I am a social idiot. I contribute nothing. There is no point to my life. Death come soon, plz.

I am never going to get better. i am so overwhelmed and defeated. i feel abandoned, lonely and hopeless.
I feel a tremendous amount of pressure from my family to get better and I don't deal well with pressure.

Your feelings are your own, and I respect your right to them, Berries. As for me, during those times my depressive apathy lifts a bit, I also doubt the value of my existence. Yet I believe the severe limitations imposed by my human finitude and illness do not permit me to properly judge my value.

Argh! Have your caretakers ever spoken with your family about their role in your emotional life and realistic expectations? ... How about this: if a little pressure could "cure" you, maybe a whole lot of pressure would get you to stop aging and being mortal? (Sorry -- couldn't resist...)

berries, gosh knows how much you helped me last year when i was cartaking david. your friendship meant so much just knowing you were here. so i do know you do contribute to many of us. it's difficult sometimes to see our own worthiness, we can be so self critical. i do hope things improve and know we are always here for you too.

Berries, a social idiot? Please, you are talking to the girl who once thought that you had all those forks in fancy restaurants primarily so that you didn't have to dive under the table if you dropped one! And that was one of my more sophistcated moments!

Please, my friend, if I may cal you that, don't say you contribute nothing. When i think of all the people you whave inspired, supported, and helped through their own troubles through the months I have been on PC, you are one of the people I think of as the bedrock of this site. You do more than contribute; you give this place it's soul and it's culture, with your gentle warmth and you humor, and even your anger when approprate.
Dear, I am purely selfish here. death will someday come to us all, but i hope he or she waits until you have had a good go at happiness first. That is the least you deserve! Stick around and take a few HUGGGGSSSSSS from someone who really ddoes not want to have to say goodbye for a while yet.

I can relate to such a frustrating state too. It sucks having ALL the pressure ON TOP of all that you are dealing with inside.

Contrary to the idea that you are a "social idiot" you are being honest. Many can appreciate this trait. In the midst of your ongoing work through this state, you could count that trait as one positive thing about you.

Another positive thing could be the previous posts commenting that you have been reallly helpful and caring in the past. A lot can be avaliable to help you through the pain...You could try to keep being open to keep working through this step-by-step-by-step...
Thanks for this!
Berries, lonegael

Thank you all for your kind words.
I realize I have not been as active here as I used to be. I've just had so much on my plate. AND right now I feel unqualified to respond to my PC family.
I am doing a lot of good things, though. Although, somewhat overwhelming at times, I am proud of myself.
I have a volunteer job on Friday mornings. I am taking Art History, Pass/Fail, with my mom at a community college and I have started OCD group therapy (By far the most scary and overwhelming thing I am doing. and I am progressing at a "turtle" speed.
I hope to be more active here in the future.
Again, thank you for the support. All of your responses helped!
