I think I've reached the end. I get absolutely no pleasure out of anything. I've been on anti depressants for nearly 20 years and they don't help any more. Even if they did, I don't see the point of life, it's not going to last anyway. I don't want to go on like this.
Preshy2.... Don't get down on ur self and don't give up. We have all been there. I'm all ears if u wanna talk. There is light at the end of the tunnel . u have support here.
I know, thank you but I have no energy or enthusiasm for anything. I eat all the time, even when I'm not hungry and all my doctor did was send me to a therapist who told me what I already knew. I don't know how to approach the subject with my doctor.
hi preshy im sorry to see how down you are please dont think of doing.anything to yourself ! im sure there are people who would miss you ! ive been suffering from depression for sometime and have had dark thoughts two the point that i contemplated harming myself but.a family member talked me round and im forever grateful to her for taking the time to care when shes got here own problems with depression i didnt think anyone would miss me but how wrong i was ! so please consider those around you who i think would miss you ! please take care if you would like to message me please do !
I know what you mean and if it wasn't for the fact that I promised my son I would never harm myself, I wouldn't be here. I just don't know how long I can keep my promise. My kids put up with a lot because of my depression, they would honestly be better off if I wasn't around, they would get over it and be free from my constant black mood.
Preshy2, please listen, most of us have been their and believe me I know how hard it is, what helped me was getting my little dog, she is great company and always so pleased to be with me. I have a family and at times not even they have kept me alive. Please go back to see your Dr they maybe able to change your medication. I too have putt on weight and a little companion helps with sharing and exercise. We are here to help, take care Tracey xx
Thank you, I will go back to my doctor and see if anything can be done. I have two dogs and I walk them on the beach every day. It doesn't help me as I see it as a chore, not the fun it used to be,
You really do seem sad bless you. Yes please go back. Do you work or have any family ?
My company sacked me when I took time off after my marriage broke up about six months ago. I have two teenagers who put up with a lot.
preshy im sorry but why would they be better off if as you say im sure your son would miss you so the first thing to do is to have a serious heart to heart and tell your son how you feel i doubt he will be angry but will be more supportive that you think ! pick up the phone and get the next chapter of your life started and let your son you love him ! take care and best of luck david
I'm not surprised your feeling that way if your marriage has just ended and you have lost your job, that is two traumatic events in a short period of time, be kind to yourself and take time out to rest and look after yourself, try and get lots of nice fresh air with your two companions and go back to your gp, tell them your not coping and see if they can offer you some counselling.

I will, thank you x
Take care you know where I am if you need to chat x
Thank you
I was at the same point 6 months ago. Now I have found a new Antidepressant cocktail that works really well for me and I am almost back to my old self.
Dont give up! Go see your GP. Ask to see a psychiatrist.
AD's tend to "poop" out or lose their effectiveness over time.
There will be something else that will help you! Promise!
Really, they stop working? That's unbelievable. You'd think your doctor would know that and see you every six months or so. I'm going to call for an appointment tomorrow, but I don't really know how to say they've stopped working, other than to just say it. He'll ask how I know, and I really don't know what to say. My brain is very sluggish and I don't sleep till at least 4am every morning. He tried to send me to a therapist, but how can talking help? I know what I need to change in my life, but I'm so exhausted all the time, I don't have the energy.
And exactly how would your son 'get over' your suicide? It would haunt him the rest of his life and he would forever be saying 'if only' Do you want that for him? It would put a very painful place in his heart forever. If you want that - go ahead. x
Hi iv had depression for 24 years and I never talked about it to anyone not even really the psyc..moly recently I have started to talk about things I won't say it always helps but it goes a little way to showing you why you feel the way you do and sometimes the reasons.good luck
Hi
all of us have felt like this. I know it's no comfort. I felt that this morning. Mirtazapine makes me sweat and my nightdress is soaked with water, yet I'm cold and shivering. I have constant agitation, depression and now recently Parkinsonism. There are days I wish I could close me eyes. But you're putting a terrible responsibility on whoever finds you. Would you want your son, for example, to find you and to have to live with that?
Try to hang on in there.
best wishes
Nessie
Whats making you so deppressed?
