Depressed

Depressed

Hi. My name is Alex. I am very deppressed and feel lonely all the time. I'm 25 in a few days and I've never had a girlfriend. I've been on dating apps for a long time but I haven't really had any dates. I feel very unattractive all the time. Sometimes I just pray I die of a heart attack or something. I really don't want to live anymore. Nothing is interesting. I have no motivation to do even small things. I think everybody knows I'm a loat cause. Nothing helps. I keep going up doses on my antidepressant but it's not helping. I'm hoping to try transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy soon. It will probably use up all my savings. I know that I crave physical touch. I'm not sure how normal that is. Every day someone says something that makes me feel more deppressed. I actually had a coping mechanism but my brother cut that off. I've also felt very stigmatized. I'm thinking of sueing people that stigmatized me. At least it will feel like I'm standing up for myself. But I'm worried the whole process will make more depressed. I'm just not sure how much longer i can go in this world. I have been seeing therapists but i honestly think they just make me feel worse

Re: Depressed

Hi Alex, I'm sorry you're struggling. I haven't had a relationship either but personally it doesn't bother me. I hope you find someone who is a good match for you.

I'm sure you're not unattractive. Best of luck with everything, take care. @Alex32redden

Re: Depressed

Hi @Alex32redden ,

I'm sorry you've been unable to get through to the Help Centre today. It's so great to see you are reaching out for support and our Counsellors are certainly there to listen from 10am to 10pm every day. It may have been a particularly busy time when you called or there may have been a timing conflict preventing you to get through at that point in time, but I have spoken to the Counsellors since and they have given you a ring. Please do call again when it is convenient and someone will certainly make sure you are reached.

Kindest regards,

Otter

Re: Depressed

Terrible. I don't have any support from anyone. This world is crazy. I never fit in anywhere here. I'm sueing everyone that stigmatised me and then I'm out of this crazy world. Can't believe the values of people in this patronising and narcissistic world

Sorry to hear you're back in a very bad space @Alex32redden . I can hear how angry you're feeling.

I saw on your previous posts that you were planning on starting transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy soon, and that you have a good GP who you were going to get a referral to a new psychiatrist from. How are those things going?

Re: Depressed

They gave me referrals to people with revirws saying that they were narcissists. I hate narcissists. I've had to deal with a lot of them and psychiatry attracts that breed of people because people who like 'achievement' are attracted to the medical field. Not the people who actually want to help people

Re: Depressed

Hi there @Alex32redden

I can see that you hold a particularly strong opinion about psychiatrists but I am sure that there are lots of psychiatrists who do want to help people. Helping people can be a great way to 'achieve' in life I reckon.

take care
