TRIGGER WARNING - MENTION OF SUI




I don't really feel like going into details but I just feel like I can't take it anymore. Nothing I do seems to help and even my T said I will have to deal with depressive symptoms for the rest of my life so what's the point. I don't want to die but there doesn't seem to be anyway out. Living feels like torture and I have had enough. Please just let it all be over.

I get your sense of feeling frustrated and hopeless. Are you sure you arent looking at the darkest side of it all? I think sadness is a part of life and we in depression might have a harder time dealing with it than most people. I believe it is possible to learn coping skills even if we cant be guaranteed that things will ever be as good as we want them to be. Sometimes we have to learn to accept the good there is and say thats good enough. I know how you feel but try not to give up all hope.

I feel the same way. I wish I could say something to make you feel better but I don't know the answer or if there is an answer.

I can't say anything that's going to make you feel better right now.

But I can tell you it's possible to feel better. Even if it doesn't feel like it now.

Thanks everyone for the support. I am feeling a little bit better today but still overwhelmed. I am currently caught between wanting to quit therapy because it just seems like another stress in my life and wanting to get extra support because it kind of seems like I need it. I have no idea what to do anymore...

What medications are you taking?

This is probably why you're depressed. But talk to your doctor before you stop taking it.

What? How would that be causing my depression? I have been taking this medication for some time with no ill-effects. I am quite certain that I am feeling depressed / overwhelmed due to recent life changes and also getting into some difficult stuff in therapy. My T is going on maternity leave in 6 months which is bringing up some of my abandonment issues not to mention the transference issues I am trying to work through.

I appreciate your input but please don't make assumptions.

I think everyone feels like life just isn't worth it sometimes. But it is. I promise. I didn't think so for so long and still don't sometimes. But then I realize that it's my depression lying to me. It's not true. Life is worth living.
