Hi

[erinn]

No one understands how I’m feeling like. I feel like crap and don’t feel alive.

Would it make you feel better to know that you are wrong? There isn’t one person on the earth who hasn’t felt like crap for reasons small and large, and who hasn’t felt just dead to the world and everyone in it. What you do with those feelings - how you handle it - will determine your own personal outcome. Sometimes it’s annoying to hear someone say in response to what you’ve written, what are YOU going to do about it? But sometimes that is what you need to hear...

I totally agree- everyone has issues, and life can seem like a rollercoaster at times. I also wanted to ask in general: I do not take meds- but what are people's views about doctors who just prescribe meds and do not even talk to people about what is happening in their lives ( talking about depression for instance). Wouldn't it make sense for doctors to just at least talk to people or listen before they hand out meds? I mean after all the brain is connected to the rest of the body, right?

Erinn, have you talked to your doctor about this? Maybe ask him if he/she could recommend a therapist... they DO HELP...even though I didn't use to think so..UNTIL I started talking with one... I really wish you would try this...and just be totally honest and upfront about what bothers you the most about everything and everybody. Wishing you all kinds of good luck, Erinn. Big hug, too.

Yes I’m seeing a counselor now.

Hi!

You’ve got to do the footwork and help yourself feel better. You really have to force yourself to do what you don’t want to do! It’s quite common to feel misunderstood. I feel the same every time I get depressed. It’s true that many people truly don’t understand, and that’s because they’ve never been there. That’s ok! You just need to do what works for you and sit back and enjoy the changes you’re making! I hope that dark cloud begins to lift!
