joined this place over a year ago. never did much reading or following though. I'm in a place now where I don't even know why I bother waking up. what I need, right now, is someone to tell me that there's a reason to keep trying day after day. I can't possibly be the only person that feels outnumbered by life. Seems like the only way I can manage is with alcohol, drugs, etc. Please tell me I'm not as alone as I feel. Haven't joined a message board since AOL was all the rage in the 90s, my dial up connection was my lifeline for a long time, lol.
anyone near seattle?
ps.... anyone remember frog and toad? "blah, said toad"
I totally get toad.

XOXO

You are not alone. I know exactly how it is to not want to get out of bed. when I am in a very deep depression I don't get out of bed. Right now I am in a depression but it is not as severe as the last one but every think still feels totally overwhelming. Taking a shower, going to the post office......out of the question.

I self medicated with drugs and alcohol for many years. It worked until it didn't work. When it quits working it is a very hard fall. I had to get proper professional treatment. A psychiatrist and a therapist and stop using drugs and alcohol.

There is a reason to keep trying everyday because it can get better. It takes the proper treatment. I am sure there are people who care about you and who you care about. If you are a Mom in PJ's then there much me kids. How old are they? Are you married?

On the one hand, you are not alone. On the other, even knowing that may have little effect on how you feel. Depression, feelings have a life of their own that resists being thought away.

Plenty of Toads here...

I get through it by taking one day at a time. I try to stay out of the future or the past. I'm still depressed, but it gets me through the day.
