These thoughts of self hate are too intense . I feel like I don't deserve to live because I am so useless and pathetic . What use can I be to anybody when I can't even help myself get out of the trap I'm stuck in ? When I die I'll probably go straight to hell because I don't deserve to go to heaven as I'm so useless .
My brother told my mum that depression is selfish . I don't know what he meant but I do wonder if it's my fault I'm depressed , maybe it's easier to stay depressed than to fight through it . But I have no fight in me . I don't know what to do anymore. If only I could get a sign from God that I'm not alone , that he cares , that there's hope . Or maybe he has given up on me like I gave up on myself

I get those thoughts and feelings too. Like, I don't deserve the air I'm breathing. I've heard that a way to combat it is by taking all of your worse mistakes (the ones that you feel are impossible to redeem yourself from) and then pretend like someone else did it. Now, would you say they don't deserve compassion or heaven or at least some forgiveness?

Ignorance runs rampant in the world of those who don't suffer from depression. No one would ever be like this by choice. This misery and self-loathing isn't something you'd willingly sign up for. How you feel with this disorder, it isn't your fault. And a lot of it is the disorder itself making you think and believe this way.

Depression can be contributed by your attitude and outtake on things, but it stems far deeper than just a personality check. There wouldn’t be so much science and medical stuff involved if depression were our own fault. There’s genetics, trauma, brain chemistry, your surroundings. It’s a much bigger picture than just your own choice. It’s a battle.

You may want to consider therapy if you have health insurance. Also I have found support groups helpful.

I care about you. I think like you at times when my depression and panic attacks get too severe, my body hurts and feels too heavy and I can't get out of bed the whole day.

Maybe you can give me encouragement. Please don't give up. If I see you giving up I may want to give up on me too. We can do it together. And depressed people are not selfish.

Did you take the help of any psych doc and/or therapist? Meds may give you the initial push.

Love to you.
