SB,
I don't even have to explain my situation to you, as you know it oh so well. I am doing really bad right now too. Just feel very detached and very depressed. I just want that depression to lift and want to actually "feel" like doing things. I was feeling "good" for three weeks, two weeks ago. I have thought about ending it too lately. Trust me. I think that "If I can't enjoy things and WANT to be alive, then why should I be alive?" I guess the only answer is, What if it does go away? You'll never know if you end it yourself. Dogg, I've been fighting this for nearly 4 years. That's ALOT longer than the 15 months you've been dealing with it. And there are people on here that have been dealing with it alot longer. Not that that makes you feel any better, but just trying to make a point.
As far as the girlfriend thing. You know I can relate on that. But honestly, as depressed and "out-of-it" that I am right now, I really have NO desire to meet anyone, because I just don't feel excited about it, so I don't even want to give it a try. And I am 25. You are only 19 (right, 19?). You have PLENTY of time to find someone. Heck, I'm still young as well. But yes, that is one thing I have thought alot about..."Why do I not have any appeal for life, girls, basketball, my family, etc.?" And I guess it is because I am so depressed. But if I have been on different meds over the last 4 years, then why am I still depressed? And why did I feel so good from April-August of last year? Shit, makes no sense. Everytime I start feeling depressed again, I always think "It is so much worse this time around!" But honestly, I don't think that its worse, I just think that going back down again after feeling good for three weeks, makes it seem worse and I ruminate ALOT more.
SB...just hang in there man. I'm hurting right there with you as is everyone else. We have a disease, all with different reasons why we feel this way. But we all have a disease. Just hang in there man. I know you aren't very happy with where your life is at the moment, but its just something you are going to have to accept. Suicide is not the answer. It may SOUND like the answer. But its not. You may think it will solve things, but it will not. Trust me. I'll holla at you 2night. Peace.
