Today is a really hard day, I feel so low. I can't see the point if it's going to be like this, if I didn't have any get up I would have stayed in bed. I feel so alone,  and that I'm just here to help others and nothing in return. I'm confused today, would love to just disappear or it to be over. Nothing in my life is good. I know what I need to do but don't have any Inner strength or energy.

    Can totaly relate to your situation, was only a week or so ago that I was felling pretty much the same way, now starting to feel a whole lot better.

    My point being that the dark times do get better, may take a while but you can get through it.

    Take care..

    Stay Strong you have people on here and probably around that you that will get you thru this

    I just been reading a story on a link I was given by counselling service and the article is quite intresting and goes to show that alot of people are suffering

    As we all know from the press, 'Blue Monday' that has recently passed, may be considered the unhappiest day of the year, but for some people, depression is a daily problem.

    [The word 'depression is Googled every two seconds]As the world prepared itself for the unhappiest day of the year (‘Blue Monday’ on January 19th 2015) the article explains how the Priory Group uncovered some shocking new statistics which reveal just how prevalent mental health problems are.

    The statistics show that in the UK alone, the word ‘depression’ is searched online 27 times a minute. This means someone is Googling the term every two seconds.

    ‘Stress’ and ‘anxiety’ are also highly searched, with the former being typed into the search engine 22 times a minute and the latter 21 times.

    On average, a staggering 1,171,770 searches are made in the UK every month around ‘depression’, 939,820 around ‘stress’ and 907,620 around ‘anxiety’.

    Furthermore, in 2014 49,500 searches were made by people wanting to take a test to determine whether or not they were showing signs of depression.

    These findings have come to light following recent figures from the Office of National Statistics which show that sickness absence due to depression, stress and anxiety equates to more than 15 million working days per year.

    According to Dr Jeanette Downie – the deputy medical director and consultant psychiatrist at Priory Hospital in Glasgow – these figures are a stark reminder of the stigma around mental health, which is leading people to turn to the Internet for help rather than seek professional help.

    So you not alone and there are more people that understand your pain than you think.

      I look after my parents as mum has terminal illness, I work and look after her, I don't go out, and find it easier to be on my own anyways. I Find it hard to be positive.

      You are an angel not a failure. Your courage is something that is a huge positive, I guess its hard for you to see it with such a low mood. Your are one of the better people that just gets on with it, what do you do for a living ?

      I work in a office, admin supervisor, had a new boss in sept and she has also put a lot of pressure on. Ive worked there for 20years and many of my staff have been with me for over 10 years., but now find it diffcult to go in, it's not my guys but the boss. I have pressure at home and work now, there is no escape.

    Hi Failure

    i can completely understand where you are at. There are many times I've felt like you do and its so so hard to pull yourself out of it and feel like getting out of bed will be worth it. I find that a hot shower helps, don't think any further than that. Jus a nice hot shower and take it from there. I wish you all the best x

      Great Advice and as daft as it sounds you have to actively do something which give you time to relax your mind. albeit for the period you may be in the shower.
