For a while now my spark for life has been becoming increasingly dimmer but now I just give up. Every single aspect of my life is over. My relationships, my career my happiness..all of it is going wrong. But the most worrying part I don't even care. A while ago if my career was going wrong I'd be determined and prepared to do whatever to make it right again but now I just don't care in the slightest. I feel like I'm drowning and all people can say to me is "you need to snap out of this" or "moping around all day won't help". Well yeah I know that but I can't do anything about it. In the past I've suffered from an eating disorder and I can feel a relapse emerging. I just want to eat less and less so that I can starve myself into oblivion. Or alternatively I just wanna run away. I want to run and run and run until I'm as far away from my problems as I can get, except there's no escape because the problem lies within me. It's like I'm going insane, in fact I think I am insane sometimes I just scream and scream and cry as if I really am crazy. This was never how I planned my life to be but I'm just so trapped. I need help.

I am SO SORRY for what you're going through, @alexflute59! It certainly sounds like you're REALLY depressed. You're saying that you need help so why not get some? Are there any Doctors, Psychiatrists, Psychologists or Therapists you can reach out to? Please definitely ask for help to whoever you can! Your Life isn't over. You can still build a good one... but you must NEVER, EVER GIVE UP HOPE! That is FUNDAMENTAL if you want to keep fighting! So please, be kind to yourseld and DON'T GIVE UP! I am sure you have much more worth that you think you have. You're important, you matter, you're worth it, you're wise and you're wonderful! That's ABSOLUTELY TRUE and you know that is ABSOLUTELY TRUE even if it's deep down inside you! Please keep us posted and let us know how things are going for you and if they are getting ANY better, ok? Feel free to PM me ANYTIME if you need advice and support or even simply someone to talk to. I am SURE plenty of others will also GLADLY and WONDERFULLY help you if you just ask for some help! Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @alexflute59, your family, your friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking AS MUCH AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN like you're already WONDERFULLY doing ALL and ENTIRELY BY YOURSELF and ALL and ENTIRELY ON YOUR OWN!

Hello alexflute: Thank you for bringing your concern here to PC. I see this is your first post here on PC. So… welcome to Psych Central. I'm sorry you are feeling so hopeless. Hopefully coming here to PC can be of some comfort & support for you. By the way there is a forum, here on PC, dedicated to the subject of eating disorders. Here's a link just in case you haven't already found it:

https://psychcentralforums.com/eating-disorders/

Since you posted this in the depression forum, I presume you have an understanding of what it is that is going on with you. You didn't mention if you're receiving any mental health treatment. If not that's certainly something you may want to consider. Unfortunately there aren't any easy answers to the kind of situation you are in, just a lot of hard work. (You probably didn't need me to tell you that.) However perhaps coming here to PC can be a step in that direction.

Here are links to 6 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that (hopefully) may be of interest:

Depression: Symptoms, Types & Treatments | Psych Central

Living with Depression: A Guide for Coping with Depressive Feelings | Psych Central

When You Feel Lost

When You Don't Feel Anything During Your Depression

https://psychcentral.com/blog/feelin...this-can-help/

https://psychcentral.com/blog/tips-f...ure-depressed/

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

Thank you so so much for this beautiful message. I apologise for taking so long to acknowledge this-I hope you can understand, I've been trying to stay away from my phone as it just promotes more unhealthy feelings in me. Certain elements of my life look clearer now and I really don't want to give up but all the same my depression never goes away. I still feel constantly helpless and so anxious that I'm going to push everyone in my life away or make a wrong decision that will impact everything. I live with hope that clarity will arrive at some point, however long it takes. Sending lots of hugs and thanks your way
