Depression worse

[Lizcobain]

I am 36 years old and have fought with depression most of my life. The last couple of months I have been at my all time lowest. There should be no reason. But no one seems to understand I can't help this feeling of total hopelessness. I feel so completely alone most of the time.

I’m feeling the exact same way. You may feel alone but you are not the only one experiencing what you’re feeling.

Message me any time about anything 🤗 hugs

Thanks. It does help to know someone understands me. I feel like I'm just existing. No real purpose. Idk how to make it stop. That's all I want

[jesca18 in reply to Lizcobain]

I say that all the time! I feel like I’m not living. I am so jealous of people that know what they want to do bc I too have still not found my purpose.

[Lizcobain in reply to jesca18]

I wonder how ppl can so easily just be happy. I envy that

[jesca18 in reply to Lizcobain]

Most people are probably just better at faking it than we are.

Well it’s nice to have someone to talk to. I feel like I bother the few friends I have too much. They’re all so busy with their own lives.

[Lizcobain in reply to jesca18]

Yes! That's exactly how I feel. I feel I am just an annoyance to anyone in my life when I try to talk about it.

I feel the same way and I can’t talk to anyone because they don’t get it and then just stay away from me.

I know what you mean. It's hard to find someone who understands

Our society does tend to isolate people who are feeling down because they don't want to hear anything negative etc...I was wondering if you are taking any meds? Sometimes they can stop working and you have to change your dosage. I know from experience that when you find yourself in the pit it can be hard to get out of it, but for me my faith is what has really helped. I know that even when I don't feel like it that I do have a hope and a future. Sometimes I've had to force myself to go out and find something that I remember enjoying. I like to listen to positive music and messages from my church. I always make sure to talk to a counselor when I need to.
