I feel dark and lonely. I feel all alone. It's hard to live this life - I do so only for my daughter. My support system sucks. It's like I am falling into a black hole and cannot get out. I don't know what to do to feel better. I want to feel cared about. I want to know I am not alone.

You are not alone! Many times I feel like this. Try to go out for a walk if only around the block. Watch a funny movie or program! Read how to be happy or overcome depression on the internet. There's a lot of information that will help!

You are not alone and you are cared about so care for yourself and your daughter.

You have a long history of battling depression, yes? You're no stranger to this. Or, is it somehow different this time?

Neither do I. All I know is that it is at least a little better when I don't think about feeling better. Maybe that's counterintuitive, but it's my experience.

This is one of the worst things about depression: it damages one's ability to feel others' care.

Thank you for joining, Dazeofdolphins. Please keep posting.

Sending you hugz. You are not alone you have this place and we are all here for each other. I know that when I feel like that, the best thing to help me feel better even just briefly is a real hug/snuggle from any of my kids. It just feels like a glimmer of light that makes that dark hole seem a little less overwhelming. Hope your day got better, brighter.
