I've fallen into a deep depression again and cant get out, I was doing good for a few months, happier than i am now anyways, but its gotten to the point where i am having suicidal thoughts again. I swear my emotions are always fighting up, down, all around... I no intention on acting them but its exhausting. Living this way on a daily basis. I am always putting up a front for people, few people know i have issues, most believe i am some happy, giggly goofball... I dont know what to think anymore... the few friends i have talked to tell me i should get help. I havent bothered trying to tell my mother. I just dont know.

Im worried im going to lose my job if i see behavioral health but i think i may have hit the breaking point this morning. I woke up from a nightmare balling my eyes out and full of terror. I dreamed i thought i had my best friend had died, by suicide. I was terribly upset and then at the very end i found out she was alive and i woke up. It was enough to throw my whole day. I think this dream was a way for me to see what i'll do to my best friend if i ever lose my battle to depression...just thinking about it makes me want to cry... I've talked to a couple of helplines they all tell me the same thing. I just dont know, im scared i guess... Can anybody relate to this emotional struggle? or give me any advice?
MikeDelta,

I normally post ridiculous responses on these threads, but I can feel the earnest fear and confusion behind your words and will not make light in my response to you.

I have always relied on my stomach to tell me what my mind sometimes fails to say. After reading your concerns, my gut feels honest worry for you.

I believe that you have the true definition of depression. A feeling of helplessness that is not the effect of outer influences, but instead its source manifests from within, causing what may normally be considered simple human conflicts to pile upon your already strained emotions.

Your worries about your employment should hold far less importance than your worry that you have finally "hit the breaking point."

Normally, I suppose I would consider myself a 'honey badger' as you described, but in your case I feel very much different.

Please make at least one appointment to talk with someone, Mike. Really. It's okay.

Sincerely,

-Fleeing Bellocq
