I'm tired of feeling so alone. I'm too introverted to have many friends. My Depression is a blackness that is killing me. Too slowly. I try to be kind but others usually don't notice me unless they are looking for someone to hurt. I'm a failure at life.

maybe your introversion is a necessary defence.

Depression is a kind of slow death.
Or, maybe it's a living death.
Or, maybe it's a slowing of life.
Or, maybe no one definition of depression is sufficient.

I could challenge your assessment of life "failure", but would my words be more than superficial comfort? I challenge all our abilities to assess the value of our own lives.

Regardless of how you feel, Mountainstream, I cannot see you as a failure at life.

I'm sorry you are having such a tough time. You're not alone and you're not a failure at life. Do you have a pdoc or tdoc you can reach out to? I hope you start feeling better soon.
