My depression is getting worse and worse, but I can’t talk to anyone. Everyone around me has it worse, and I have to bottle everything up or it feels like I’ll just make everything worse for them. I have to take care of everyone else, and if I crumble even the slightest, I just get scorn and upset directed at me. I’m just so tired of consistently having to push my problems down to take care of everyone else. I’m exhausted, and I’m falling back into old ways of thinking with self harm and suicide idealization.

I’m getting sick of all this “Woe is Me,” stuff. Go to your regular family doctor for a prescription that will help your depression. Give us a follow-up after you’ve been on your meds for a few weeks.
I’ve been on antidepressants for 6 years, I’m going to a therapist, I’m going to a psychiatrist, and I’m being consistently given the cold shoulder by someone I should be able to trust, but thanks for boiling it down to self pity.
Well let me tell you I’ve been on antidepressants for nearly thirty years and they do work, if you stay away from alcohol. Who is the someone you should be able to trust? I have a feeling that is part of the problem. Do you have any relatives to stay with?
This is co-dependent talk, you are a person. You are a human being, you have needs that are important. The best way for a host to get rid of a parasite is to take action. If you have miserable self centered dependent people who selfishly place there emotions above yours, leave. It’s cold, it’s direct but leave. You are a person who matters and you have your own issues, needs, problems. Fuck them, you sound like a good person. Show thoose dependent people just how independent you can be. This might sound cold and shallow, but clearly they need you more than you need them. Rise up and take action, sometimes being independent is the best thing you can do. Fuck guilt, become independent.
