hi jerry,
remember me? :) sorry things haven't improved for you. what meds are you taking? (if you don't want to talk about this again, it's ok.) maybe it would help to know that you're not alone. i've been feeling the same way. angst, despair, and boredom are everpresent lately. i also had serious suicidal feelings recently, as i am in a no-win constant miserable situation that has been ongoing for a long time. but recently there has been a strength that has taken over, a stubbornness to not give up. it sounds like you might feel this strength, too, right now. i know how bad things can get.
something that has helped me a little has been to just try and put your mind on something else, something enjoyable, something beautiful. can you try and distract yourself in some way, if even for a moment?
i am currently feeling unloved, unliked, and with nothing to sustain me. so i am right there with you. i promise.
don't be scared of your courage, jer. keep it up. there is nothing more admirable than going on when you're afraid and downtrodden..i admire you. you are achieving something great just by being alive. try and remind yourself of this every day..put it on your mirror, or better yet, maybe the phrase "I am a hero" would be better.
love,
amy
