I hate my life. Wish I could find an empty wilderness somewhere and just go out there and scream my head off until there is nothing left inside of me. I feel trapped in my life that is just not satisfying. I hate this..... does it ever get better? I use to be a somewhat positive person, but things in my life have just been in a downward tailspin.

ha! I just posted a thread with this very same title yesterday. im kinda feeling down and hopeless myself. I didn't get too many responses. a few hugs. I typically don't pay much attention to my life, I just go through it day to day existing but I have been looking at it lately and seeing that I haven't come very far. it is frustrating. I suppose I could look at the fact that I am stable, I have a good job, nice people in my life, but I have no joy. I was suicidally depressed for 30 years before my breakdown 7 years ago. things got immensely better when I got on meds. im stable now. do I dare hope if they got better once they are going to improve again? id like to think so, but I don't know. I always held out hope that things would get better before and they did, so maybe they can again. I hope so for our sakes. take care.

Hello, KC Steely. What you are doing does not seem to be working. You must be willing to change. Getting better is hard work. Professional help is an option.

I wish I could tell you things get better. It seems that for some people they do, but for others (such as myself) they just don't. I don't know why that is. I sincerely hope you are one things do get better for.

I'm a firm believer in things being able to get better, mostly because recently they have improved for me after a looooong time of being horrible. I hated people telling me things would get better, though, because I was like..."what do you know about how I feel?"

I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. I hope things improve for you soon.

KC...hope you get at least dome pleasure out of each day. What were some of the things you liked to do when you considered yourself to be positive? Can you enjoy any of those things now? Can you identify anything that triggered your down hill slide? Can you change the way you think or react to negativity? Maybe you can scream into an empty room, or write your feelings in a journey, draw or paint what your emptiness feels like. Choose to read positive things. Keep in touch with people for sure and talk to a professional. Try not to curl up with this stuff by yourself. Thank yourself for reaching out! Big hug!

"Better" is a long and complicated journey, but I think everyone has the potential to change their circumstances.
