How are you feeling?

Had such a great day but ended with a low.... Was watching a Glee concert (I lost the remote :p) and felt like such a failure. People my age going after their dreams and I'm not going after what I want.

Hang in there Mikey. Band rehearsal... seeing a friend... going to work - those are all things which I know are difficult to do when depressed, but on the other hand, it's good that you have them to do. I had a little listen to your music and I think your band rocks, particularly the drummer!
I guess. I'm overwhelmed, though. And thanks. :)

I'm just feeling very tired. Working long hours and having to cover somebody who is sick, so that's even more hours. A lady phoned in in floods of tears because a relative is trying to kill her... dealt with her best I could but felt so unhelpful and burst into tears after putting phone down because I just wished I could do more... Embarassing but colleagues very supportive. I think I really need my holiday next week. 5 hours sleep a night is catching up with me.
You did the best you could, and you can't move the Earth for one person, as much as you want to. Don't replay that event, because you did great.

Like you, I'm also in desperate need of my holiday next week. I hope we both have a good break.

Worthless & forgettable.
Betrayed...
What's wrong?

Glee is not real life. What dreams are you aspiring to?

I feel that way watching others my age sometimes, too. But I try to remember that it's a marathon, not a sprint. I'll get to where I'm supposed to be in due time. (And I totally would have watched the Glee Concert Movie, remote or not. :D)

I feel misunderstood.

I feel every word I type is being not understood properly and just making me appear more and more stupid to the forum.

I dont understand - that for a forum for depression and anxiety - how everyone seems to be able to think the world is so flawless and perfect.

Gah - it just doesnt make any sense to me.

Maybe I am wrong about everything. Maybe everything is wonderful, nothing ever goes wrong and everyone treats others well and I just need to get over myself.

I can speak for a lot of us when I say that a lot of us think the world is not flawless. What makes you think this way?

I mean, I know I'm flawed, but the world is not exactly perfect, either.

No, I actually feel alot of the same things that you're describing. Express yourself anyway you see fit. I'm sure people here understand on some level.

The world is a giant crapball with grass growing on it, and we humans live on.

Kia Kaha:
You do not appear stupid and your words are understood. I read about a lot of heartache on this forum with many posters trying to make sense of it all including me. You are going through a tough period dealing with your "shyness" issue and sometimes a person has to feel intense pain for a change to occur. You might be headed for a breakthrough.

KiaKaha, you have plenty of sense and it shows. Very far off from what the word stupid even means. If anything I would call you very intelligent, not because I'm being nice it's because you really are.
 
I am feeling pretty terrible. I want to save the world from all the horror and despair. I want to give the good-hearted less fortunate a chance at happiness. Good people with anxiety issues or who are considered unattractive or have a deformity or disability or have made poor choices and are sincerely regretful.

I guess before this year I never fully appreciated how very harsh and cold the reality of human life can be. Not that it is for everyone. But many suffer horrendously, and some are even mocked for it.

I'm sorry, I'm only filling this thread with negativity again. This is the last one of these types of post I'll write for a while, I promise. I just feel overwhelmed with despair and confusion. I'm terrified. I don't even want to look in the mirror anymore. I feel worthless.

I don't know why I do this to myself.

Excuse my pessimism. I will be going now. I really just want a hug and to be told everything will be alright, but for some people it just... isn't. Not everything is always going to be alright.

How do you deal with that? How do you deal with the feeling that it only makes sense to off yourself, but you don't want to, and you feel tormented? Am I just really, really sick? Do I have any hope?

I'm going to regret posting this. Maybe I should stay off here for a while, I think I'm too depressed to be here. You guys don't need my crippling negativity. And yet I'm still posting this... makes sense.

Don't worry about pessimism. I know just how you feel, I feel the same way and want to do the same things Rant and then regret it sometimes. Or I feel so negative. Doesn't matter you're expressing. Actually some of it made me smile inside, knowing you're a good person with a good heart that wants the best for the world. I wish you could have a hug and be told that too. Beatrice.
