I have just read your anonymous posting about the mother who wants to die.

I know exactly how she feels, I am a father of two young children and a wonderful wife, who has put up with my depression for the last 2 years. I just feel so empty inside. I feel there is a black cloak surrounding me and weighing me down, it is like everything I see and touch is just grey. The pain inside just keeps getting harder to bear with each minute of every day. I don’t want to go to bed at night as I know I am just going to have to face another day of pain and, when the morning comes, I just don’t want to get out of bed. I have been in therapy before and I thought I had learned some techniques that could help me. But I am going down the same road as I did before, only now it seems even longer and darker. I want to die so strongly, and each day these feelings get stronger and stronger. I have no friends to turn to. The ones I had have all turned their back on me, even my so-called best friend of 30 years, whom I have known since I was 10, just turned around and walked out my life without even saying goodbye. I sincerely hope the mother is still with us and has found some help. I have given up!

You sound like a strong enough person to me. You shouldn’t give up because there are still people who relie on you and need you. I really hope you don’t consider thinking about something like suicide because if you do, then you will leave a big mess behind you and will cause your loved ones to suffer. Just take some time to yourself every once in a while to clear your head. You don’t need any friends to help you with anything, they may make you feel better but you can relie on your own inner strenght to do anything. All you can do is your best, for it’s the only thing people can ask from you. Just don’t give up because there is always a better way of doing things, may not be easier but it will get you through.
