Depression Understood Forums

Im 54 and it's soo hard sometimes. When I'm in the company of someone I talk freely and everything is great. But on my own it's horrible. Like everyone I too have a story but it counts for nothing because all that's real is how I feel today. I hate who I am and can't imagine that this will ever go away. It's like i'm on one side of the river but can't get to the other side.
I just wish I had a friend. I just wish this would finally end.

I have depression and I used to feel the same way as you feel right now.

I feel extremely uncomfortable because I feel like there's no peer who I can talk about it.

But believe me, you actually really love yourself from the bottom of your heart.

And, your heart needs the approval to feel better about everything you struggle.

Please stay by your side. You are the one who can give yourself what you need.

Thanks for yr words. I hope this ends one day.
