I'm 25yrs old and been feeling depressed since I was 14yrs old (and probably mildly depressed before that tbh). If you looked at my life, it would look like nothing is wrong (from the outside)... but I'm wrong. I can't shake these suicidal thoughts, feeling hopeless, worthless etc.

Anyway, it's 2am here and I've spent the last 2 hours trying to sleep but I can't sleep because I can't stop thinking about how fed up with life I am. I want to cry but I have no tears left to shed.

I don't see the point in life. It's nothing special. What is the point of fighting against depression every day to just feel the same? I don't want to wake up tomorrow. I don't want to keep breathing. Nothing I do makes the emptiness go away. I'm starting to believe happiness really is a myth...

I've tried accessing mental health services but the waiting list is long and I've convinced myself that I don't deserve to access them anyway.

So, for the time being, I'm going to attempt to vent on here. If this doesn't succeed, I don't know what I'll do tbh. I'm tired of fighting. I've heard you can learn to live with depression and still have a successful life, however I don't know if that is something I can do.

What do you think? Can people really live with depression?

Hi, AnotherDayx, and welcome to My Support Forums. I think there's always hope that things will get better. I have bipolar and have experienced lots of depression--but I've been on good meds and go to a therapist and have been stable for a long time. How about trying the online counseling? I think you'll like someone to talk to and to help you get treatment.

I think I lived with low-grade depression for a good part of my childhood and teenage years.

I personally think life has a lot to offer. (I'm 66 now--and am writing books, something I've wanted to do for a long time.) I also try to help people and have fun with travel and getting together with friends, etc.

By all means, feel free to vent here. We care, and many of us have been where you are.

Vent away. Letting it out can help. I'd offer more if I could.
