looking for hope

[dbwoy]

I am feeling pretty hopeless. like nothing is never going to get better. like I am never going to be happy. I was wondering what gives people hope. why don't I feel like that anymore?

Depression is a cruel disorder that takes away hope. You are having symptoms. There are probably many things that would bring you happienss and hope if depression wasn't playing with your thoughts and emotions. Depression distorts reality.

Everyone deserves to be happy. Please reach out for help in your community. There is always a crisis line you can call that will put you in touch with treatment you can afford. You can feel better. You do not have to feel hopeless forever. There is help out there. There are also many people here who understand what you're going through.

I wish you good things, my friend, and that the fog of depression will lift soon so you can find the happiness you deserve.

I get a lot of hope here actually.....sharing my feelings of what I'm going through and then kind, caring responses. reading what others have posted and all the comments and sharing others have given helps me. Therapy helped me tremendously once I found the right fit for me, and I do take antidepressants....again had to do some trial and error till I found the right meds and right dosage.
