I just don't want to do this anymore...

I'm tired of just doing what it takes to make it through the day. I'm tired of the constant struggle to "make life happen". I wish I was alone because it would be so easy to give up. I just wish I could sleep forever.

I have been in the same boat lately.....I feel like I'm wasting everyone's times....that there really is no hope for me. But I still keep trying and I hope you will too. You deserve real happiness....not just "getting by, waiting to die" if you know what I mean. ((,hugs)))

I have no hope that life is EVER going to get better.

Can you look back and remember a time where you were happy and had hope?

Yeah, but that was a VERY long time ago. Seeing pictures of that time make me cry cause I feel like I will never know joy again. I just can't take this feeling of hopelessness.

(((Hugs))). I understand and I'm sorry. If you were happy once, chances are good you will be again. If it hurts to think of times when you were happy, try not to think of them. Just remember that you have what it takes to be happy again....history proves this. Do you have any sort of plan to improve your situation? Seeing a doctor or therapist perhaps? Talking with family and friends? Any self-soothing behaviors you can engage in?

I'm so sorry that you are feeling so terrible and overwhelmed. Can you take some shortcuts, to make your load a little easier? Or let someone else take up the slack? I've been slogging along, sort of miserably myself. All sorts of things around my house I could tend to, inside and out, but I'm on very slow motion. I promised my daughter I'd spend time tomorrow morning restarting a job search. I know that will make me feel better. What little thing can you promise to do tomorrow, that could help you feel a little better?

I am seeing a therapist but she wants me to take a depression anxiety group instead of seeing her because she said "I'm not helping you". Wow, am I just that much of a lost cause. My bed has been my best friend lately. Nothing seems uplifting right now. Just have to go through the motions I guess, the meaning of my life.

So sorry life's being such a biyatch VJ, although its good to have you around these parts again.


I was lost im the abyss two weeks ago, so the experience is still fresh, I hope you manage to claw your way out soon enough.

I do hope you find some hope in the middle of all the hopelessness. It may be tenuous.

"My bed is my best friend lately". Boy do I relate to that...sleep can be a great escape sometimes...without sleeping through the torment and sickness on occasion, I would surely not have made it.

I really hope you begin to feel a spark soon....that you begin enjoying something. Please stay safe and reach out for help if you need it. You deserve to feel better. (((Hugs)))

"I have no hope that life is EVER going to get better ..."

It may not .. but it will be different ... every day we draw breath life is different ... look for the differences ... in the flowers , the weather, those around you ... notice and conscientrate of the little things that change day by day ... seek these out .. revel in lives little changes ...

"Just have to go through the motions I guess, the meaning of my life".

Life has no meaning in and of it's self ... we give meaning to our lives ... the smallest desire to be different will create a difference ... we can change if only the tinest amount at a time ... look at ants .. so tiny .. seemingly so weak and useless ... like we feel sometimes ... but a tiny little at a time and not stopping or giving up and they can move mountions ...

"My bed has been my best friend lately. "...

be thankful for what you have ... I can not and have not slept more that 2 to 3 hours for days ... your "bad " thing would be a god send to me ... none of us are better or worst that another ... we are just different ... and our days change in what we need and want ... time is a great healer ... if we allow it to play out ... peace and love to you .... Tigger .. 사랑해 . 당신은 강한이되어야한다

-----a group might be GREAT for you qnd many are free, but the therapist has to go if she wont even help you devise some strategies. A job search and bipolar workbook would be better than that approach.

Take heart that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I know its hard, but I often think of Winston Churchill's quote "If you're going through hell, keep on going." Because once you get through hell and on the other side, everything will be better. Don't give up.

Find the thing(s) that make you feel fulfilled. For my best friend it was joining a pirate society and becoming a pirate. Right now, for me, its doing photography. Find that one thing you can look forward to and really enjoy.
