Feeling sad, lonely, somewhat worthless. I hate to have to reach out to other depressed people, not wanting to take any of the energy that they probably need for themselves. But I think we need each other. All of us who are depressed in some way. I don't understand why I feel this way, even though I am seeking help, and have been getting treatment for 4 years.

I wonder how much more effort it is going to take, on my part, to get better. Is that how you overcome depression? Through effort, treatment, and support? I have no clue at this point, and it's hard to think about the future anymore, even though I am still young, and the future could be full of so many possiblities, and so bright. I sometimes feel uncapable of living on my own. Of making a living for myself. I wonder how long this will go on for.
