I know -- it's cause you feel like puke.  When I get to feeling crummy, I feel like doggy doo-doo too. 
Please don't be so hard on yourself. Things aren't that bad. They really aren't. And you're saying -- How the heck does SHE know!!! Cause I've BEEN there. And I was there for a LOT OF YEARS before I got treatment.
You'll have to forgive me cause I have CRS, but are you in therapy? ARe you on meds? If not, it's time. it time to get at LEAST on meds, and it you can't take meds, then get into therapy. This depression is serious, believe me. You just can't live like this. You CAN'T.
God bless & please take care. Hugs, Lee

Well I don't think I am just being hard on myself, I seriously cannot function well enough for a job...and am in the process of applying for SSI. I wish it was just me being too hard on myself but I cannot really deny my symptoms really do interfere with my ability to function.
And not to be a downer, but this society disturbs me...and if by vital part you mean punching bag I could see it, since I grew up as the 'different' person at school that everyone hated and thus directed their bullying towards. It seems the attitudes that contribute to that do not in fact 'go away' after school its the same thing in the adult world to it seems. And I feel things are really that bad.....I mean basically my options are get on SSI or hit the streets I suppose it could be worse.
And I think I am useless because I don't do anything that's any help to anyone, all I do is cause problems with my stupid mental issues....by taking things personally, not getting things, freaking out when my ptsd symptoms get set off its just hopeless.
I have an appointment with a psychiatrist or whatever...but yeah no meds or therapy, I tried prozac and that only made me feel even worse so I think I will steer clear of SSRIs. Thanks though for your imput...sorry if I seem like I am arguing with it or being stubborn or whatever, just not feeling very optimistic.
