Hello fellow sufferers. I'm so so sad and sorry to read of your utter despair and pain which severe depression surely brings. I know and I UNDERSTAND, because I've been there far too many times, and I'll go there again. One thing that I know people who've never had true depression, doesn't know, is that depression is so PHYICALLY PAINFUL. For me it hurts my heart, it feels as though it's been squeezed of all it's life, it's a kind of grieving pain, like when you loose someone who really close to you. Perhaps thats why I've tired 'self medicating' with alcohol and substance abuse, to numb the pain, anything to take that ache away. I so wish I could hug all your pain away and then give you a reason/reasons to live again. I am my fathers only carerer now, he's 80 and I'm 56, we live together. I KNOE for a fact that when Dad passes I'm homeless straight away, it's a fact and the govenment have absolutely no intention of helping me because I don't have a load of kids on the social system. My severe mental health issues meant Dad was my only carerer, until 3 months ago. Overnight due to him having five cardiac arrests, our rolls turned 360, I'm now his carerer. I DO UNDERSTAND you all and I CARE about you, simply because I KNOW some of what you're going through. PLEASE hang on, PLEASE stay with us on PC, please let us know of any progress, both good or bad. Thankyou.
