I'm writing this post just to say hi and to see if anyone responds. To make a very long story short, I'm a 38yo Gothic guy from Maine living in New Mexico. I am a veteran of Bosnia and Iraq. I have major depressive disorder and I'm really feeling it tonight. The only one I can turn to is my abusive girlfriend and not even her because the reason for my depression is that I finally had to break contact with my soulmate, best friend, and the love of my life. I kept in contact with her even though we haven't seen each other in nearly 8 years, but she's married and finally said she didn't want to feel like she's being unfaithful to her husband by talking to me. So it's like a chapter of my life, the best chapter, is ending. I have no living relatives, my girlfriend has alienated all of my friends, even my little boy passed away when he was 3 months old. I am even having trouble trying to get alone time enough to post this. I can't even really embrace my Gothic lifestyle here and be myself, as it's not allowed here for many reasons.

Please no judgement. There is alot that I haven't posted, but that's the basics. Thank you for your patience and for reading this.

I'm so sorry that you're dealing with so much right now. I wish there was more we could do virtually to help out...

Have you considered counseling/therapy at all? Depression is hard, dealing with the losses that you've had is hard, and doing it all without a really good support system is really, really hard. I'm fairly isolated as well, and it just makes everything more painful, in my opinion... I can't promise a therapist will work wonders, but they seem to help a lot of people.

Hang in there, and I hope that things turn around for you soon, so that you have a reason to believe your best days are still to come.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
