I feel isolated, like I'm on a foggy island and no one will ever find me. I don't know if I want to be found. All I feel up to of late is sleeping. I just want to sleep forever. My aunt just died, and I know I will have to go through the grieving process but what if I can't make it through? I'm not a strong person and I have a lot of 'I can't' thoughts. I don't know what I'm looking for by writin this. Maybe just expression?? I've struggled with depression in the past and I don 't want to go down that road again but I'm so scared I will because I'm not strong. I feel like I'm drowning.

Expressing is good. Sharing is good. Makes you feel less like you're carrying all that weight alone. I'm so sorry you lost your aunt. Were you particularly close to her? Having "I can't" thoughts doesn't mean that you can't do what you need to do. It means that you find it very daunting and you have doubts. We all do. You are stronger than you think you are. You aren't alone really. There are many caring people here who have felt much the same way you do. We can't be there for you but we can be here for you. You may feel better if you share some more.

I don't know what you are looking for either...
I do however want to express that I care about you

its so hard being lost inthe fog and wanting to just sleep it away - maybe you need rest - are you taking vitamins? somtimes i find that helps lift the fog a little - somtimes i just have to keep doing as much as i can when i can to get through it and sleep and rest if thats all i can do
take it second by second .. you can get through a second right ? good then another and another - and soon its a minute, an hour, a day...... allow yourself to grieve if you feel you want to - but also allow yourself to not feel if that is how it affects you at the moment- if you have been through depression before - you are strong - you made it through - you know what it does and you made it out of the fog before and you can do it again dont forget to check wiht your dr in case there is a physical reason for the fog -make sure you are hydrated and eating - these are things that can slip away while we sit on the edge of that dark place as has been said - there are many here who have been in the fog and who are willing to sit with you until you find your way out take care P7
