I'm having the same feeling as you. But sadly ,there're no lake or pool around here,so I can't sink... Anyway,I think It'd be better if we talk together. Can we ?
I'm really bad at English .Sorry if I say anything wrong...
Hope you'd feel better =)

Dear @icecream13, Your kindness andhelping others is really awesome. I'm glad the Solomon presentation was helpful to you; I hope to check it out soon.
Up above, I posted some info for Alyssa that you might like as well. The self-guided courses are pretty good, I think.
All the best to you!!
Dear Alyssa, @SolitaryShadow,
I'm glad you reached out here and sharedyour feelings. Depession is draining and awful --butyou're not alone!
I don't know if you've requested a one-to-one chat with a listener, but it can be very helpful when you're feeling depressed and isolated. Thelink below goes to a page where you can access a 1-1 listener and also take aself-guided course on depression.

I don't know what to do. It's consuming me and I want it to stop. It's all around me and I'm trapped. I feel like I'm drowning every day.
Dear@solitaryshadow, I am so sorry you're experiencing these overwhelming emotions. I know it feels like drowning, and like being stuck in a terrible place and you can't get out. And you just want the pain to stop. I hope you'll consider requesting a 1-to-1 chat with an individual listener. It isn't good to be alone when you're feeling this way.
Or call a friend. Reach out to someone. Consider seeing a professional therapist or physician to get some additional care.Life doesn't have to be this way. It's possible to feel better . . . alotbetter. My heart goes out to you.
