Im so sick... I wish this diease would kill me already and leave me in peace... so tired of pills, doctors, bloods, hospitals, medical insurance and freaking chronic pain... I wish weed was legal, apprently it could cure me... but here I am suffering, cause some money greedy pharmaceutical company wont let it be legalised cause they cant patent it.... I hope u pharmaceuticals can sleep at night, knowing you are making money of sick people... also fuck insurance companies, they want your money but they never pay out... its a sick world where people take advantage of the weak and helpless...

My weight, husband, being a college graduate and not finding a job.

When I see people in happy relationships - this is a big reminder of my loneliness and how I've been single all my life. It makes me think there's something wrong with me. Also when others are able to socialize with each other so easily while I can barely talk to anyone. Being excluded is a big trigger too, it makes me feel so unloveable and unwanted. Most of my depression comes from feeling like nobody wants me around and my loneliness

@compassionateGrapefruit9565 The biggest trigger for me is around exam times and just overthinking in genereal - I tend to get myself into existential crises I can't get myself out of :/

It's the month of March and the fear of abandonment for me.

Now being 50 something with no friends, family or husband, I am concerned that I have a miserable and even more lonely future ahead, than what I have now.

Looking in the mirror is really depressing, especially as menopause stole my hair and half of my eyebrows, plus being obese.

Myself. The way I feel disappointment within myself. How I can't have a normal conversation because I feel like I don't even deserve one's time. I step on the shadow of myself on the ground, re-creating the days when I let people walk all over me. I look at someone who smiles a lot and wonder what's wrong with me. My biggest trigger though, is the way the world is.

Seeing other people with what seems like perfect lives definitely, as well as not having any friends of my own to hang out with or even anybody just to talk to about what I'm feeling. People just don't care & it hurts.

Family, food, girlfriend, going out, friends.

Family because... I think I'm not good for them.

Food... Well, I can't stand it.

Girlfriend, too much problema and that.

Going out... Too many beautiful people... I can't stand them...

Friends... They're not supportive even if I am...
