I know I don't post much around here, but I feel terrible and just need to ramble. I'm back in a bad space again. Almost a year ago I was hospitalized, I thought at this point I'd be doing better, but I feel just as bad, just as hopeless if not more so. I've realized I'm too broken to fix and that I'll never be better, I'll never have a meaningful life. I'll never be a good person. I feel so sad and alone and hopeless. I go to therapy, I take meds, I do what I'm supposed to, but it doesn't seem to matter. I'm struggling to find a reason to keep trying at this point. blaaaah

I assume that you have discussed the way you are feeling with your doctor. Maybe an adjustment in meds would help.

I know it's hard to be positive when you are feeling so low but sometimes you just have to believe that things will get better.

Hi Ion1280,

Unfortunately, meds and therapy often don't work, especially in the long run. You might want to expand your horizons and try other approaches that you can add to what you're doing. Most of these are great for your health anyway:
