I just wanted to add thank you to those of you who have responded.Its refreshing to see people take a few minutes to contribute to the life of someone they dont even know and I know I sound bad but in the end, I continue to try and will continue to try.I just never though I would be at a point where I had so little confidence in my own state of mind.Thanks again
From what you have wrote, you sound upset because you have not accomplished much in life. If this is true, know that some people don't become successful or find their niche in life until middle age or beyond. I know people that are in their 40s and 50s and going to college to better their life ,although there is more to life than a career and money. Also, the pressure that society can put on men when it comes to having a career and money can be unfair. Feel free to send me a message if you still need someone to talk to.
Stev,
I read your post and was heartbroken to hear how you're feeling right now.
To me, you sound severely depressed.
You'd mentioned that "many people use depression as an excuse".....
....well even though that may be the case with SOME (not most) people,Stev, from reading your post, to me you sound truly depressed. JMHO but I think ,Stev, you are suffering from a true depression. It's not fake and it's not just the case of the "blues" .
When a person is feeling as you are right now, your depression can make you feel hopeless.
Hopelessness is such a difficult thing to get over on one's own.
I'm not a proponent that everyone on this Earth needs to be on some kind of medication,however, in SOME cases, the seratonin in the brain is just not working properly and needs "HELP" to get going again. That's why people take anti-depressants....most are Seratonin ReUptake Inhibitors. Some other medications work on your brain's neurotransmitters to get those working properly.
Sometimes we as humans need to take a special medication to get those neurotransmitters going well again.
Once that is achieved, then our minds can begin to make better decisions for ourselves.
Please do not fear calling a professional at this point in your life. This could be a Counselor, or a Doctor,--- maybe just your regular Doctor who can refer you to an understanding specialist that has dealt with people in your situation. After that your Doctor can guide you in the right direction.
