Sometimes it feels like?!


Question:

Sometimes it feels like?

there is nothing to live for! I will admit firstly that i suffer with depression, i see a counsellor, who is off at the moment and i have been attending my doctor weekly but i don't live, i just exisit, i try to eat ok, sleep the right amount, get myself out of the house to do normal things but everything seems pointless. I know it's probably just a bad day for me. My doc said to ring during the week if things were too hard to cope with, but sure what could she do except put me in hospital, for fear of self harm?
I don't know what my question is but i know there's many people here that suffer with depression, do you have any words of wisdom??

I have rang the samaritans, text and email them. i cannot ring often as i am not home alone and confiding in family is not an option.

thanks. please don't answer insensitively, is it really worth hurting people's feelings for the sake of 2 points?

Answers:

You have not specified your age, but from the way you write and express yourself you seem to be pretty mature person. I wonder why you are suppressing the urge to spring out and blossom. Just look around you or seek out persons who are so unfortunate that they need someone around them sometimes. If you can contribute some time, your smile, the touch of your warm hand on to theirs, I promise you, the happiness you will see in their faces will drive your depression miles away. What you need is a little acknowledgement from somebody of your presence and your worth.

Everybody suffers from depression at some point in their lives. But every person handles his or her depression differently. Remember, the more positive you begin to think, the less depressed you will get. for starters, stop using phrazes lit "it is pointless", "I dont live I just exist" and so on. Remember also that there are many options a person has in any situation - good, bad and ugly. Recognise and accept the best option and go with it. Stop feeling bad about everything. Open your eyes and see how beautiful the flowers, the sunshine, the ocean and the nature in general, are. Learn to enjoy little things and spend more time with things that give you peace.

Good luck to you dear person.
