Hopeless

I am very depressed. I don’t see the point in going on. I’m supposed to stick around because of my kids but they don’t respect me so I don’t see how it’s worth it to go on.

catjnr, looking back at your posts of 4 months ago, I don't see you going forward with your depression. It needs to be addressed. Medication and therapy are all well and good but when depression takes such a hold on your way of thinking clearly, it's time for intervention. It may mean hospitalization or even ECT therapy. Something had to have happened to you that put you into this spiral. Unless it's addressed and taken care of, you will continue feeling hopeless and lost.

I didn't see you mention you had children before tonight. What are their ages when you say they don't respect you? Who would take care of them if you left? Do you really think the answer is not going on? It's the easy answer for you and the difficult and heartbreaking one for your family. Talk to the forum more. You aren't alone in feeling so over whelmed in having to do everything by yourself. There are many others on the forum in the same position. Please reach out. xx
