really do appreciate your kind words and concern.

I go through it myself so I can relate and understand deeply. You are definitely not alone🫂

Therapy is always helpful even if you aren’t in a depressive state.

Oh I definitely believe you mean it. Your whole life just ended. He is gone and won't be coming back. At least you have your son, daughter and grandkids. There are not words to describe how bad we feel for you. 💔😢😢😢
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Musicman I do try to remember that and I appreciate your kind words
