Worse.

Every time I take steps to make things better, life gets worse. So ready to just give up. Why? Why? Why? And why do people make assumptions that are so damn wrong all the time?

Sorry things are not going well for you. Hope they get better soon.

I know exactly what you mean. I did not think my life could get any worse but it did. Don't know why. One thing I do know is...never, ever, give up. Fight until there is absolutely nothing left, and then, fight some more. Maybe you'll need to go in a different direction than planned but, in time, something will work. It has to....

Fighting your way out of depression is rarely a smooth transition. You take two steps forwards and then slide back one. Its a process. There really aren't any answers as to why so many people have to suffer in life. When I get to the point that I just want to give up, I think about where I am and how much worse things could get. It doesn't always work, but sometimes it helps.

I'm not sure what people are assuming about you. In the face of little information, people do make assumptions about a lot of things to fill in the holes of the things they don't know. Often they are wrong. What looks like normal on the surface, may be far from it inside. Very few people give up all their secrets to friends or co-workers. They may seem happy and well adjusted when in truth, they are actually hitting rock bottom and thinking seriously about suicide.

I wish you the best of luck. Being where you are is a terrible place to be. The only thing you can do is keep trying.

Thanks for the replies. It just feels like I keep trying, and nothing gets better. Family, work, health. All three of those areas are a total mess right now, and aren't those three of the areas most people find their purpose for living in. Instead my health sucks ( but doctors have nothing to diagnosis, I have no family, and my job is in jeopardy. Dealing with these stresses, and then coming home to an empty house day after day is exhausting. I just want to give up and sleep. Finally, some people would tell me to get out of the house and find something to do to take my mind off of it. Unfortunately, I can't do that either because I'm pretty much home bound because of my health issues. I'm running out of stamina to keep trying.

No advice just hugs and sending well wishes
