I can't hold on anymore

Please don't think about dying anymore. Do you have any idea what it would do to those that love you? They would be devastated! And YES there are people who love you!

I know depression is awful -- I've suffered from it since I was a small child. It's miserable! BUT it CAN be managed! Talk with your medical doctor if your therapist isn't doing the job. Your doctor can put you on an antidepressant which will get you over the hump. I've been on antidepressants for probably more than 30 years! Without them, I just cannot function. I take one twice a day, as my case is pretty severe. Sure, no one wants to take medications, but Thank God for them so that in certain cases, we CAN be made to feel better!

Talk to your doctor and see what he says. I hope he can help you. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee

Delicatefade26, what did you do for the box with three sections--your past, present and desired future?

Thank you so much for asking...I had cloth on the bottom that was chaotic in color and words and colors surrounding it representing my childhood-trauma and all. Then I had a piece of glass that was shattered because that's how I feel right now-fragmented and broken-then on top of that I had what I want and I put the word free and the word "real life"...I'll take a pic and show y'all...T really liked it and said I did a good job...he said I'm not broken though...cracked maybe-but that's where light can come through...I really enjoy making stuff like this for T to see

please hold on, I am on the other side of this and my partner hsa pushed me away - he ended our relationship 2 weeks ago and I just so want to help him with this - i don't want to belive it is over I fear it is his depression talking and I want t ofight for him but i am afraid that if i fight to hard right now it will push him away more.
He is the most important thing in the world to me.
I don't know how to reach out to him, i mean I feel like I do but I'm worried how he will take it in this state.
Thinking of you and wishing you well.

Good! I think -- or, would like to think -- there's real value in non-verbal forms of therapy. Feelings can be easier to convey in art or poetry than in normal discourse.
