Re: I'm trying, but life is conspiring
Isn't it funny? When I was fit I thought my weight didn't define me. I would go around lecturing people that it's what's on the inside that counts. But I now know that I was wrong. If the packaging is ugly, no one cares to see what's inside.

How do I learn to accept the things that I have no power to change?
I know I would be happier if I didn't want so much. I want a loving partner and a family, I want to be successful at work that I love, I want health, I want my mom to be taken care of, I want my siblings to be successful and happy. I want poisonous people to stay out of my life. For a long time, I t...

Re: I can't get out of bed or get motivated
Wow, you've pretty much described my reality for the last few years, except I don't have a boyfriend or friends. I don't know how to help you because I don't know how to help myself, but I will follow your thread to see if others have answers.

Re: Friends are disappearing - feeling isolated and very sad
I have cut shallow, faithless people out of my life, but now there's no one left. I feel miserable in their company, but also miserable on my own. What I'm saying is, friendship is a catch-22. Your friends need you to be a particular way, otherwise, they don't know how to be friends with you. You co...

God is punishing me
When I was small, I didn't know any better and became involved in sin. It was how I was raised. When I began to understand that it was wrong, I still kept on the wrong path, so I lived in a cycle of guilt and shame until I finally took the right path. Since then I've tried to be a good person to mak...

The reason therapy exists
Therapy exists because no one cares to listen to anyone else babble about their problems unless they're getting paid to do it. Psychotherapy is the only profession where the patient gets blamed if the treatment doesn't work.

My mantra...
Things were really bad, so a few years ago, I made a deal with myself. I told myself I could follow through on my suicidal thoughts if things got really bad--but first, I had to publish my first book. For many dark years, that singular goal was the thing that kept me going when all the exercise, die...

Re: Professional with depression...
Mike,
I'm a doctor too, but a different kind. I'm also in this deep rut and I just keep declining no matter what I've tried. Every day I struggle to find reasons to live.

I'm trying, but life is conspiring
I'm dysthymic (persistent depressive disorder), and basically I haven't been happy for as long as I can remember, but I think that instead of my mood staying steady, like usual, it's been declining to the point where I think about suicide constantly. I just don't feel like I belong anywhere. On top ...
