[nevergiveup8]

I'm done. I don't see how things are ever going to turn around for me and I have to accept that the future I want so badly will never exist. I have no energy to do anything. My own mother refuses to help me. My dad is sympathetic but too busy to devote enough time to me. My friends treat my like dirt. Both of the relationships I have ever been in ended miserably. My face has been broken out for months and only seems to get worse no matter what I do. My freaking therapist dropped me. I don't know where I'm living next year. I'm just done.

[Trying Hard]

I hear you, but remember your blog name Never give up. I got dropped by my last therapist and decided I was never going back to therapy again. I was getting deeper into depression and had to find someone new. She's great.

My friend you CANNOT give up! You were put here for a REASON. You weren't put here just to take up space! You've got to take the time to figure out what that reason is!

I know you're depressed. So am I. So are all of us here on this forum. But we've got to keep going in order to figure out WHY we're here! God put us here cause we have a job to do. I guess mine is TRYING to help others like me, who are having trouble getting by day to day, just like me. I have to TRY to help == I may not do a good job, but I have to TRY. Some people may like to work with animals, or work on cars, or work with the elderly, or babies, or plants, etc. There is SOMETHING that "kind of" interests all of us, if we think about it long enough. You don't have to be a master at anything -- just have a little bit of interest in it until you get to liking it more.

But like your user name says : NEVER GIVE UP!!! Things never stay the same -- things are always changing, and if they're bad now, the only other way to go is UP. So don't despair -- everything changes.

God bless and PLEASE take care. And keep us posted, ok? Hugs, Lee

Life's a rocky road. It goes up and down. But it also goes up. Don't try to overload yourself with the idea that you have to feel great right away for it to away. It's a slow process and nothing is ever perfect. But the most important thing is that you find yourself at your core. Nothing with personality traits or anything. But to breath deeply and listen only to your stomach gut. Let your thoughts pass, don't dwell on them. Don't try to stop and change them. Just let them fly in an out and get a clearer vision and find your inner strenght to find hope even at the darkest of time. Because out there is a life worth living.

Good luck and hugs.

I've been there, and some days still am, but giving up isn't an option.
What helps me was to find one good thing each day and write it down.

If it's all in your head, give you brain a rest and expect less from yourself and nothing from anyone else.

As it goes, the nice thing about the future is that it hasn't happened yet.

Perhaps make tomorrow the day you celebrate having matching socks, even if they are not clean. If you can't find matching socks, celebrate that you have socks.
