Depression



It's just nuts........ Another day of feeling this way ........ No end in sight.......... Trying to get out of the deep dark black hole..... Can't seem to do it.......... There seems to be no bottom and I can't see a over the top...... There's no light that I can see, only darkness that consumes me with every moment that passes............ I've conditioned myself to look at things moment by moment..... .... The reasoning is I probably wouldn't make it if I looked at things hour by hour day by day........ It's like being in a coal mine with no lights..........  I've been here before why is it always so unfamiliar???? I'm confused, wounded, cold and wish I could just lay down and go to sleep, never to awaken to this misery again............. Someone elses misery........ This was given to me in in one swift  heartless blow..... I can't undo what has already been done to me....... Just wish I could erase the memories........ The pros tell me "you just have to deal with it".   Who the heck made that rule and how do I get it changed? Come to me sweet darkness lay your cool cool hands on my head.......... Give me a moments peace............ The beast has got me  in its despicable grip again ...... I no longer fear it  I just don't like it.  How did I shake it off the last time???? How many times has this happened? Too many... How may times do I have to deal with this again????  Doesn't matter it has me now, I can't get free......... When will it let go?  I thought I was free for a while...... False security........ My medecine is supposed to give me better judgement than to be consumed by a beast that cares little about what happens to me or the way I feel....... Sh&t sh#t sh%t........ Trying so hard I really am..... I want to be positive......... The negativity seems to wrap its cold  hands around me........ The desperate feeling and feelings of dispair so cold and clamy........ I've been to funerals and haven't felt this bad........... Does that make me selfish, maybe........... Or possibly I realized that the overtures are not all they are cracked up to be............. Somebody elses dream certainly not mine............ All I ever wanted  was to be normal like everybody else............ Maybe I am normal.... Could it be every one else is not?  Of course that's what it is they are off not me..... I try not to tell my friends about this because they are struggling so hard with their own issues........ They are trying to deal with demons that consume them and make their lives a living hell just like mine........... Why would I want to make their lives more complicated than it already is?  Where's the bottom? Is there a bottom? How do I know when I have reached the bottom?     Goin down down down down ...........

Don't ever ask where the bottom is my dear friend.The bottom is different for all. This life is hard. I am so very sorry that you are feeling this way. I do know what this horrible feeling is all about.I do know I have felt it many times. I do not pretend to understand it or know why. I know you have much to deal with in your mind. Our minds are very powerful and feelings can trick us. You are not alone, although you may feel so. Minute by minute is ok. because we can not be certain we will have another minute, let alone a day. I know it is easy for a Dr. or pscyc to tell us to deal with it or to get over it. We know that it just isn't that easy, however...we do have more control than what we think. The only one with total control is the Lord. "come to me all ye that are heavy laden..and I will give you rest"..That is true. The only one who can truly help us to escape the beast of our minds is Him.
Do not fear telling your friends how you feel. You know that everyone has problems and I too feel like that sometimes. I also feel like people don't want to tell me their struggles for fear I have too much going on to handle it. But that is so far from the truth. I am not in any more pain than the next soul. I do not have more to bear than anyone else. Many more people struggle with more than what I do. So reach out to whom you can. I am here for you and I may not have the perfect answers but I can listen. I will e-mail you in a minute. There is more I'd like to write but I think it will be better written in private..hang in there..feelings come and they go..they waver like a flag in the wind, back and forth.

here you are, i have been so worried since i didnt hear back from you...i have been thinking about you...i am so sorry your feeling this way...remember what you always tell me, look for the sun...you are not alone Gator, i can promise you that...there are few who can really relate to this hole you speak of, as you now i was in mine last week, and i believe i got better just in time to be here for you...

Long as i remember the rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry pourin' confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, tryin' to find the sun;
And i wonder, still i wonder, who'll stop the rain. ( CCR )

i wish i could take the pain away for you,i would do it in a minute.  no one should have to feel this way...when will there be help for this "condition" or whatever it is...its not just depression...i dont believe its just depression for a minute. whatever it is...it is debilitating. but remember hun, it does end, the sun will shine again for you very soon, you need to just hang on to me as long as you can...i will hold you up for as long as you need to my friend...you can lean on me, i am out of my hole, i am here for you for as long as you need.  you know how much i care about you and value the friendship we have formed.  you have reached out to me in my time of need and you will never know how grateful i am for that, i had your hand and was looking for the sun for days upon days...its my turn to do the same for you, because i want to.
you are the least selfish person i have ever met, you are a special man, not to only me either.  your wife and children, friends you have met through the years...we all care deeply about you...
you will see the top of the hole soon Gator, i know its right around the corner, and at that point you can come out and i will be there, with the bright hot sun...i'll be right next to you, how ever long it takes, i'll be there, ALWAYS.
also, talk, talk and talk some more to me about why you hurt hun, remember what i said, the more you talk the easier it becomes...i truly believe that...hold nothing back Gator...i will be waiting for the first chapter....
much love to you, tons of sun
take MY hand this time...
Amy
