Depression Understood Forums

I take care of my mother, pick up after my older brother and father. I'm do online classes for college. I haven't been able to find a job. I usually write poetry when I feel sad or broken, but here lately it hasn't helped. I just feel lonely, worthless, like I'm a horrible person, and I cry at the drop of a hat. I have trouble going to sleep at night and then I finally do go to sleep, I can't stand waking up. my friends tell me I'm just stressed like everybody else, and make me feel like I'm overreacting. what's wrong with me?

thought i would say hi,
and you don't sound like a worthless, horrible person but the opposite of that, thoughtful and caring .
you sound like you are under an awful lot of pressure and that you might be doing too much and not spending enough time looking after your self, that is just my observation.
maybe you need to treat your self, give yourself a day off and do something for you.
is there a GP you can talk to ?
remember to be kind to yourself .
take care

nothing is wrong with you.. u are as good as others.. u just need some time to look after your self.... relax.. meditate.. take a deep breath ..count upto 3 and exhale.. do it 2 to 3 times .. daily...
Every coin has two faces.. similarly we all have.. look onto your possitive sides.. .. U R A VERY CARING .. RESPONSIBLE PERSON.. u r very struggling.. as u taking online classes.. also u write poetry.. that's amazing.. just do what u want to do.. what u really enjoy.. dont force yourself.. dont think about the result.. just enjoy the moment.. for some time, avoid every negative person in your life.. spend some time with you and with those who can see the good in you.. if there are problems.. there are solutions too.. LIVE YOUR LIFE.. and ya.. in next reply.. please write one poem.. poem that makes u happy... good luck!

Thank you for your replies. It has been so rough lately.
