Depression Understood Forums

Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum stuff, however I've lived with depression in many forms for over half my life. There are times when it's like an old friend, almost a comfort for at least I know this beast intimately. Then there are times like now when I just wish I could continue on numb & breathing but not really alive.
I've lost so much due to depression that I sometimes feel like I held on to this life for no reason at all. All my dreams are gone now & it's just me & the beast.
I'm hoping to find some friends here that not only understand this, but maybe can give a bit of sun in an otherwise cloudy life.

Hey there LadyTess. I know this is a late response. I hope somehow you have some sun in your life now. I hate to see you write that all your dreams are gone.

Sometimes in life the pain we go through shoves our dreams down so far we lose sight of them and lose our love for them. Please don't ever let that happen to you.

Will you tell me some of your dreams ? I'd really love to hear them. We are born to dream as big as our hearts allow us too and nothing should ever be able to take that away from us.

Your not alone in this fight. You just have to keep holding on.

love and hugs always
