I'm so depressed today. I feel so alone. I don't want to be here anymore. I just wish I could go to sleep and not wake up. The good thing is I have an appointment with my therapist today. The bad thing is it's not for a few more hours. I don't know what to do.. I can't stand feeling like this.

Go take a walk. Go to a park, and watch kids play. Go to a mall and people-watch.

Get out of your head!

K - is there anything you can watch to escape reality right now? I like to go to my favorite shows/movies and it will allow me to escape my current situation and forget myself for a while. Give it a shot?? The movie theatre is very good for this type of escape, for me at least. The lights go out and the sounds drown out whatever is going on in my life. It has to be a good movie, of course, though.

K-

How're you feeling since seeing your therapist?


Are you taking medications too? If so, when do you see your Dr next?

Anything going on in life triggering this or it's something chronic you struggle with?

Post back with us when you can. I'm pretty sure all of us can relate to your current struggles, at different times in our lives. There is light at the end of tunnel- it's there beyond the darkness & as long and you keep trying, you WILL find it!

The other suggestions are perfect to get out of your head for healthy distractions. If you haven't lately, please check our depression resources at the top of this forum.

We are here to support & encourage you through this rough patch!

Sending peace-

Yes, how are you after seeing your therapist? If we don't here from you, we can only suppose he sent you inpatient, which is not a bad thing.

These dark thoughts are hard to deal with, but that are just emotions and can be controlled. Trust me I know, I do it!

Peace

Sorry for responding so late. I didn't realize that anyone had replied to my post. Anyway, I'm doing better - it helped seeing my therapist. I realize now what got me in such a bad state was all started by a comment a "friend" made. I say "friend" but I don't think this person really is a "friend". Anyway.. he says I was thinking with my emotional brain and not my "thinking" brain.. LOL.. but I think he is right.

Depression is still an everyday struggle for me. Especially at this time of the year. I feel alone a lot because I don't really have a lot of family left and I long for that traditional family... you know.. a loving mother & father.. something I never had. I've also been isolating which is absolutely the worst thing I can do. So my therapist encouraged me to reach out to my friends (real friends). So that is my goal this week.

:)

Oh.. and thanks for the feedback & understanding

Reaching out to "real" friends is important. I don't know what I would do without mine.

I am so happy you are feeling better. Remember we are all a work in progress.

Keep hanging in there, you are doing a "super" job!!!

Hugs, Karen...
