I thought I had depression beat. I planned to stop therapy. I had felt so good and solidly stable. Since Thanksgiving I have had one obstacle, one heartbreak after another. I could not use the healthy coping skills I had learned. Now, all I want to do is sleep and think of ways to stop the pain. I feel like I have failed and Let my family down. The worst is having my eyes open to the lack of support or attention I have experienced most of my life from my very own family and now husband. My unwillingness to let good friends know what I am feeling or facing because the shame of my weakness is too great. Abandonment and rejection are prevelant among those I had trusted and I don't know how to be strong anymore. I don't want to be strong anymore. I am frightened and destructive. I just want to be held and reassured but that will never happen. I can't see the good anymore and the losses are too many. I can't protect my loved ones and I feel useless.

We all feel down and useless sometimes, I think that is normal, and it’s not a shame to show our weakness, it is called being a human. As far as I can see, you are a caring person, you deserve some help when you need one. We cannot be strong all of the time. I am sorry that you have to hide your feeling from people in your real life, I can imagine how hard it is. But you have friends here who I believe care about you. I am sorry too if I am not helping here, I just wanna drop by so you know that I read your post and I send you a hug

I'm sorry you are having depression again. It's not uncommon to have a relapse. Be kind to yourself and ask others for help. Don't be ashamed. It can happen to anyone.
