I’ve learned today that my life will never change, unless i address my mental problems.

Sometimes i feel like i have no value, that my life is meaningless. For the past few years i have felt this dark cloud hanging over my head and saddness boring into my heart. It feels like it’s getting stronger as the years go by. Now it’s gotten to the point where im sad for at least 24 hours at a time. I’ve lost some weight in the past few months because i’ve lost much of my appetite. I feel like i can’t go to my family because i don’t think they’ll understand. I don’t have any healthcare or money, so i don’t know how im gonna pay for the help or medication. But something has to be done. I can’t go on living this way, if this keeps up i don’t know if i want to be around for my 25th birthday.

Why don’t you share everything,your problems with your family members? The closest family member.Discussion cures many problems.If depression is the problem then you can go to psychologists,they have much better better ways to remove depression. Depression may become very dangerous with time.So,why not discussing with some family member & see a doctor? God bless you.

I think talking about this and changing your routine might be really helpful to you. I hope you feel better soon.

The biggest problem in dealing with people with depression is that so many of them have absolutely no desire to help themselves. You can have all the meds in the world, and all the therapy in the world, but unless you really want to rejoin the family and the human race, none of those things will be of any avail.

ASK your wife for her help in getting you back on track. SHOW her that you want to be a fully functioning partner again!

It’s unfair to both her and to you for you to stew in your depression and not take action. See your local mental health association, as Nolateri says, and check out Zirbel’s links.

Sorry, but I don’t give out passes for dropping out of life–and neither does anyone else, either!
