Life in Limbo

I'm finding it very difficult to stay positive. I used to think I'd feel ok if I had a decent job, did the things productive members of society do... But I am still very depressed. The things that used to bring me Not don't anymore. I am lost. And sinking. I've always been a fighter - keep trying, but I just don't care about anything anymore

I felt like that at the beginning of summer. I’m starting to feel better about things and believe in myself again. You’re at a low point unfortunately. But I do believe you can come out of it. How long have you been feeling this way?

we do sometimes slip into a limbo and kind of Grey area of purgatory...no up or down...just somewhere in the middle....and sometimes we do bottom out. It's always a challenge and we seem to always be trying to find the one 'thing' that will make us better....but the reality is.... we have to learn how to live with the whole thing...the ups and the downs...life in general is messy.... no smooth sailing all the time.... lots of storms to weather through...and this is probably just another one that you will find a way.... it sucks.... big time.... but you have a lot of support here.your not alone with this..we do understand what this disease is.... I'm glad your sharing.

I know how you feel. It is tough to keep going when you feel like you can never be truly happy, but I am sure there are lots of people out their that love and care about you. Although a big part of me feels unlovable, deep down, I know that there are people in my life who do love and care for me and if anything happened to me it would hurt them deeply. That is what I use to keep myself pressing on.

I am trying to get a job and be a productive member of society after overcoming agoraphobia. It’s slow going. I am in therapy and waiting to join a supportive work program. I am debating just giving up and just accept my life for what it is.

Use the coping skills that work for you on a consistent basis even if you don't feel like it. I find that using my five senses in the present moment can be very helpful. I hope that you can keep fighting the negative thoughts.
