Isn't a good place to be and over the years have seen some tragedies , thankfully its a different world today and no taboo with mental health anymore.You have recognised you aren't coping well with depression etc. Contact a professional would be my advice and shouldn't be hard to do either via your gp or via www agencies. The human brain is just a body part like any other if you are recognising its just not right then thats a great start to get it sorted. All the best

Goodness me, it's a horrible thing to wake up every day with that crushing feeling bearing down on you. It gets so difficult at times that you can't see the wood for the trees. I'm really sorry you're struggling with it. There's no shame in it at all, it affects so many more people than we'll ever know, and it's always good to exorcise some of the demons by talking about it, no matter the forum or audience.

All I can say is that given time the pressure will ease and things will start to look up. The best advice I ever got was to try to do something positive every day, doesn't matter how small, just one thing, even if it's as simple as doing a chore. Other good advice I was able to impart was never to fall back on crutches like booze or drugs, that just deepens the spiral.

I hope things improve for you soon. Take care, and please do let us know how you're getting on. If you want a private chat please feel free to contact me on my secret post here: [post 4075029]

So I guess it helps to talk for some people. Fact is, for me I dont want to talk about the reason. Its not your problem, or anyone else's issues but my own. My choices in life brought me to this point and I have to accept that, regardless of fault, I still chose to be with that person over the years... So accepting all (or partial) blame is essential for progression I suppose...

and that is why g$d created the blogs. so that one can express their fears without exposing themselves.
excepting blame is part of the problem. resolving blame is the goal

Fact is over the years I've never felt this small... Sometimes wonder what is the point. Maybe you feel the same? I dont know. I really struggle with the abuse and heart ache recently. Feeling of worthlessness grows daily and it doesn't matter what authorities or people say, it isn't helping me.

soso true the best intended words are the blades that cut the deepest. so it is left up to us to heal our own wounds... time has taught me that we are not the only ones standing alone on a mountain, that is why the world is full of mountains

What to do... How to move forward... Is it even possible? Sometimes it seems impossible.
the fear that we will be hurt prevents us from extending our hand
the trust that sometimes our hand will get slaps overrides the fear
the understanding that only by extending ones hand the ONE hand we seek will be extended to us
as women say " you have to kiss a thousand frogs before you find one prince" so i say " the hundreds that look down on me pale in compassion to the one that stands beside me"
go forward young man... one step at a time. yes you will stub your to
you will jump in pain. you will yell and curse
but you have nine more toes to hold you up...
and the one you stubbed WILL HEAL
bonne chance

there is a world of difference between insanity and stupidity

Good post... i think we all struggle from time to time, some with all the elements of your blog some with one or an other. I've struggled with anxiety since i was a teenager... i saw it then as nerves but it was more than that.
I also suffer from depression but take medication to keep me on an even keel.
I would definitely speak with a Doctor first and see what help/medication they can offer you, to at least get you over this hump and more stable.

You're not alone and if you feel you want to 'get it off your chest' blogs are a good way to do it.. sort of personal but impersonal.

Good luck x
