Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?
I feel like theres no point in trying anymore, i'm a disappointment and a waste of oxygen.
@Portalkitty NO, that's a lie playing in your head!! You're fearfully and wonderfully made!!! :)
I feel like happiness will never come to me. I don't want to be home, but I don't want to go anywhere. I feel like everyone has abandoned me because they don't understand what I'm going through, the demons that I'm fighting for control of my body and mind. I feel like nobody would care if I was gone and that I'm just not meant to be here anymore. All I do is cry and sit in a dark room while my kids enjoy playing outside and I can't enjoy it with them.
@Clackdj I understand those feelings and what you're fighting!!! You're not alone! You have SO much worth. Keep fighting!!!! Keep fighting!! And then keep fighting some more!!!! I don't know you, but I cry in that same darkness. Tomorrow can be different! Did I already say, keep fighting!??? :)
@KLM3278
Thank you so much! I have days where fighting is easy to do, but about 98% of those days I jist give up. I end up crying everynight, I don't sleep very well because my anxiety on top of the depression makes it impossible to stop thinking about everything. I really appreciate your words of encouragement and will continue to fight and do what I can to try and help others that are in need.
@Clackdj That's good!! I struggle with anxiety to!! To help, I've cut back on coffee, go to the gym, try to eat healthy, pray, breathe, drink tea, warm baths, use a sound machine at night, a blanket, and hug a teddy bear, and sleep with a light on. What do you try?? What helps you??? Glad you're fighting!!!!!! We can beat this...even if it's one day at a time!!! :)
I feel like I don't have a place, that I am replaceable, forgettable and hard to love. I just want to disappear
@Haro36 Please don't believe those lies!! Do you have I-Tunes?? Check out a song called "Place in this world" by Micheal W Smith. Don't disappear! I think that you have a lot of worth!!!! :)
I feel like im not good enough anymore , if I was taken off this earth right now no one would notice
@Pauldrika I don't know you, but I think we often don't realize how our lives touch so many others. Keep fighting!!! You're not alone!!!! You are loved! :)
I feel like im not from this planet and im home sick. Im not a part of the human race. I cant communicate with the creatures on this planet because I don't speak their language.
Really i just dont see the piont of trying anymore. There isnt anything i want to have, do, or anyone i want to be around. I feel like breathing is pointless. Im upset that i dont care and try to not fall in that mindset that everyone would be better off if i wasnt here but the only argument I have against that is that no one will be better off or worse because no one really cares. I feel the longer i fight through this the more people ill take down with me when i lose all control.
@miashue You're so honest! That's amazing! I think I get what you mean. I feel better around dogs than I do people. But I know it's important to fight and remember things can change and get better. Down days stink!! They turn into weeks, months, and years. BUT...there is hope!!! You would be missed. Even not "speaking the language" doesn't mean you don't speak it here!!! And I bet other places to!!!! Stay strong and lean into your honesty!!!! That's courage! You're loved!!! :)
I feel stressed, anxious, and left out. I feel like no one loves me anymore.
@VictoriaVictoria I feel this everyday! It's not fair. I don't get it either. But I think anxiety is a sign from our body. It's saying pay attention to me!! I battle this to. Thankful for my counselor for sure!!! I hope you can be calm tonight! Hug a teddy bear, take calming deep breaths, and say some gentle prayers. You're not alone!!! Keep fighting!! You're loved!!!!! :)
This is bad night for me for sure....but I know in the deepest part of me, that's all it is. A bad night! I'm gonna take a warm bath, drink tea, pray, hug my teddy bear, and fight! I'm stronger than I even realize!! I think we all are!!!
@KLM3278
I hope so. You seem so nice.
It's funny how we can help or try to help others.
I feel very alone and I feel the pain of people who post here.
Just wanto say to him. ;)
Alive. OK but really not ok.
Sorry. Just feel alone.
I feel that I'll never move on from my old relationship that ended over a year ago. I always feel inadequate ever since I lost that special someone or friend. I feel that I'll never be good enough to love another person again, I feel that I should give up on being with someone. I feel that I've lost the ability and faith that I can carry on with life.
@Impulsive that's also the same reason why I'm here. I haven't recovered yet but I'm a work in progress. I've been doing a lot of random things recently just to get my mind busy on other stuff. Yesterday, I had a long work after work. Glance at random people outside. Then, fancied myself with a full course meal on a special japanese restaurant. That somehow helped me loosen up. Also, talking from someone here will make you feel better.
Today I want give up...I am so tired. I would like to write beautiful things but I can't...I can't see good things around me...Nobody understand me
@generousPenny4828 the feeling is terrible. But just so you know, you're not alone. Do random things. Do something different. Just recently, I managed to dig in an old book. I've been doing some clip reading. It somehow helped. Try "Wisdom of Buddha" . It's not a suggestion for some religous matters. Just read to make you feel light and gain some positivity. You can also do some cooking. I heard Eggplant Lasagna is good.
