Are you depressed? There is hope?!
Question: I just need to put this input here because I know how thousands of people here are suffering from this terrible feeling. Its a feeling of hopelessness and it really deteriorates everything in our lives. Friends, Jobs, School, and even family. Trust me, I know, I have been there for a large fraction of my life. I want to let everyone know who has depression or is feeling that way, that there is hope. You're mind may be telling you that it is hopeless and all the negative thoughts, probably even as you read this. You may be poor, doing bad in school, have an abusive past, drug user, or cutter. All that doesn't really matter, because there is hope... a cure. I know how it feels to be depressed for a long time and I wish I had more hope and encouragement during my depression. I had a bad past, social problems, everything. I seeked help without meds like couceling and group therapy. Books keep your mind occupied the best imo.

There have been times where I have thought that there is no reason for me to live. But I always think of my mom. Because she has been through a lot of things in life and she is a strong woman. I think of her and I get through it. I try to put myself in her place and imagine how she would feel if I ended my life. It helps me to think of someone that I cherish and love.
I found the following information. Hope you find it useful. Cheer up!
Thanks but in my experience it was simply a chemical imbalance and not a choice at all. As soon as I got on the right medications I felt so much better. I felt alive again!
I do very much agree though with the goals, and the keeping fit. You do feel better about yourself when you are looking after yourself.
Well done!
I use the things that make me depressed to give me strength. I work out, read books and do anything that can better myself.
