Can't cope with depression much longer.

I'm losing sight of what I want to be, which in itself is a blur. My motivation is based on a mere whim. I try to be an ambitious person but can't quite find my calling.

 

Have you ever felt so sad everything around you appears bleak? Even the most beautiful things. I can't get up to go to look for work any more, I can't imagine going back to school, when I was enrolled I didn't want to leave bed. I've been burying feelings of depression for years now, and I'm only 19. It's so hard to explain how it feels, like your cold inside, but at the same time your not. I'm sick. Feels ominous, in the gut of your soul, swallowing you up by the minute.

 

I'm fighting a losing battle. I keep trying because my parents care, and my brother and sister do too. I don't want them to feel anguish over myself letting go, but it hurts so much. I can't feel anything else. I want to let go and feel nothing. I don't have the money for therapy, and my parents are struggling enough, I don't want to have to ask them for it, and add the knowledge of my struggle to their list of concerns.

 

I need someone to say something, anything that will help me. I can hardly type this properly. Life can be so nice, but that's honestly what scares me the most, the potential of it all, you know?

 

I can't quite reach a point of contentedness, and that feeling entrenched in me, it keeps saying to just give up and leave this place.

Ask yourself this question. What is great about your life now? If you say nothing... What could you be great about your life right now? Ask intent of getting answers. If you come up a list then you should write them down. Now do this on a daily basis and you will change your attitude.
