As the title indicates, nothing is supposed to last forever, but this depression seems interminable. Only a year ago I was on top of my game, then I made an impulsive decision that catapulted me into this depressive episode. I'm at that point where it feels like I'll be like this forever. I get no relief. I'm an automaton simply existing, not living...depression is the absolutely worst of the human condition...

We're here for you. Hang in there.

Is there anything you can change? Something simple you can do to care for yourself?

Hang in there. I wish you the best!

I improved in the past, I keep thinking that I must be able to improve this time, but it is such a hard slog. I don't expect to recover completely, but I'd like to feel pleasure and excitement again, I'd like to be in love with life instead of fearing the never ending despair. Yes this is a terrible illness indeed. ((((((Regretful))))))

As you probably already know mine is very cyclical so it comes and goes. The worst times are feeling it come back after doing good and I say please god not again. Yes again. It is a terrible disease and I hope it passes for you soon and for all of us.

Hi regretful. I agree, this depression is a miserable illness. I too, have been battling this monster for about a year. I have beat it in the past so I know I can somehow beat it again. Hang in there, we just have to support each other. Hopefully we will all be doing better eventually.

Things will get better. No matter how long my depressions have lasted, they DO lift. But when you're in the middle of them, it's like the end of the world. I hope your lifts soon.
