my story seems to always end in the same situation depression....
i have a problem with handling my depression... struggling for 14 yrs and feeling 60 when im only 31. i can't handle it anymore!!!

my reasons for being here are my children but how can i be a good mom when i'm like this? finically i'm broke, i'am trying to get out of an abusive relationship, i have binging and purging problems, I dull the pain by smoking pott and once in awhile drinking. if its not one thing its another. I'm fully aware that others have it alot worse but i just feel as if i'm at the edge and am falling once again

You have a lot on your plate right now. I am sorry you are having to deal with it.

Just being there for your children can be enough. I hope you find the right mix for you and your children.

No matter how bad it is for someone else, your personal depression is bad enough for you. Welcome! Vent away, somedays it's all you can do.

there's no need to compare your own experience with someone else's. the point is you're hurting, and it can't be denied. we're all here to support each, no matter how bad or how light our situations are. you're more than welcome here at psych central.

I agree with nowheretorun. You are at the edge and YOU are important and YOU matter! Ignore anyone who attempts to tell you different. needing help Maybe they should try being in your shoes, or any one of our "shoes" who post here.. needing help
needing help

And major kudos for trying to get out of an abusive relationship. That takes a lot of strength! Please keep posting and venting here, we care!

Hi sickofderpression,

I am new to this site, but definitely not to depression either. I've been depressed for 24 years and I understand where you are coming from. I'm sorry, it sounds like you have a lot of things going on. Do you have a friend or someone to talk to?

Anyway please hang in there,
bandjelly
