Im not trying to hurt anyone

[Sleeping_beauty]

New to this sight. Just trying to get the perspective of individuals that know / feel what I'm going thru. That it's not in my control, that I don't want to feel this way. I just do... Does anyone feel the way that I do ? That nothing & no one can make this feeling go away ?

Absolutely. It happens. I feel like there’s a disconnect between my mind and soul.....where my mind knows I’m being irrational or over worrying, but it’s not enough to change the feelings.

Tell me about it. I run through my days/nights constantly trying to convince my mind to come to some kind of a happy medium with the rest if me... That would be so sweet ! But years and years go by and here I still am, it's gettin' old. That's all I gotta say. Nice to be able to at least vent here.

Yes, I’ve felt that way. Medications/therapy and still feel like shit, it’s hard to pull yourself out of the dumps. Have you talked to your doctor? I’m not pushing meds, maybe it will be something that can help you.

[Sleeping_beauty in reply to kleelibby]

Honestly, don't talk to anyone about anything. I know that's a huge problem. So, I guess being on the sight talking to y'all now is a step for me so to speak.

Me too, I don’t like to reveal my feelings, I’ve been judged too much. This is a good place to share.

Hi and welcome

It is hard to accept that the feelings without giving in to them. Maybe they are there and not going away but I don’t have to believe them, I don’t have to make them go away, I just have to find a way not to let them rule my life.

Yes it seems to be beyond our control. But what we believe about ourselves is within our control. Sometimes I feel just broken, like garbage, like please someone throw me away and get a new one. But I don’t have to believe that about myself. It’s a feeling not reality.

Feelings are sometimes out of our control. But what we believe in and choose to do with our lives is within our control.

Phil, I get it. And I appreciate the positive words for sure. For some reason it means more to head the things y'all have to say more than anyone else cause I know "we" all know how this really feels. I guess what I've been trying to wrap my head around my whole life is ... Is this just the way it's gonna be forever ? Will there ever be a "cure" for chronic depression ?
