I suffer multiple illnesses depression being one. I'm at a point again where everything is pointless. I can be with my family and feel like I'm not even in the room. I go to bed at 7pm most the time and dont wake up until 8 or 9. I feel nobody can help and if I ask I'm just being a burden. I'm unemployed trying to get disability, living with my family... at 38. Cant hold a job, or even get an interview. I dont want to kill myself, or try again, but dont see much of a point to anything anymore. I really want to talk to a therapist but I'm on a waiting list...

Idk anymore...

It might help to try different things to find a spark of interest in anything--an activity, a curiosity, or a particular place. I hope things get better for you.

Sounds like you n I are in the exact same boat - except I cant even find a therapist that will even consider seeing me.

Best I can tell you - keep distracting yourself n then using relaxation techniques. It's the only way to make it thru when you cant do anything else.

And just know - you aren't alone. ❤

I'm sorry things are so bad right now. But you are definitely not alone in feeling this way.

My insurance called me today. They gave me three numbers for therapist in my area that's covered. Just need to call them.
