I'm so depressed and suicidal, I'm tired of life already. I just turned 30 and there's nothing I have achieved at my age, no good job, no investment, no family. Been fighting life on my own since I was 16 and everyone I've met along the way has always taken advantage of my vulnerability to hurt me even more. I don't know how people have been able to figure out life, I'm loosing my mind and tired of it all

I actually feel the same way as you. I can't relate to everything, because I have a different experience, but in case you want to talk to someone neutral just pm me.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Just know that you can’t always trust your own mind when you are depressed. Cognitive behavioral therapy and Wellbutrin + Lexapro really changed my life and allowed me to gradually start loving myself more and more. It just helps you get your head above water and be able to look at things more clearly without the distorted thoughts depression can give you. Please hang in there.

Hi customer care representative. They say that good things don't happen to people like us because we are the good.
You are a bright light and that will always attract bugs.
You are so beautiful that people around you feel that they want a part of you . That's how good you are.

If you are able to watch the movie Pursuit of Happiness with Will Smith would be a good place to start.
They say that there is opportunity to be found amongst chaos .
You do have a number of things working in your favor. You are young enough to realize that sometimes it takes a hurricane to clear a path to what you were meant to do.
We are now entering into the spring and summer. That's when you could get paid for farm labour. Unloading train box cars or dishwasher. Being in a physical work environment is most beneficial.
It is us the empathy, caring,loving and understanding that carry a load of many.
The pendulum of fate swings both ways as sure as you will have bad days is as sure as you will have good days.
Henry Ford said " If you think you can or You think you can't
You are right.
It was suggested to me that I needed to soften my heart.
I was becoming as cold and calus as The people that were hurting me
Then I realized I have alot more to offer to myself and friends than I was being permitted to do.
So I changed everything that was detrimental to my well being and just stayed where I was appreciated for who I am . And that gave me a place to start.
It's not the Waldorf but it is pleasant
Some times that's all that we need is some place pleasant.

Hi, I'm 40, and still struggling. Just had to go on short term disability cuz of work related stress, and a toxic work environment.
I get it. Couple of recommendations.
1. Go see a Dr, get therapy, meds if needed. Handle the depression. Call 988 if it's really bad. Just get help.
2. Set some life goals. Doesn't matter what they are, could be find a a good partner, have kids, travel, play video games all day, be a community leader, volunteer. Just set some. Then figure out how to get there.
3. Next set professional goals (if you want them) these days the idea of being a professional is not highly saught after, so if this is a demotivator for you, don't do it.

Figure out what you want to do, and go for it.

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this.

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people. Hear me out - I moved and lived in different continents, countries every 5 years or so until now… I feel like I’m an outlier and my life is super different from anyone else’s. I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..
