I am having a rough day. I feel angry and depressed and guilty. I shouldn't feel guilty about feeling depressed but I do becaise I think it affects my kids. They are young and dont understand and my husband doesn't understand. I think he tries but he doesn't know how. I just keep thinking thatnif I can get through today it will get better. It has too right? Nothing happened today. Actually that's not true I felt great this morning and worked out and cleaned, then took a shower, now I feel the weight of the depression on me. :/ I just took my meds, hopefully they will kick in and help me. I keep having suicidal thoughts that the kids would be better off without me. Why do I struggle? Why does mental illness hurt so much.

I'm tired today as often. Depression says horrible things to us. Sorry for my short responses you will likely get more detailed ones.

Been a rough day for me too. Depression and anxiety tell you a lot of things that simply aren't true. I had a wonderful day yesterday and then I woke up at like 6 or a little before after only sleeping about 2 hours having an anxiety attack. It just set the tone for the whole day. I've pretty much been in bed all day except to do some dishes. I hate anxiety and depression for ruining good times and making bad times even worse. I'm sorry you are having a rough day. Your kids would never be better off without you.

I'm sorry ...battled this beast for years. Had been meds free for 4 years. And in 2 months my life has turned upside down. Father in law died watched my hub try to save him, breast cancer scare and a car wreck 3 weeks ago. I'm going to pieces again.

You can do this! We can do this! We are stronger than this mess.

Being a survivor of my childhood and abuse

The years of pain and alcohol

I sobered up got on meds and went through therapy. I did so well I was able to stop the meds and I couldn't have been happier

I became a volunteer FF got married to an amazing woman and life came all crashing down a few years later when I got hurt being a firefighter

Almost 4 years since then I'm still fighting my mind and body every day. I have to get up to support my family but I don't want to get up I want it all to end I'm in chronic pain with anxiety and depression my meds only take the edge off

I know my family couldn't go on without me so I keep on pushing
