Does it ever end?

Hi! I am new here. I have have been suffering from depression for as long as I can remember. It has been years. It comes in waves and every time I think that I am doing better, it just comes back and it becomes more and more difficult to be alive and to pretend that I am okay and that I can do this. Sometimes I think that if I keep myself busy enough, I wont feel so sad and empty and numb. If I am distracted enough, it will all go away...but I don't have the will to do anything. I just want to stay in bed and stare at the ceiling. I don't mean to put anyone down with how I feel but I just really want to know if it ever ends. Does is ever go away? I have been battling with this for all these years and I don't know how much more I can take. I want it to stop.

hi keep pushing through it will get better never give up hope.set yourself little achievable goals give yourself credit for them and as time goes on build up your goals.learning to live with it rather than fighting it is a better way to manage things.keep talking joint a group with people in a similar position other folks ideas bouncing off each other helps no end.

Hi- Welcome the forum.

I’m sorry to hear about your depression. Depression is treatable with therapy and medications. I hope you can update your doctor about your symptoms and help you to feel better. Please keep going and try not to give up. I hope you will stay in the forum and you will be encouraged by the responses here.

I pray for peace and strength you need each day. Take care and God bless.
