I don't know why but I feel the need to vent today. After 4 1/2 years of doing well, I've now had a very bad month. I have made plans to end my life and was afraid I might act on this. I called my T. and we talked. I only feel a little bit better. I can't understand why I've been having these feeling again after all these years. I have two children and a loving spouse. God help me, I can't go through this again. No need to post, I am only venting. Thanks to all. Take care of yourselfs. Peace

It is so hard when things start getting bad after you've had a good period. But you know so much more than you did before. You know that it is possible for things to get better.
Keep reaching out - you will find lots of people here who will care and help. Let people IRL know that things are bad, too - they will want to help.
Love,
Falls

Yup. Sunnydays is right. In Real Life.
Babble friends are great and helpful, but they aren't the same as real live people who can be in the same room as you are.
How are things going?

HI Falls, I find myself saying all the time now, " don't ask if you don't want to really know." Fresh I know, but I just can't tell people how bad things have gotten. I hear the same things from everyone. I don't find it helps. Spouse and son now know how it is. I should talk to T. but what would she say that I haven't already heard? For now I guess I'm safe till after my 20th Wed. Anv. Again, no need to post, just rantting and ventting.

It isn't what they say. The healing part is in the relationship. That they care enough to listen to you, and to try to respond. They aren't going to solve all your problems for you. Only you can do that. But people in this world care about you. And their view of you can help support your own view until you are feeling better.
It takes work to climb out of depression. Heaven knows that you know that. You've done it before, and I really believe that it gets easier each time, because you learned some skills in the past that you can use. And because you know that it IS POSSIBLE to feel better. You are not doomed to be miserable for the rest of your life. The work is very hard work - but who told you live would be easy??
Remember what it feels like to be feeling good. That is worth working for. It wasn't hopeless before and it isn't hopeless now.
Please?
Love,
Falls
