Does it feel like you are in your own little bubble world? I know for me it is like that. Whenever I see happy people it hurts so much. The deep contrast that I feel from it just scrapes away at me. Sometimes I get so down I have this constant inner dialogue with myself. I can be walking in the mall just relaxing and then the voice comes in saying "Why am I here? What am I living for?". I can have that voice and try to smile but it takes so much out of me. I just want the crap to stop. I want to be free. I dont want to constantly keep thinking of the best way to kill myself so it doesnt hurt. Im trying to get away from all pain because right i feel it acutely. I have a therapist and a psychiatrist and will start going to support groups. When that voice gets strong i lay down in bed and hope i dont get up and do something. What do I do about this? It hurts.

You are doing the right things. Having a therapist and psychiatrist is the best first step. Talking aboutr your pain is so important.
I have had depression for over 23 yrs. but I have been on good meds to help me. And I have had a therapist off and on.
I'm also on some online support groups. I will leave you some web addresses.
Continue to take care of yourself.Keep talking to people you feel like you can trust and will listen.

well your lucky, at least your voice is asking questions, mine just points out how much better other people have it. i have a front row seat at watching other peoples luck unfold. depression hasn't swallowed me whole, it's taking it's time. i wish it would have swallowed me whole, i could have gotten it out of the way. i'm going into my 12th year of feeling like ****. it's like i'll be walking through a field, i hit a wall; well i've been getting over these for years, this has to be the last one, it's the tallest so far. now i want to believe the grass is greener on the other side. so i make it over the wall, i don't let it stop me; turns out there's a brush fire on the other side. i know it hurts, but as long as you can take pain, life will keep applying it. your attitude is what plays the major role; how do you react? the only person that can truly make you happy is yourself. the hard part is accepting that.

Go to those support groups for sure. You'll be surprised how many people feel like you do. Try and get out of your 'self' thinking. Maybe you can help someone else. Do that whenever the opportunity comes up. We're all here for a reason. Be strong!
And don't be afraid of meds for your problem.
