I can't take this anymore. I've been depressed for months now. It's a low grade, persistent emptiness tinged with suicidal ideation. There are some days where I will wake up okay, only to be hit like a ton of bricks later on in the afternoon. I end up feeling such mental and emotional anguish, as if I've already got the noose around my neck, wondering if I have enough strength to keep from jumping into darkness. No, that won't do. I can't let this take over my life, but I feel so hopeless. Maybe I need more medication, maybe I need a savior, who knows. I just want to be happy. I feel so guilty being depressed; there are so many other people out there who would be forever grateful to be where I'm at...so why can't I?

Sorry you are having such rough time. You might want talk to your doctor, this is probably the best thing you to do. Hope feel better soon.

That sounds just like how I've been feeling for most of the past few months too.

While other people might have a life that's worse from yours... you still feel how you feel. It's a chemical inbalance, it's ok. If there was something you could do to make it magically change, I'm sure that you would (I sure would). Just keep up with the self-care, and consider going to see a therapist if you don't already see one?

Dude, chill out! Best way to get out of a funk is to get under a girl. Try that out and then maybe the noose wont b necessary.
happy to chat it out any time

Umm, I am a girl not a "dude"... And that's not a very helpful response. How can you tell someone who's deeply depressed, anxious, and struggling with it, to "chill out"? Your advice is useless to me.

I understand how you are feeling, Ive been a little down lately..I think its the time of year and weather that is not helping..plus im not working so I feel lonely...talk to your dr. if it gets too bad, or see a Therapist...

I've been a little manic but more depressed can't seem to make myself do too much of anything. I'm feeling like there's no one home ( in here ) my dr appt is tomorrow and I'm sure she'll tweak my meds a little. It's hard to take a shower...get dressed....all I do is sit around and watch tv or sleep. So hope you start to feel better soon. Be well....be safe
