Depression has screwed up my life. - Help.com

Depression has screwed up my life.

It has made cutting my life line, exercise my drug and I can’t get out. I hate my life, I hate who I am and I truly want to die, but you know what, I won’t try and kill myself. And you want to know why? I’m scared. Not scared that it will work, but scared that it won’t. I’m seriously screwed up.

I have a psychologist, but she’s new so she doesn’t understand yet

No, I’m not, I’m guessing my pscychologist will put me on some soon though, she’s understood me more in one week than my counsellor did in a couple of months.

This is going to sound weird and probably not make allot of sense; you’re scared of failing, that’s what’s keeping you alive & that’s a bad place to be.. I know I always dislike this part but; what about some hope? Some sparkle that someday it may be OK just to be alive? That someday the pain and suffering will end and you can wake up without bandages & things you need to do?

I really want you to be OK.. so, err.. hope..

Good to hear you found a psychologist that might be able to help, that’s something to hold onto, right?

Stay strong *hugs* Siggy.

Yes, I’m scared of failing … but to me, that’s normal. I’ve always been that way and I’ll probably never change. I don’t really see what’s bad about it. A fear of failure just means I keep trying to be perfect.

I like any type of music really, unless the tune is rubbish or the lyrics aren’t very good.

You’re right that online friends aren’t the same as real ones … they’re better. Don’t give up … you make it sound easy to carry on fighting.

you know it’s all about will
oce in life we should say it’s just as easy to say as done… and maybe it would work.. cause I always say it’s easier said then done… but how could anything work if I always run away from them, and never see things in a positive way
mind has some tricky games.. guess this is one of them
as I said.. if you need me, you know where to find me

How do you get the will in the first place? I’ve tried, but I can’t do it, so I’ve given up. How do I get the will back?

well.. itt depends..
depresiion can be like a self harm after a while..
you’re afraid of not feeling anything so you better feel down.. and even you enjoy having strong emotions.
the willyou can get back.. saying that you wnat to change things..
write a list with what you’d like to change in your life.. then find a way for it..
if there’s the will, you can make it
just never give up dear ..

My fiancé died on March 2nd of this year. I know about depression and suicidal thoughts very well. He had struggled with cancer and was making a comeback when he caught pneumonia which is what basically ended his life. I did not get off of my couch for 4 months. I was counting pills b/c suicidal thoughts were running rampant. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat, couldn’t talk to people, and just basically stopped living. I finally went to the doctor and it turned out that my anxiety medication had just stopped working pretty much overnight after 5 years. He put me on a new one and gave me a sedative type drug that enabled me to get up off the couch without feeling like the world was ending and then day by day, sometimes minute by minute, things have started to feel a little better. Depression of any kind is not an overnight fix. I wish it was. Just make sure you are talking to a professional and I suggest a physician also. There are some medical conditions that can bring on depression that you would never even know about. I just joined, and I know you posted this awhile ago, but I hope you are feeling a little better and maybe have gotten some help in the mean time.
