Struggling

Hey friends! I've been struggling with depression for a while now, and it seems to be getting worse. I'm getting councilling and I'm on medication but I'm still feeling as though everything and everybody is trying to knock me down! Recently my thoughts of suicide and self harm seem to be coming back and the activities that used to help don't seem to distract me so much anymore. I'm just wondering if anyone else is struggling with this, and how do I get back on my feet. I really am determined to recover from this, I want to be happy. I just don't know how!! Sometimes I just want a few words of encouragement, problem is, there isn't many people I feel like I can go to for that. Other times I feel completely hopeless and that no one will ever see past my depression.

Please help, Santa will bring you all sorts of gifts if you do!

creatureofthenight, i usually find out if i come here and talk to a listener, that a lot of times, i feel better afterwards. sometimes i might ask if theyre battling things or if i dont notice the flag from where theyre from, or something they use as their picture and a lot of times we both end up talking about these things and it really helps. thats just something that works for me.
