Depression (not a post for sympathy & attention, just venting)

Depression (not a post for sympathy & attention, just venting)

I always seem to have moods that fluctuate - I could be feeling ok, or content, then I get depressed, or vice versa. No reason behind it most of the time. Yes I have a Psychiatrist and am on meds. And no this post isn't for attention and sympathy, just needed to vent I guess.

It just seems like whatever I do and say and how much I try to be a good person and support people, I'm not good enough and am left out - there's always people better. I'm a failure. I try my best.

I'm just worthless and many other negative things, sigh.

@Former-Member I'm talking to KHL on the webchat now. I just feel like I shouldn't be here (alive)

Sorry for worrying everyone and being this way @outlander @Zoe7

@outlander thank you and I'm talking to KHL on the webchat yes. Might try Lifeline too later. I can never get through to Suicide Call Back Service. eHeadspace will tell me to leave because I used them last week sometime.

Good @Former-Member chat to them now then get back to us later.

I can hear what you are saying but it is the constant saying of the same thing when everyone has told you otherwise that is unnecessary. You are wanted and welcomed here so moving on as you have said you have done needs to be backed up by not constantly bringing it up. I know those feelings will not go away straight away but putting yourself in the same position as last night would not be good for you or anyone - so I encourage you to keep connecting with the people you have been, keep talking about your feelings about life in general and gain the support you need to talk through that.
