Hoping

Hi everyone!

I'm back again but even worse... I just don't know what I'm doing anymore!!

So, I've been with depression for like 6 years now. I never actualy had a friend, I feel like a failure all the time, I feel pointless...
I just want to be able to wake up one day and be happy and feel ok with myself. Actualy enjoying life!!

Much love to everyone

Hi Hopeless girl, welcome to pc. I'm sorry you are feeling so bad. Six years with depression seems like a long time. I am like you in that I feel like a failure so often and that is not a good feeling. I'm like you in that I would like to wake up one day and be happy and feel good about myself. Hang in there and keep posting to us. I know life can be so ugly but I keep holding out hope of something better someday. Have you been to a therapist or anything? I am just now trying that route. Hope it works. Best of wishes.

Thank you so much for the support! It means a lot to know that I'm not the only one who feels like this...

And what do you think about therapy? I'm kinda scared of going to a therapist! I've already been to a psychiatry and I was medicated with anti-depressants but they were always changing by medication and I didn't actually about how I felt

Hope you feel better

Big hugs I get shy and was scared too, but in the end I've realised it's important to get the help and support. I've had my diagnosis of depression for 4 years now, but it started much sooner - I know how awful it can feel when it's been going on for such a long time and nothing seems to be getting any better. We just have to stay strong - things always get better in the end, it just takes time I suppose. Look after yourself, J.

Hello, Hopeless_girl. Feeling hopeless certainly is not ideal. Here is some food for thought:
