Hopelessness

[Skjones]

I was fine u till a couple of hours ago then I just got down like real down. I feel like I don't want to live any more I'm not suicidal but it feels like everything's going against me. Like everyone is out to get me make me suffer I feel like a piece of garbage. My wife will not understand she will just tell me to get over it and move on same with my parents I don't know what to do I'm shaking g and want to cry.

Hey dont beat yourself down.. my seperated husband never understood me so I literally had to fish myself out of the funk I was in so many times (thats why were separating:(..

quite few times I was wanting to no longer be here ..I have to cry but also talking and saying how you feel praying helped me ..

I understand how you feel, I have been there recently. Please don’t give up. We are all here on Earth for a reason. Try to focus on positive things, good things, good friends, things that make you happy or bring you joy. Get some fresh air and exercise, eat healthy, talk to a trusted friend. Also pray to Heavenly Father for help, he wants to hear from you. Read scriptures. Get a hug.

Take care

Hi There....I empathise...I got a job last week for the first time in years and I honestly thought I could do it but just this morning I have told them I won't be coming back....everything, even the most simple things seem overwhelming and I have literally just sent the email and now I am sat here waiting for the backlash. I have wasted peoples time and let people down...as well as myself. Look, the fact is that the people around us are sometimes the very people who understand us the least....but you have understanding friends on here...I hope I find someone on here to give me some solace (!) as I feel VERY low right now....don't give up...get outside even if it standing outside your house for a minute, take some deep breaths and know that you are important.

Sometimes we just have to take time to heal .

Would you please force yourself to try what helps me? I start every morning with the Wim Hof guided breathing exercises free on you tube. Best done laying down empty stomach. But you can do them before meals sitting up if you need to. The beginner 3 round. They will be a bit hard at first, but get easier and worth it. They are relaxing, meditation, during the breath hold, and powerful when done. Get 40 minutes of exercise daily. Break it up do things you like. And after your shower rinse in cool water. Believe it or not I have not missed a day in 4-1/2 months. When I’m done with the cold water.. I feel my best. I have a swimming pool and I started in September at 74 degrees and kept going in while it got colder. Until a month ago it was 42 degrees! And now it’s 48 and I don’t know what I’m going to do when it gets too warm. Google cold shower therapy for mental health.

Hey Dave...good advice about the breathing...I am not lucky enough to have a pool but I do read good things about swimming in cold water and mental health....anyway thank you so much for responding...just having somebody get in touch is a boost today...!!

You have a shower or bathtub and cold water. Cool to start and lower temperature 2 degrees per week. 74 to start 10 minutes

Good point well made ! Had a cold shower this morning for as long as I could and I have to say it has made me feel a bit better and dare I say a little motivated ! I am very envious that you have a pool....I live in Britain and they are few and far between - we have enough water with our inconsistent weather ! Thanks Dave and to others....give it a try !

[Daveacr1959 in reply to fieryangel]

You have year round cold water. I have to make my own 5 months a year. You tube wild swimming and watch the people from where you live.

It’s difficult for people who have never experienced depression to understand what you are going through. It’s best to talk to your doctor and see if medication can help. If you are already taking medication it may be time to switch it up and try something else. Just don’t have expectations that your wife can help. Do whatever you can to help yourself. You are worth it!
