Feel help: Do you think that some people can’t be helped? - Help.com

Do you think that some people can’t be helped?

I’ve been depressed for a good while now. No matter what I try, I’m not getting any better. I’m still upset and miserable all the time. I have a therapist, but I can’t even tell her whats on my mind.

I feel like I’m at the end of my rope and not sure how much longer I can hold on. I can’t keep going on pretending to be happy. It hurts way too much.

Answering to the post main question…

Only ppl who don’t believe they can’t change, can’t be changed…

There are only two cures for depression, 1) drugs, 2) positive action on your part. You need to get up and get moving, do something to create that good positive feeling we all crave.

i can so relate…but you have to believe you can change, and get better. having a non positive attitude wont help you get better.

If you can t even talk to your therapist, you my friend are in deep waters…..First and foremost, you must trust this person who you are to confide in. Its like talking to your best friend. So if you can t trust this therapist, choose another own, its your choice!! And for starter, what ever problems you have or think you have. STOP THE DWELLING, cause it like the eye of a hurricane. you keep on swirling and swirling to the pitts of it. Instead wake up in the morning and just say thank you, I had a nice sleep in a nice bed of sofa, but at least you slept!!! You must focus on small things around you that are good. You ate something during your day? THANK YOU. You received mail (good or bad)THANK YOU. If you start slowly like that, you will be making a shift in your brain that will do the opposite of what the eye of the hurricane does. So instead of going down, you ll be going up. You must percevere in your actions. And besides we always think that we are alone and unworthy. SORRY BUT WHERE NOT Just the fact that you are here now is of great importance, maybe not to you, but to others, like me, for example. If nobody ever told you, well YOU ARE SPECIAL.

Do you have any family close that you can talk with? It helps to have someone that you can talk to or do things with.

I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been there, I am there. Try to talk to your therapist. I found it really hard at first when I was younger (and had a GOOD therapist) but after a few times I realized that it helped quite a bit. Everyone can be helped. You just need to want it more than anything. You can do it. Don’t ever quit.

Lose that therapist. Try Dianetics. And If you don’t want to help yourself, try helping others. Just interest yourself in other’s people problems and try to solve it. Your depression will dissapear magickly. But try first interest yourself in Dianetics.

You sound just like me… I used to feel like I couldn’t go on and there were times that I tried not to but everybody has a place in this world. I don’t believe anybody is beyond help. You just have to believe in yourself, depression does not go away easily… if there’s something that really gets you down and causes you to have constant breakdowns and moments where you don’t feel like you can go on, work as hard as you can to change those things first, believe in yourself!!!!! I never felt like there was anybody that I could talk to because telling people what I feel could get me committed and I always felt like I was being a burden because everybody has their own problems… you know what?! I was wrong… you should always find one person that you can trust with everything you need to say… If you need to talk ever, I will be there for you always… it doesn’t help to keep everything inside, getting it out is the best therapy you can get… like I said, I will be here for you whenever you need to vent or talk or anything… good or bad. I have been through it all and I know it’s a very difficult road but you’re worthy of your future. Keep telling your problems that the future started yesterday and they’re already late!!! Smile because you made it and you have the chance to make your dreams a reality!
