you no when u have been feeling shit and depressed and like ur life has no meaning and theres no point n getten outta bed everyday. do you stay like that forever or does it finally pass and u become happy eventully?
I have been in a dark hole like you are in now - several times in my life. Probably different circumstances, but I'm pretty sure the dark hole was just as dark. As dark as things seem right now, IT DOES GET BETTER. You need to get help and be in face-to-face contact with someone who will listen to what concerns you and what is making you feel so helpless and worthless. Face-to-face, in-person contact, is very important and you are wise to seek the advice of a physician on going on an anti-depressant (I have and it helped me get through the darkest part and gave me a chance to sort things out a bit). Please know that no matter how much you try to convince yourself of the opposite, your life IS WORTHWHILE and you must find the strength to fight whatever forces in your life are making you feel that you are worthless. It is easy to give up - I almost did on more than one occasion - but you are worth more than that! You will be in my thoughts. Please let us know how the visit with the doctor went!
I was on an antidepressant for two years, and it helped to pull me out of a dark place I'd fallen into.
Without that drug, I don't know where I'd be right now. Surferboi .. be honest with your doctor and
tell him how bad it is. Ask him if he thinks an antidepressant will help. I was reluctant to try a drug
as I'd heard antidepressants had strong side-effects, but it turns out the newer ones have few side-
effects (not serious ones.) and can really help.
[ i really do feel im in such a deep hole rite now that i wont ever be able to get myself out of. ]
Trust me .. from someone who has been there ... YES. YOU. WILL. You will get past this.
Find a counsellor, shrink, or even a good friend to vent your feelings to. Oh .. and get out of the house/apartment more often. Sitting at the PC only adds to the feelings of being lonely and isolation.
Go to a local pool, community center .. meet a few new friends.
All the best.
