Hi Stacey79, sorry to hear that you're having such a rough time at the moment. I've been where you are now and it's a horrible place to be. How long have you been feeling like this? Are you getting support from any doctors or therapists?

I've had depression for a number of years and I'm on antidepressants...but since Sunday it's been overwhelming the thought of feeling worthless and alone and I can't get out of it I hate myself I messed up a friendship Saturday due to drinking which I rarely do and getting in a state I just destroy everything....I know drinking has made me feel worse I just so fed up x

Yes, alcohol can certainly cause a lot of problems for our mental health and friendships and relationships. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy a drink but I drink a lot less than I used to when I was younger. Any chance that it might be possible to repair this friendship after a "cooling off" period for both of you?

Hang in there. I feel like I'm just holding on but I know that things change, even if slowly. Friends often forgive, and even if not an open exchange about what happened may help you. Hope you can move through the pain.

Well Stacey79 now that you have recognised these negative traits maybe now is the time to cast them aside and replace them with positive traits hey .. By doing so you will find that your life does change.

Sorry you feel the way you do, part of Depression are feeling like yours. The secret is you take hold of the negative and make a positive from it. Sometimes we need to be able to gain experience from errors made. That is part of life.

You do not say that you have been to see your GP, if not I would advise you make that visit as He will be pleased to see you and offer support.

You are not alone in this world, people need to make their own company and move on.

If you are very low and need help now you can talk to SAMARITANS, or phone NHS Helpline, they will be able to help and point you in the right direction.

We ar also here if you need to talk

Thank you for speaking out....I had felt this way for a long time too. You are helping yourself and others....This is a great start on repairing your negativity. Self awareness and honesty is a start to work not to destroy yourself. As friendship usually starts with yourself. You have to be best friend with yourself before you let others in. So you took the first important step. Befriend yourself, be kinder (like everyone has reached out.) to yourself....you are important too. I share my method is....As you feel that one is metaphor for "won". It isn't going to take overnight sometime it is a life work. It varies. Life is a mystery. Be patient!! Do the work!!
