no more friend and no family

Well, it looks like the only friend I had is no longer going to be there for me (we stopped communicating) and I've been highly irritated and impatient with my family and feeling suicidal. I hate who I have become but don't know how to change it. It's obvious that I am driving people away with my negativity and years of struggles but I dont' know how/or it its possible for me to get better and have a more positive outlook on life. Is life worth it if you face a future that will be full of sadness, fear , and depression--I'm just not all that sure anymore...............

aww im sorry to hear that i hope you will find some help and solace here and lots of ppl have a good listening ear to listen whenever you need to chat... hang in there....

Good morning,

I hear exactly what you are saying. I, too have spent time in the "valley of the shadow." When there, I never believed I would ever feel anything positive again. The tunnel vision can keep a firm grip on your mind.

I hope this doesn't sound like some idiot platitude, but it has helped me in the past. If you can, write a list of 5-10 things you are grateful for.

Hoping the best for you today,

Sabra

Im so sorry you're alone now too frownupsidedown. You asked if facing a life full of sadness fear and depression is worth it? Im pretty sure it isnt. Its empty right now and it seems like it will last forever but depression lies to us. There are good days and there will be more. Just try to ride out this sadness and believe there are better days ahead but it may take awhile to get there. We've just got to keep working at it. Sending hugs.

I'm so sorry that you feel this way. I know because I feel like I'm in that position myself. My family is very distant from me and we have pretty much gone our own seperate ways.

I only have one friend. He's OK but there are times when I find him irritating. He's not very understanding of my depression. He tells me to snap out of it. I know he means well, but it seems like he should know better.

Many hugs to you, and surely one from me!
