First, thank you for giving us the chance to reach out to you. You took a first step by reaching out and posting. That my dear shows an inner strength and you deserve to be heard. I can understand the med thing as I too have been off my meds and trying to get that straightened out. I send you strength and prayers that you will make it through another week.

You are not alone and there are many people here at PC who care about you. We are here to hold you up when you cannot seem to do it yourself. The lethargic feeling I understand and I am sorry you feel that way. Making one's self move is hard, but give yourself credit. Even in forcing yourself to work even a few hours is a big accomplishment. One that is to be commended when you feel like you do.

Exhaustion is hard and in making yourself do what you have to, you are strong. I am sorry you feel empty and numb. I too know those feelings and they are hard to feel. But even in your empty and numbness, you reached out and I am so proud of you. I am reaching right back to you with strength and friendship.

Not having anyone to talk to irl, is tough. But, know you are heard here always. Sometimes things get going in our heads that seem to find a way to keep us in its grip. Getting into a favorite movie or some music you like can distract those thoughts. It is worth a try.

I know how feeling like you are "losing it" feels. That constant feeling yet the desire to snap yourself out of it. Your willingness to reach out and tell what you feel is one way to begin. Knowing you are not alone and that someone is listening helps. And that my dear you are not--alone that is.

I extend my hand to you and all the strength I have. I pray you will keep reaching and posting. For in that reaching, you are pushing aside the empty, allowing others to step in and fill you with courage, strength, and support. I am proud of you and you deserve to be heard and uplifted.

Depression lies to us, and it kicks hard. It does not care who you are or anything. It does not let up. But, in reaching out you are breaking through its grip. Grab my hand, and together we will fight through it. Thank you for posting and giving me the chance to extend my hand to you. Keep reaching. Love you.
