Hello friend how did you mess up ? It’s ok to make mistakes or mess things up we are not 100 percent perfect that’s what makes us human . Your not alone lots if hugs and support to you ❤️🫂

Hello there, thank you for the well wishes. I am in my late 50s and have no job currently due to my depressions , i am not very independent either and now I am fearful of being alone and can’t take care of myself. My bf is a good bit older than me and I realized I depended to much on him. He does not understand my depressions and just thinks I need to busy myself with other things which right now I can’t do. I feel very hopeless

I too am alone and feel unloved. I am a recluse now, but I am slowly finding myself. I am trying to fix my mistakes or what I mean is I am trying to change. I hope you try to find something to make your time go easier and try to find something to hope in....an investment kind of, but an emotional one.

Thank you and good luck to you as well. I hope be both find a good solution that will end up in a positive direction.

I sometimes feel like that too. Then things take an upturn, sometimes unexpectedly,

Your post could be my post and probably many people here. Depression distorts your thinking. Everything is hard right now .

NAMI has support groups. IOP can be helpful.

Invest in you. Meds, therapy, eating well, sleeping, and exercise seem like the standard. The past doesn't dictate your future.

Hi, so sorry you are feeling so rotten. This is the depression talking and not the truth. Start simple with a little positive thought about you. It is so very hard but necessary to counter that depression chatter with self love. It sounds you see somethings about yourself you think could change. They will not happen over night and it is really hard to change when in the height of a depressive episode but maybe you could pick one small thing you could do that moves in the direction you sound like you want to go. You are capable and stronger than your disease. I wish you a break from your feelings of hopelessness and some love and hopefulness . Simple and small steps moves us in the direction we want to go too!

i know exactly your feelings. i have been there but i am slowly getting better. hold onto yourself. stop and just breathe. it sounds simple or dumb but it works. just focus, breathe in, breathe out. 5 minutes at a a time. i know the loneliness too. i attend a weekly every tuesday zoom support group that its thru NAMI. if you are interested i can send you the link. im here if you need to talk. tim

People have related and given you good advice. Proper sleep, exercise, meals, and positive thoughts. Try the Wim Hof guided breathing exercises free on you tube. And after your shower rinse in cool water. The cooler the better. And know you will see better times again.

Hi DanceLady. I know you are in excruciating pain. My heart is with you. I've been there and come out of it, just so you know it is possible. In my toolbox, I have meds (yes, finding the right one takes time and can be disheartening, but you can get there), psychologist, online groups like here, community organization in my city that offer different services (online support groups, depression management workshops), ACT Therapy which I do on my own (positivepsychology.com/act-..., healthline.com/health/menta..., and definitely suicide hotlines like the one like the one Shnookie proposed 800-273-8255.

Coming here was already a courageous step. Keep coming back.
