I feel your pain, but I want you to know as long as you are alive and breathing there is ALWAYS hope for a better life than the one you have as long as you live one day at a time. I suffer from depression too, and I know how hopeless each day can seem. But the beginning to healing is to take one very very tiny step each day towards becoming the person you want to be. These will be small steps because you will become frustrated and angry. One day circle some job ads. Make a few phone calls the next day. Besides taking these small steps every day, I highly recommend volunteer work. Try going to a local homeless shelter or a convalescent home. Just experience being with others and having the power to give of yourself to others. No matter what, nobody can take your ability to give to others away from you. Most of all, be kind and patient with yourself. Repeat every day that you are worth it. HAve you ever read this poem called Desiderata? it is wonderful, you can find it on the internet, do read it. Take care of urself and post often.
