Life is too overwhelming for me and sometimes I feel more and more like it's not worth it. I'm usually negative about everything. I'm tired. I know I will keep living and will find happy times, but I just don't think it's worth it. I usually don't think of myself as depressed but life is too hard for me. That's all. Does anyone else feel that way? I don't mean physically hard, but emotionally hard. DBT,therapy, and yoga help, but I have to live in my world where no one understands how difficult everything is for me. I look normal, but I overreact to everything and think of myself as a failure. I don't want meds. I tried.

I just want to add that I have a lot to be grateful for, and a lot to be happy about in my life yet I feel like I can't cope with my emotional challenges.

I see that you have been on PC a long time. I guess you've exhausted all the medical possibilities. I'm so sorry you can't find relief. Have you changed drs? Sometimes a new dr will have different views and may know about newer medications. I can't cope without mine.
I'm sorry life is so hard for you. I'm sending warm wishes and hugs.
I hope you feel better soon.

I think bharani's advice is sound. I can't live without my meds--they make the difference for me between a really dark place and a normal life. But I have genetic difficulties that make me prone to depression. I did work through my first major depressive episode without drugs, just LOTS of exercise, so that is possible. Do you think you could exercise a lot?

I get it It's frustrating and sometimes I wish I could just run away or turn my mind off. I get it and the only thing you can do is try to take things one moment at a time. It sucks that we're in this struggle but I do hope that someday it gets easier
