when people around you keep badgering you about future plans and what you will do in the future when you can't support yourself now, how do you respond when......

when you shield everyone from the ugly ugly ugly truth:
- that it takes almost all you have just to go from day to day or week to week...
- that a person can't think about the future when it takes them 4 hours just to convince themself to get up for the day...
- that you've fought for too long that you don't have any fight left inside...
- that it's too hard to think about the future cuz you're not sure you'll even be there...

deep down you know how bad that sounds, even though some times it is the reality of the situation you are in

I'm sorry you're suffering. I know the difficulty and the isolation of feeling like no one knows or gets it.

When therapy and medication didn't work for me, I discovered methods of thinking and deconstructing negative beliefs that took away my depression. I couldn't promise it could work for you, but if you want to pm me I would share all my resources and do whatever I can to help you.

I am sorry that you are struggling so much right now. But I understand how you feel because what you had to say has describe me in many ways. I feel like this all the time. If I could just snapped out of this phase I wonder what my life would be like. Other people in my family don't understand how I could feel so down, low, hurt, all the time. They think it is either all in my head or I should just get over it. Or it is not really that bad so what I consider to be problem everyone else around me say they aren't really problem.

i know... just a few weeks ago, someone made the comment to me 'well you seem better in the summer'... all i could muster up to say as a response is 'this is not a seasonal thing'!

it's funny how outside people look at you and think/say 'you don't do anything all day' or much of the time - or even things like 'you have lots of free time' or 'you don't have work like me'. wtf!

who would rather go thru the hell i go thru on a daily/weekly basis?! my time is spent fighting an internal battle that no one could ever see and could even begin to see the damage it has done to me over the years
