I've been feeling so down lately. I can't shake this overwhelming feeling of worthlessness. I never feel good enough. I'm never satisfied with anything I do. I feel like I'm constantly disappointing everyone around me.. not that I have a lot of people around me.. I have my husband and one "close" friend who doesn't even know about all of my issues.. I feel so alone. I don't always want to talk about how I'm feeling to my husband and I'm scared to open up to anyone else..

I have so many negative emotions and its so hard to deal with. some days i feel some kind of worth, and that i am good enough and that i can do this.. but most days i just feel like crawling into my bed and not leaving.. i can barely function.

i just want this to get better..

Teacup, sorry you are feeling down lately. You wrote: "feeling of worthlessness. I never feel good enough. I'm never satisfied with anything I do. I feel like I'm constantly disappointing everyone"

When I look at the challenges you list on your public profile, I think it is too much to expect that you wouldn't have these feelings. These are the aftermath of troubled times.

By the way, you also did open up to someone else, us. It is so much easier at Psych Central because you don't have family or work expectations.

Some people find that going to a psychiatrist and getting medicine helps stabilize their emotions. Others talk out the problems.

Sometimes just being part of a community like Psych Central can be a start to having a new life.

I think those negative thoughts just come with depression. I know my self worth goes down when I'm in a depressive state. I hope you feel better soon. Be kind to yourself.
