Hey Hurting, dear friend, I know exactly how you feel. You said it in fewer words than I, because I tend to be long winded and used 10,000 words to say what 10 could do, but I have posted thoughts exactly like yours here. I too have a great life, great job, great family& friends, great home, peace of mind in religion etc, etc ...... There is nothing 'wrong' in my life that is a big deal. Yet, I am going through the darkest, deepest, worst depression of my life right now.

Friend, I am not here to whine about my issues, I hope you don't feel that about what I just posted. I only posted that so you know that you're certainly not alone. And tbh, your post gives me a bit of comfort, NOT at all because you're feeling bad (misery loves company, but not in my case. i'd not want anyone to experience what us with severe depression do) but because your post reminds me that there are others out there who deal with the same darkness I do. So I feel Im not alone in my struggle against this major depression.

So, you see my long-windedness now, and I'm sorry if this was a pointless reply to your message. But my intention is to let you know that I share the same painful, dark feelings and I know, truly know, just what you are going through. I'm having the worst past 6 months of my life, yet th things that normally define a persons happiness in life couldn't hardly be better for me

*hugs* my Aussie friend, and know that I hope and wish you the very best and a turn around in your situation really soon. Post all you want, there are many great and caring ppl here, and please feel free to PM myself or most anyone of the other fine folks here if you need to chat with someone.

Best wishes,
