Does anyone else at times feel like just existing is painful? I am not sure how to exactly describe it. I just want to escape.

Thanks guys. It is weird this time the depression feels different. The worst part is everyday having suicidal thoughts. I want those thoughts gone. The last time I was depressed I got a bracelet made with my sons names on it to remind me why I have to keep fighting.

Hi Crook32, just existing is painful for me too and I'd love nothing more than relief from this depression. I'd like to escape too, but I don't what that escape would look like since nothing seems to improve my mood whatsoever. But, yes, escaping this pain of merely existing on not really living would be wonderful.

The pain of merely existing, of no genuine life, of no hope is too much for me.
I don't know what the alternative is either. It's a horrible conundrum.

I wish you well.

Ugh...know exactly how you feel...and when I read you're "location" description, I think of my own situation wherein I wasn't physically relocated, but relocated in an employment sense...I certainly wish you and all of us here today well...
