In need of hope..
Depression Support / by River321

...See more Hello reader.  I have been depressed on and off for a couple years but recently things have been especially difficult and I feel like I'm sinking further and further into a place of hopelessness. It's getting harder for me to stay positive. To be honest even the effort to be positive seems too much lately. I am slowly pushing people away and giving into believing that all I am is a burden and I can feel myself trying to just "shut out the world" completely. I know that I'm not alone in feeling this way and yet the knowing just isn't enough to help get me through it. I feel like depression is robbing me of my youth and I just want to get back on my feet again.. to a place where I believe in myself again.  Anyway, thanks for taking the time to listen reader.  -S

...See more I'm feeling at a complete loss lately. Despite receiving support from family and friends, skills and encouragement from my therapist, I feel like I'm only sinking deeper and deeper into depression. None of the positivity seems to be getting through to me, still I keep seeking it hoping that today, it will be different.  My confidence was strong at one point that I could overcome this on my own and I felt that I was doing a good job at staying mindful of my emotions and recognizing that they will pass. Somewhere along the way it feels like that confidence was shattered and now the feeling of loneliness gets to me more than it ever has. I have been reading through my old journals and trying to focus on rediscovering my core values in hopes that I can find inspiration to believe in myself again. I'm trying to find the strength to push through the plaguing feeling of disconnection.
