> every day i get gradually more and more depressed..last night i realized that i feel numb, overwhelmed, irritable, and unable to handle life's pressures (i felt all of that before, but to an overwhelming degree now).
(((Amy))) I wish I could give you some of my joy right now. It's really hard to imagine being depressed like you are. It must be extremely difficult to handle. You are strong though, strong enough to help me when you were depressed yourself. I'm sure things will start to turn around for you. You deserve all the very best.
> i now realize that getting something for depression needs to be my first priority. i think about suicide constantly.
It's good that you realize your priorities...you need to take extra good care of yourself right now. Please believe that life is never hopeless, you never know what is behind the corner. Your feelings are valid though. You only want the pain to stop right? I wish I could share some of your pain right now...but I can't. You're very strong, you've been through so much. I know you can overcome this. Don't be too hard on yourself.
> my zest for life or any evidence of that is gone. my thinking processes..gone. desire to live also nil. i am not myself.It's ok to feel these things. It's only natural to feel these feeling after going through what you've gone through. You are still here though, and as long as you live, things can always change for the better.
> thanks for listening. just needed to share that. i hesitate to write these kinds of posts..really don't want to bring anyone down.
I'm privileged to be able to hear your story. Write anything you can to...we are willing to listen. ((((Amy))))
all the best
