It just came suddenly and now I feel so hopeless: like there is never going to be any significant happiness in my life. I feel that my relationship with my wife is plagued by misunderstandings and small griefs. I feel inadecuate, sad, dark, and unable to express my feelings.... I wish i could just disappear from all this.
The sky is blue and beautiful outside and yet it does not reach me...
This is my first time in this group, hope I am following guidelines.
It would be so nice to hear some support

hi papapa99, welcome to PC!

I'm sorry you're feeling so down right now. I know what it's like to feel like you're somehow cut off from anything good or beautiful like nice weather. I think it's a little like living inside a tinted glass box, where you can see outside but can't participate in that beauty, and all the colours seem muted or dulled by the time they get to you. It's not fun at all. I hope that you find the support here that you're looking for, and keep posting on how you're doing. Know you're not alone in this!

Your post is an excellent expressive start.

Have you been experiencing these griefs long? When did you fall in the hole?

Thank you...
I tend to routinely "go in the hole", it tends to last days, fortunately almost never more than a week. But I do think that I am living constantly with a low grade depression (like dysthimia ??)
I feel that life is not turning out to be what I thought it "should" be. I am less mature, less confident, less clear, less spiritual, and less loving (towards my wife and child that what I thought I would be)
Thank you again, it helps to communicate and put words to the turmoil in my head....

You may not be able to see us, but you are not alone in that "hole" in fact it is quite crowded down there.

If you need help climbing out feel free to stand on my shoulders

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
