I feel sad, lonely, angry, stressed out, paranoid, guilty, frazzeled, exhausted, scum of the earth.......list goes on!

What's stopping me from giving up on life?

My brother wants nothing to do with me. My parents have passed on. I only have "family friends" and professionals to help me.

I am in desparate need of guidance. I feel completely alone and isolated. I have to call the crisis line over small things because I can only talk to professionals since my "family friends" aren't experienced enough to handle my problems/condition.

Will life ever get better?

It sounds to me like you need a hug or two or maybe twenty!

Things will get better! I'm sorry that it's rough right now but please don't give up! You have friends here to help you, a community of people who know firsthand how overwhelming and hopeless life can be to support you whenever you need it. If you think that you're going to hurt yourself, please, please go to the hospital and tell them how you feel so that they can take care of you. The professionals are there to listen and to help, so keep talking to them. Do you have at therapist you can talk to about this? And it's good that you're calling the crisis hotline. It's there to help you get through anything -- I know from my own experience that being depressed makes even little things feel like a full-blown crisis, and talking it out with anyone relieves some of the pressure.
I looked at both the posts you've put up and you are not the scum of the earth. You're cared about and I want to see you get through this!! Don't give up on your life. Instead, focus on reclaiming it from this terrible, terrible illness. Fight hard and know you're not fighting alone! And keep posting. I care about how you're feeling and I'm here to help you through it any way I can. Feel free to pm me if you like.


Take care. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but when you hit rock bottom, the only place left to go is up.

You are not, I repeat, not the scum of the earth even though you may feel like it. I'm glad that you have been calling a crisis line when the need arises . Please, don't give up on life. Life will get better eventually. It may take a week, a month, or years but it will get better. I used to be severely depressed and I felt worthless. I didn't think that I would ever feel happy again. It took me almost 3 years before I started to feel better. I'm glad that I didn't give up when I was feeling so low. I hope that you don't ever give up.

U bet'cha, ((((((zen))))))). i had no hope, no support system, no family support, parents deceased....and i got help and started from there. i care how u feel and there are many of us that do!! just hang on and post as often as you need to. we do understand. i came from the depths of my own hell with depression. had no hope. couldn't even help myself!! my T and pdoc got me started (60 days hospitalized, that was how down i was) in the right direction and i've built on that for quite some time now....have made wonderful friends that care about me and don't care about that the fact that i have dx's. they love me for me. so just hang on with us....you can pm me anytime if you'd like.

Thank-you for your support and wisdom! I don't think it's necessary for me to go to hospital. Ive been there more times than I care to remember. The hospital staff treats me like scum and sends me home.

I think im going to take another sleeping pill so I can forget today.

You're NOT a scum like I have said before! I have severe depression and I don't have anyone to talk to about it but I have to keep reminding myself that you only live once and then its over, and I should live my life to the ultimate fullest. I'm depressed still, it's not cured but I still know how to keep a positive attitude and I hope that you can start realizing it because it might make you feel better as an individual

Gentle hugs (((((((( Zen ))))))))

No you are not scum, you are going through a difficult patch in your life right now and things can and will get better. Keep talking to us here, we do understand.

I feel like they should be HELPING you... as that is their job... you're not scum and shouldn't be treated as such x.x *agrees with the above posts*

I'm sending you hugs, because you need them

My brother wants nothing to do with me. My parents have passed on. I only have "family friends" and professionals to help me.

Brothers aren't the best thing for you anyways, maybe you can find some friends around there, until then at the very least you have us here.

It's odd... people seem so far away but they're right around the corner.
I don't know about where you are in life - maybe for friends if there's any way you can volunteer locally, you could meet other volunteer and make friends that way.

Just wanna send you lots and lots of hugs and to let you know I'm here
