Feeling hopeless

My depression has lasted for so long I'm starting to believe I will never return to normal. I have suicidal ideations all day long but because of my adult child I can't end my suffering. If I did, I know she would suffer tremondously and that would haunt me, I could never rest in peace. I'm just so scared and weak and sad all the time. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I'm sorry you feel so bad. Try to have hope. I know it's hard but things could change. You have come this far, you just keep going.

Thank you very much for your kind and wise words, bonkers65.

What's supposed to be normal anyways??? Certainly not the perfect images and lives glossed over on Facebook and Instagram accounts. They're all bogus!!! It's great that you care so much about your daughter, care about yourself too. Do some nice things for yourself, sometimes if you don't treat yourself, no one else is really going to know what you want or need!!! Escape into a nice bubble bath or something like that.

Thank you very much, Googoodollsfan. Btw, I love the Goo Goo Dolls also and have seen them in concert countless times. 😃

I'm wondering if you've read all the 'Patient Information Leaflets' with your medications. I mention this because there are some medications that have the side effect of thoughts of suicide.

Just thought it might be worth looking into.

God Bless

Thank you, Mary. I usually don't read the leaflets, but I know suicidal ideations are a side effect of alot of the meds I take. God Bless you too, dear.
