Feeling hopeless
I've had depression along with other mental disorders for at least two years now. I was bullied and mentally abused by my mother. I don't know why, but I feel really hopeless about my lie. I feel as if everything's static and boring and sad and nothing will go right ever again. I feel like...dying would be very great.
@Hydrangea03 Hydrangea, I just want you to know that I think you're quite brave for coming here and being open about this, and I'm sorry that you've had to deal with those situations. However, things will get better. That's the thing about life, sometimes it hurts. However, if you hang on, if you keep living, it has the chance to become something wonderful. You're stronger than you know, and you can make it through this! Look at the strides you've made already! You have come to 7 Cups, and you are discussing the things you've been struggling with. That's amazing!
Hi Hydrandea I can fully understand you, since I was in similar condition like you describe few years ago. Being in depresion is very bad state and stops you moving forward in your life. But also there are way of overcomig this mental situation. One of them is being present on 7cups as a community which gives support, and there are well trained listeners for active listening.
I have to share with you that I had the same feelings about the life. But I think that our life wants from us to get out of that situation and start doing things which we are able to do. You will find on this site that almost every person in his life is facing with depression, and also after some time we can realize how to cope with depression. I agree finding a way for coping is not a easy but it is very hard and time consuming process. But it is also our duty, our responsibilty, to search a way and fight depression.
I hope my experience will help somehow to you and make you think about what kind of changes are you able to implement in your life.
