I can absolutely relate to everything you wrote that I could have written it myself!

@bean Hope your doing ok. I get a little relief knowing there is someone out there who can relate to what I’m trying to say. Nothing worse than talking to people who just don’t get it. The pain is real. It’s immobolizing. It goes far deeper than the thoughts we have. After years of battling depression it starts to eat you up medically. Suffering with memory loss, fatigue, high blood pressure, tension headaches, low metabolism, stomach pain, the lot. Normal everyday function destroying quality of life, then to sit back and suffer in silence we witness others around us appearing to be content, happy within themselves, confident, attuned to living life, and wish that was me. Giving up the fight is real, letting it get what it wants and sooner or later telling yourself to just accept the horrible existence. I always say to myself, my brain is sick, not wired properly, without a brain that works well what hope have I got, no medication can make it right. They say happiness is from within, so why is it so damn hard to get it?
