Im sorry im here all the time being negative but things are still bad for me .
Im so depressed I barely function , i barely take care of myself . i can't live like this . some days i strongly feel like taking my own life .
How can things get better when their this bad ?
Where do i find the strength to fight this?
How do i find motivation and energy ?

Im so lost . im so alone . i want to cry so badly but tears don't come out .

Im ashamed to be me , someone who is nothing with no purpose in life

Things have been really bad for 5 years with no improvement . is it too late for me ?

I'm so sorry you feel like this. I can relate. Now that my children are grown and my (abusive) parents have died, I no longer work...I feel like I have no purpose.
I feel like a failure. I cannot cry either. Life hurts.
Please don't apologize for saying how you feel. I wonder how things will get better also. Will they?
I wish there was some way I could help you , but all I have is empathy.

There is always hope, Crying.

Are you on medication? With a therapist?

And also I am wondering, have you been able to talk with any of your children lately?

You don't deserve this either. Though I have my husband, I feel alone. I rarely leave the house. I don't see the point of it. I want friends but it's too much effort to keep them. That sounds awful but, it's true. Do you have a therapist? Anyone to talk to?
It seems like after my parents death, and knowing I never mattered to them, my depression worsened. I'm totally shut out by my brother. He was so cruel to my family while my parents were dying, I cut off contact. I wish my attitude was better and I could enjoy anything at all.
I want to reach out to you and just sit beside you to give you company. I really do understand.

Crying, you have a lot of difficulties to face. It isn't too surprising you're having a hard time keeping on. My mother had COPD so I can relate to how hard just that one thing is. Much love and many hugs going to you (((((((Crying)))))). :group hug"

Hi cryingontheinside!

I was thinking of you also, I’m sorry you’re still struggling. Is there one positive thing about yourself you can think of and hold onto, or one thing you find beautiful? Beautiful music, a flower?

Peace and hope to you dear person
