will never be ok

[RcKitty]

I don't know I think at this p oint after battling depression and anxiety for so many years I have a feeling I am not going to make it. even very successful, famous people have not been able to overcome this disease, like chester bennington ( I related so much to his music) and robin Williams. what makes me think I can. its just neverending sadness and despair every sngle second of every day and its exhausting ... and for me nothing is helping and I feel like its just not going to worl out for me as some people try their hardest but don't make it.

I feel like giving up...

I feel you. It’s so awful and emotional torture however do not lose hope! Focus on people who did overcome depression and are doing good not those poor souls that just couldn’t go on. Look to others in thIs group that are over coming. I’m still fighting to get better and many days I want to give up however I can’t. Take it one moment by moment. I know it feels like hell on earth but millions of people are afflicted with these illness and the majority make it to the other side. You are important and loved. Express yourself on here so we can encourage you! Your life matters!

Robin Williams had a form of Parkinson’s that can cause psychosis.

Don't give up I know how you feel, i wonder if it will always be this way to, I'm tired of all of it. Go to a good therapist, maybe try antideprsant. Otherwise Meditation it helps the mind.

You're right - depression at its worst is living hell. It probably can't be cured, but it CAN be controlled. Many, many people have done it and are doing it right now. They are living full, productive, happy lives, and you can too!

Please don't give up.
