Very depressed

I am feeling really depressed and feel like I don't want to live this life anymore, if it was not for my daughter I would not be here. There is no hope for me

@Mn12 I am sorry to hear you feel so bad. I can understand how you feel. I am glad you have your daughter. I feel like that daily but I am fifty years now. I started feeling like that since childhood. But there are unexpected happiness. May be it will get better for you..I was sexually abused by my father as a child and worse in my twenties then he died but the after effects stayed with me. Wish I can just forget him completely.

Hi @Mn12,

Its truly amazing the love we have for our children isn't it. I find it so hard to put into words.
I'm sorry you are feeling this way and I'm so glad to here that you have a daughter who gives you such strength. Here to listen if you need.

All the best.

@Mn12 I’m really sorry you are feeling so bad.

I was wondering if you see a counsellor/psych ? Someone who could offer some support. Your gp is the place to start the process.

We are here and listening. You are not alone.

Hi, don't give up on life, I've had family take their lives and it's an empty lonely feeling. You know how much love you have for your daughter, she has that love for you. Life is difficult every day, stay here, you were born to be in this world, we are a family of earth beings, never give up, alway remember you are a perfect expression of love.

Re: Very depressed

That's terrible to hear. Hope is a powerful thing and it is so natural to think of the future but relying on hope means that thoughts are on the future instead of the present.

Maybe ask yourself if every day is the same or are there better and worse days. Some days it's just enough to make it through the day and that's ok.

Maybe think of something that you like to do and reward yourself. If energy is low then maybe even turning on the TV and watching something informative. I find channel sbs often has shows where you learn interesting things.

Exercise is also an interesting one. Sometimes the thought of it, and even during it, is unpleasant but afterwards it often helps to feel better.

Thinking of you 🙂
