I need help

[abber_dabbers]

I have never been as depressed as I am now. I can't sleep, I can hardly eat. I've lost interest in things I've loved for years. I'm terrified. I just need some kind words, I don't have much positive interaction in my life right now and I could really use it.

Are you seeing a therapist or on any antidepressants?

I've been on this site for a year. I'm doing a lot better than when I started. But even I have bad days. I had a bad morning this morning and I asked for help. My friends responded, so, I understand. I'm still feeling a little antsy, so I understand you there too.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, I promise. I thought there wasn't and I almost gave up. Today I am happily engaged to be married, just a year and a half after nearly dying. So, I know what I'm talking about.

I believe if you stick with life, put one foot in front of the other and keep going, you can walk yourself out from under your problems eventually. I'll tell you what the secret is....

Find something new that lights your fire of interest. I found this site. I started to reach out to others and soon I had a whole family of friends. Read my post this morning and you'll see. If I can do it, you can do it.

Answer some people's pleas for help and reassure them that there's more to life than sickness, disinterest and boredom. Soon, you'll find out that there is yourself! If that's not your cup of tea, find something else.

I have 100% faith that you can rise above this and be happy too. Remember the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step! A thousand miles is a lot of steps, isn't it? Imagine your satisfaction when you reach the other end safe and sound.

AND YOU WILL reach the other end safe and sound. Make today the first step of your new journey. I'll walk along with you for awhile if you want. That's what the support of this site means. And if we become friends, so much the better. Right?

Have a blessed day! JEG 325.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself, I lost both parents a sibling and a grandparent in a span of four years and they were 10 months apart (mother and brother) and 9 months apart (father and grandmother) from 20006-2010. I lost my apartment in 2011 and was homeless and loved with family until i got a place in 2017, since then my girlfriend of 4 years left me and had a baby with another guy, i lost my job, and bills got behind, and i experienced anxiety for the first time this year, I battle everyday, fear of eating, nausea and discomfort and im still fighting to get my bills caught up, but i just got a new job and im still surviving, my faith in God and in myself and this group has helped me realize that overcoming my anxiety and stress doesnt have to be perfect but as long as I try, thats a victory within itself. Everyday I get a little stronger and the anxiety gets less and less. its not all the way gone yet but i recognize the triggers and Im working on making that better too. And because you wrote in this chat today, you proved your a fighter too, and that you are so much stronger than this thing that tries to bind you, we can lean on each other and be the motivation we need to make it. I believe in you and I know you can overcome this. Just breathe and meditate even if you just get by yourself and find something in the room to focus on for like 20 mins, anything to train your mind to do what you want it to do. You got this I know it, Im depending on you just as you can depend on me

I am so sorry you are feeling this way. I have been where you are, I thought my life didn't matter much. One thing that helped me was to reach out to a church in my area and to seek out good counseling. I also know this resource has been helpful to myself and others bit.ly/2mFxWoz. Best wishes!
