Hi everyone, im new...
I've been struggling a lot lately. ..everything seems to keep going down hill. Ive struggled with depression since i can remember...i self-harm and have suicidal thoughts... im trying to get better for my sake and my very few friends and family. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 16 & about a year later fibromyalgia. Im constantly in pain, physical and mental. Lately my job has been going downhill. ..my family life is rough. I feel so alone...I only have two friends whom im very thankful for. I used to never cry especially in front of others. But lately I can barley keep from crying. Im so tired and don't really feel human. I feel like a burden, and don't know what to do... Sorry for rambling on

Having depression is tough by it's self, but when you add physical pain, life really gets hard. I'm assume you are under a doctor's care and someone is watching your depression as well as your physical issues. We also have a forum for chronic pain issues, too. you might try there for some support with you physical issues.

Hello...
You are trying to get better! That's wonderful.. You do not know what to do...no problem... just stay open to the belief that what you need to accept and begin to choose WILL come to you... probably in bits and pieces... By the way... I am somewhat new here, too, but have already found that for me, at least, rambling on can bring important valuable realizations about how I ended going down into what seemed to be an abyss...sometimes just writing about one aspect of myself has led to more understanding about other aspects I need to take care of...and even self-empathy, and I have also benefited from other members picking up on things I've written in my ramblings...things I hadn't fully understood, because it's not quite as easy to see ourselves clearly as impartial 'strangers' can... it especially helps, from what I can see, that we are all here to get honest with ourselves with others who are also suffering from depression... progress can come from just listening to your own posts, or being willing to try on new ways of looking at ourselves from replies and even from reading other posts... so, anyway...please never apologize for rambling... you may find doing even more 'rambling' cathartic/therapeutic... Welcome~

Gayleggg, currently I haven't been under a doctors care. Im 21 & a little over a year ago-long story short-I moved out of my mom's and am out on my own..since then health insurance has been off & on between my parents/step-parents. But in a couple months ill hopefully get insurance through my current job.
With the depression though...I did manage to find a therapist..who's working under someone else & is willing to work out the cost so I can afford it. I haven't gone to her in about a month though...things keep coming up on both of our sides...but after the holidays im gonna try to get back. Thanks ill definitely check that forum out too  Chloepatra, thank you for what you said. It helped...sometimes I get nervous/scared (for no reason at all usually lol) I have to agree with you about rambling being cathartic/therapeutic. Sometimes just getting whatever off your chest makes everything a little more bearable. Thanks again

I did not see or sense any rambling. I sensed someone that simply needs to know that they MATTER.
And yes - you do matter. *HUGS to you. I hope you find something this Christmas season that makes you smile.......... |

Please see the thread I just began on depression and inflammation... RA is right in there with the inflammatory conditions. There's lots of hope for you...for all of us... Science finds more answers all of the time.

Thank you everyone for the replies. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I've been sick for the past week
Thank you Useless Me-I needed to hear that. I didn't realize until now, that I've been feeling like I don't matter, and not good enough etc. But its not the case. Chloepatra-thank you I will check it out "I need a drop of grace to carry me today"

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
