death

maybe i should just kill myself

tired of the loneliness of it all

this is a very bad choice at a bad moment in time in your life....your not alone here...we do understand.... many of us have been there and some have tried... and sadly for everyone....we have lost friends.....the ripple effect is beyond belief.....it's not a solution, what you need is a different path and finding something else to give you some hope and direction..... we who suffer with depression all understand where you are at right now....and believe me .... this can get better......

Have you been in therapy, are you on meds, and have you done any group work, what have you been doing so far for your depression.....

prozac not much else and working out

[fauxartist in reply to Hidden]

It's a good possibility that your medication either isn't working or you need a different dosage.....I would also recommend if you haven't been diagnosed to do so, and get with a therapist that understands depression and dealing with it. I'm sorry your going through this....there are literally thousands of people on this site....and that says a lot for how many suffer from this disease.....I'm glad your sharing.....please hang in there, I know the desperation.....but things can change....but we have to do the work to get there....it is worth it.....

Working out - that's great. Do you find it helps keep you trim?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

it brings me a form of stress relief thats why i do it

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

You must be disciplined to work out regularly like that - are you a personal trainer?

If motion and exercise keeps you going then you've cracked it! Do they do fund raising in your area for charity? My daughter in law, does fund raising walks with enthusiasts in the mountainous area where we live. She went on an all night walk round Snowdon. The guide was not clued up and they ended up in bog land in the dark and found the walk took much longer. Last year she did the Moon walk which is 20 miles near London. She did not complete the walk until the early hours of the morning but she helped raise money for breast cancer. Stay positive.

Perhaps you should not.

May the power of words speaking self destruction be nullified & ineffective on bringing any harm whatsoever.

There’s a higher purpose for what’s happening. It’s just a matter of understanding what it is. And, lots of times that’s where being alone doesn’t have to result in loneliness; for, they are different. As one can feel lonely in groups of people they long to belong to. But, loneliness doesn’t have to be a factor when you learn to overcome & use what you’re struggling with to enhance you.

I speak forth a Blessed Abundant LIFE to you & anyone else reading these posts.

Hi sorry you are feeling so bad. Listen to faux as she is talking a load of sense. Like she said many of us have been where you are.

If you are lonely what steps can you take to rectify it? Can you get out and meet more people and make some friends? If you have social anxiety then you can get help for it.

I somehow missed out on how to make friends in my childhood and ended up a very lonely young adult. I had to teach myself how to do it so I watched and studied people - how they behaved and interacted with each other. It took time but I copied what I saw and eventually learnt. Now I couldn't imagine life without friends. x

Ash - what's going on in your life to make you feel life is not worth living?

How long have you been on your medication and have you tried other ones?

[mysmugcat]

Please don t. It's great you work out. Do you have any pets? mysmugcat, my cat gives me some emotional relief.

You were created with purpose and have something to offer to others. Can you think of a time when things were better? Do you have any family member you can talk to? a friend, a church member? Stay connected here. You are important!

Feel the same way all the time it’s not the answer to your problems wish I New something to help but I don’t

How are you today - you are a great guy - we've had problems like you.
