No matter where I go or what I do, I just feel so... trapped.

Everyone knows I'm not okay (not sure about how much, though), since I've quit trying to hide it. I can't hide it anymore, it takes too much energy just to stay alive.

I'm down on myself even more now since my meds have made me gain a good 20lbs.. I just feel useless, like there is no point to anything anymore and probably never was.

I'm trapped in this place in my head and I can't get out. How do I get out of this?

Possible trigger:

Lately, I can only think about ending it, like there's no other escape.

Me too, I feel trapped. Where is there to escape to? You say the word, I’ll run there with you!

I'm sorry, my friend. But you're doing a good thing by not hiding it anymore. You deserve help and support...

I am sorry you are struggling. Big hugs.

I can relate to what you have shared in your post.

I am glad you are not hiding your struggle anymore; I hope those around you will respond with understanding and compassion.

You are in a very tough spot, one to which I can relate. I have been there, too, recently. Because you've shared, I know I am not alone in this struggle today.

I want to return the favor and share with you: I have lived with severe depression for over 30 years... even longer as I was traumatized and depressed as a child. Much of my life, my depression was "masked," until I just could not do it anymore. Here's the good news: I have made it thus far, despite the severe struggles. My depressions have been deadly; yet, I am still here.

I am glad you are reaching out!

Try to find an interest if you can do so. If not, don't give up on it.

Keep reaching out!

Stay safe!
