My deep depression is slowly robbing me of my life, which should be appreciated and enjoyed,and will probably cost me my family if not my life sooner rather than later. I know how you feel.
And it won't get any better. It's something I can fight off because I always stay strong but it's also something I can't completely shut off. People think it's so easy. It isn't.
I will say that you have a choice, it’s not easy in anyway, but perspective matters. We all have some huckleberry we fight but the better you understand it the better chance you have living better with it. I don’t know how old you are but the more you let it consume you the worse it gets until you get to a stage where you can see no light whether it’s there or not. I have a beautiful and awesome wife and two great kids and all I can see is misery and the need to end my life so they can be freed from the curse of me. Don’t let it get that far. You have much to live for and fight for.
I hope you take your own advice. You also have much to live for.
I’ve always been much better at giving advice than taking it.
I have therapy as well as meds I take. These days it isn't nearly as bad as it used to be. I used to have worse thoughts but now it comes and goes.
Oh don't worry, I have a therapist and medicine for it. Much stronger mentally than I used to be. But it still lingers deep in my mind.Therapy and or medication. There is hope.
