I've been very absent lately, and though my insights and advice aren't great, I still miss being able to input and communicate here. I'm having a lot of depression and anxiety issues. My confidence is gone. I feel like I'm pointless all the time, so I don't try to be useful. I want to disappear from everything forever. I don't think I'm suicidal but know I'm not well. I'm sorry I haven't been around.

I think all (or at least most of us) go through periods such as this from time to time. I know I certainly do. Sometimes when I feel I simply have nothing to offer, & no energy to offer anything even if I had something, I'll resort to replying to threads in the Games forum. But then there are also times when even that seems overwhelming. So then I just disappear entirely for a while.

I can definitely relate to your statement about wanting to disappear from everything forever. Our Schnoodle passed away a couple of weeks ago. But back when he was still with us & healthy I sometimes used to have occasion to take him for a walk in the dark during the late evening. And as we would be walking along it wouldn't have been unusual for the thought to occur to me: I wish I could simply walk off into the night never to be seen or heard from again. Sometimes it still does.

I hope you begin feeling better soon.

(((Sorryshaped))) it’s ok if you need a break. I myself have been experiencing severe depression just worn down so badly from so many very negative life challenges. My energy to post to others just was not there and a big effort when I did post.

I honesty got where I hated waking up and was constantly weepy. Both my therapist and pdoc told me I was exhibiting all the clinical signs of severe depression. I have been taking an antidepressant and it’s helped me function better.

I am sorry you are struggling as you have been so supportive and helpful to other members here. Please keep reaching out for help even though that too can be such an effort. ((((Hugs))))

Maybe it’s starting to help with this higher dose. It takes a bit to feel the difference.

I am sorry to hear your struggling. It's okay to take a break if you need it.

I understand how you feel. I hope you start to feel a better soon.
