My Depression is overtaking whoever I once was, I'm just Depression

I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder along with having fibromyalgia for years now. I started the migraines in my early twenties and had to give myself injections until a pill was available. I really truly don't want to be here another day and that sounds selfish I know. I respect life and have two loving parents in their late 70's and a daughter who got married last year. I'm so grateful to have a roof over our head and food to eat. But this dark sad hurting body feels defeated and I can't give back what I want too.

    i’m so sorry you are feeling this way. You need some support right now. Have you ever spoken with a counselor about this? depression is a terrible thing to go through but there is a lot of help out there. If you ever need to talk to somebody , There is a confidential phone number in the US at 800-273-8255. Call anytime day or night. To talk to someone who could help you and provide some resources.i’m sure you are very loved by your parents and your daughter. Just try to take one day at a time and get that support that you need. Most communities have help and resources and so do a lot of churches. They have very often free counseling.

    you are not defeated. You are going through hard times but things can get better! Don’t ever ever give up! Be a fighter for yourself and for your family. And let us know how you are doing. we are here for you ❤
