I often wonder ...

What is it about me that I'm not worth sticking around for , what is it about me that doesn't make me enough , what is it about me that ppl want to give up on me... 😣💔

Hi Kay, I'm sorry for what you're going through. I had those same thoughts most of my life. I had many failed relationships, my family didn't even want me (the main cause of my depression). I never felt good enough and gave up caring what happened to me. I made bad, self-destructive choices, especially in relationships. I finally realized that it wasn't all me, it was them. They couldn't, or wouldn't, understand depression and couldn't handle it. I was very fortunate to have turned things around, with the help I finally sought. I'm still a work in progress, and those thoughts still creep in sometimes. I'm now in a relationship that's good for me with a good man who understands what I feel and go through with my depression. He suffers from it as well so we support and help each other.

You are good enough, you are worth it and it's their loss for not sticking around. You deserve to be happy, to be with someone who appreciates you for who you are. Someone who will support you and be there for you. Just don't give up on yourself...

Hi, I agree with Lolly56, it is not us, most of the time it is them and their expectations. Be true to yourself and value yourself. I am glad you are in a sound relationship, that will be good for both of you.

Unfortunately, depression is still not understood by the general public, so there is a stigma associated with it, thankfully things are improving as is treatment. I have a wonderful therapist who has taught me about my illness, which makes it easier for me to live with. I also have a wonderful Dr. who helps me with my med's. Stay true to yourself, you are a valuable, special person, as is your partner. I send you strength, peace, love & Big hugs.....Sprinkle 1......
