I feel like I am shutting down. Some days I'm so low and desperate for someone to help me through it - yet I can't bring myself to call a crisis line. It all feels too overwhelming, too much effort to explain, so I don't.
Been in and out of counselling with different counsellors for the past 5 years. Now it's just for maintenance. I'm all talked out.
I finally realised that the only person who can change things in my life, is me. No one else can do it for me. But it doesn't seem worth it anymore.
I accepted a long time ago that one day I would end my life. It is no longer a question of if, but when.

I am sorry you are feeling so low. I noticed on another post that you are trying to hold onto a job and caring for two. That sounds like a big burden. Sometimes our jobs use us up and inside we get angry because of stress or unfair policies/decisions. And if your workplace is like this and you can't walk away, it takes a toil. Or maybe you disagree in some way with a loved one but don't express (holding emotions in can take a toll on us). Or maybe a loved one is sick or has challenges that are stressfull. I don't know. However, I was in a deep depression for years and finally got therapy for it. I found that really digging deep and figuring out what I was angry about helped me. Sometimes we turn our negative emotions or experiences in upon ourselves. It took more than a year of therapy. Posting here helped too. I don't know if any of these things might apply to you....Just trying to give you some ideas hoping something will help you. If you don't end your life--things really might get better. I know it seems impossible in the state you are in but it could. My life has many ups and downs. Had my attempt been successful, I would not be experiencing my current up. Don't give up on trying to recover from your depression, sometimes, things eventually change...
