My life doesn't suck. I just suck at life.
I am so ****ing depressed.
My life hasn't turned out the way I had hoped it would. Not even close.
And please don't tell me that no one's life turns out the way they had hoped for. That doesn't help. At all. Makes me feel invalidated.

I am grieving, feeling sorry for myself, and jealous. I hate being this way, but I am.

I don't feel like trying anymore. I've been at this for over 25 years. I am so tired.

Berries......I'll validate how you're feeling because I'm feeling pretty much the same. I too wish that I had words, for both of us, but I don't. I just do understand much of what you have posted. My life has been turned upsidedown with my Bipolar 1 diagnosis, but even before that, no matter how I looked on the outside, inside I've been unhappy. I was working at a job I loved, front desk at a health club.....but all it really did deep down was point out to me how many issues exist in my life, how different my life was from most of theirs'. Just the furthest thing from what I thought to be "normal". But then, everyone would say "what's normal, anyway?" At least, know you're not alone......
Thanks for this!

I don't know what to say, except for cheesy cliches, and I know those don't help during difficult times like this. So all I can say is that I'm here to listen whenever you need to talk, and I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks for this!

Depression takes me over and I too don't feel good about my life. I have a lot to be thankful for, but have difficulty appreciating everything I have. Instead I just seem to exist, go through the motions of life, not really happy or feeling anyway actually. I try to use the techniques I have learned to help me feel better, sometimes they work sometimes not.
Positive self talk seems to help if I can get myself to do it. I used it more today than in the past couple weeks, and I do feel somewhat better.
I hope for the best for you.
Thanks for this!

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad right now. Is there something in particular that's bothering you? I'd be glad to listen if you want to vent.

Hope things get better for you soon!
Thanks for this!

I'm not sure what to say either but I feel like you're a good person, and I WANT to have something to say. Lots of cliches come to mind. I KNOW from what you've posted how hard things are for you, how no med has really fixed it, how long you've been suffering.

Only thing I can think of is trying another method, another T, yet another medication combination, another doctor to give new opinions.

Mostly, just here to support and care
