Waste a life

[Endlessdepression]

It feels like I have wasted half of my life on this bullshit depression, anxiety, SAD, ptsd and whatever comes up next. I hope I don't waste a whole life on this. It never seems to go away. It's a sad thing if it ends that way. It's not that I haven't done things. It's just so consuming.

Loook i understand quite a bit , for me its been 2 months of constant anxiety and previously it was on and off, so i cant really imagine how bad you feel ,,,its tiring and i feel terrible alot of times, have you been getting therapy ...there are also alot of self help techniques, such as exercises and meditation, i know its terrible and these are no magic ..but maybe they can gradually help, im starting to accept my anxiety a bit eventhough its paralysing at times and i feel like dying i try to act like its not there because i know its not harmful , and the human body is much more strong than i ever thought

Just remember it always gets better

Im here in case u want to chat, i have alot more positivity to add just want to helo , know that this is a safe place to talk and express without judgement and u can hopefully find peace

I know how you feel. I felt like all I did was waste my time on worrying and stress and all the junk. I finally decided, "no more", I started doing things I enjoy and totally shutting my mind down on what I enjoy. I started reading or walking and even getting the pictures you color from the hobby store and listening to music. Just shutting my mind off from all the negative thoughts that consumed my mind. Have you thought about going to a support group? or have you thought about going to church? I started going to church, joined women's groups getting together once a week, thank God the groups were small. The women really supported me and prayed for me and we now go out to dinner and do activities together. It has helped, I know life can be unfair and so stressful, you can get through all of this, I am sure you are strong and an over comer. In every life there are certain seasons. The season that will be yours is coming. I can pass along some resources to read if you would like. I will message them to you if you would like. Prayers to you.

The problem is this has been going on for decades now. I've been in and out of the hospital. I do therapy all the time and it does help. I'm just so tired of it. I'm still looking for the magic pill that I perceive people out there ,without my problems , think there is. I say that though experience. The lack of understanding is unbelievable! I don't understand it either. I believe god has a purpose for this. I don't know what it is. The pull up your self by the boot straps doesn't work at all. I have tried many times. All that happened is a trip to the hospital. This last summer, the only peace I could find was sitting in a graveyard. It was ireliy disturbing.

I've struggled with depression, anxiety and PTSD for 33 years. I'm 52 now. It's definitely hard looking back on the years lost. But everything is temporary. I do my best to be a good person and hopefully my life and suffering had some meaning.
