Why do we even try anymore? Everything just seems so pointless.

Oh Crooks32, Sorry you are feeling so down and out today. I get in that mode myself. What's going on? I am trying today because it is a nice day outside and I feel pretty good, which can be iffy some days. It does help to talk about it so post more if you feel like it or PM me if you want to. I hope you get to feeling better, but some days it just plain ol' sucks! Remember this to shall pass!

Every day is a chance for a new beginning. You never know what tomorrow will bring.

Seriously though everyday is the same. Get up take kids to school, go to work, pick up kids, etc. repeat. Nothing ever changes and really nothing we do is important.

I keep trying, even when all seems lost, simply because I can't stand defeat! I won't let ANYTHING get these best of me for long. I was abused by two husbands, and now I've developed the attitude that I WILL NOT play the role of the victim ever again! I guess that's what gives me the strength to keep fighting against all odds.
I hope you will continue to fight too! And I hope this passes from you soon! Sending you strength and encouragement!

Screw it all. I punched a cinder block wall a few times after leaving my T's office today.

I just can't keep it together.

I know exactly what you mean about every day being the same - drop off kids, work, pick up kids, wash, rinse, repeat... I feel like I've lost myself in parenthood and the meaningless daily routine. It's where I'm needed I guess, but sometimes that doesn't mean it feels very fulfilling. Everything is emotionally draining. I hope you find some good escapes, like getting out for a movie (I go by myself sometimes and LOVE it), hanging out at the library by yourself, going out with a friend, or just something that makes you feel more peaceful. Anything. Easier said than done when you feel depressed and crappy, but I hope you find some way to escape and get some relief. Feeling your pain here.

Crook, I know it sounds like an empty platitude, but it is true. I am proof that if you hang in there, keep doing what you are doing for your family, look to the future, but live in today, something wonderful will happen.

I guess for me part of it is I hope to find ways to distract myself or alleviate the misery/pain I feel..as I would prefer not to off myself as I think that would be very unpleasant but I feel like I only have so much time before the mental pain I feel gets to overwhelming and I just can't take it and resort to suicide. trying to enjoy life, hoping something give it some meaning or something otherwise I don't know how much longer I will want to endure it.

It sucks feeling this way everyday. I think i gave up trying. In a rut hating everything no happiness at all. Depression won I lost. I give up.

I try because I want to keep learning, I think.

trying starts feeling insane sometimes.
repeating some useless action. and I still can't believe that it could be causing nothing. it seems surreal. it's like hammering at something in blind rage and if it doesn't work it's just making me more angry!
I still can't believe I can use all my power and there is no sign of an effect. I am waiting for it. I want to see the effect!

I don't know. Life feels so pointless. I never wanted to be here.
