My mother despises me. She shows me no love, caring, or affection no matter what. I AM 50 and she is 74 but because I lost my license, I am stuck living with her and suffering her constant torment. Nothing helps, no matter what I do or say, she just demeans me and belittles me and makes me feel like a worthless piece of trash. The damn state will not give me my license. I am trapped in hell. I have been tortured and abused my whole life and I do nothing but rot in bed and she dances in my misery. When I try to talk to her about anything, she remains completely silent, like I am invisible. Oh ..read more

Last weekend I was feeling about as low as ever and wondering what the point of being alive was. Then I had somewhat of a breakthrough on Tuesday when I realized that I wasn't completely worthless. I had about 5 days of relief/better feelings. Then today I had some self harm urges again. So far today I have been able to resist but I'm tired of having these feelings so much ..read more

I have been diagnosed with and suffer from severe depressive disorder and I really hate it. I get hit with a bout of that stuff and lasts sometimes for 2-3 weeks before it abates and gives me a break. My psychiatrist throws Trintellix and Bupropion, with the former being new for me. I was put on Lexapro the first day it was available to be prescribed and was on that for years. I have less of the episodes of depression as I think for me the Trintellix is a better drug, but it still gets me at times. MY psychiatrist does something else that is odd to me, she has me taking 12mg of Xanax a day. T ..read more

Feeling worthless, like anyone could do anything I do and probably do it better. Like anything I do/say/think doesn't matter. Believing that although I have things to add, they don't really matter so aren't really worth it. Which means I don't really have anything to add ..read more

Hi everyone, I'm just after some advice. I have two sons aged 19 & 11. We moved to Cardiff 9 years ago so I could live with my partner & because I moved away from my family, it's starting to take a toll on me.

After 17 ECT treatments in '92, I spent 2 yrs in bed, went on disability and into a halfway house. My energy's never been the same and nothing's helped since then - I've tried everything and no one has listened to me the last 30 years. I've spent the last 20 yrs in bed.

I've been very sick last 45 yrs, been hospitalized 28 times, taken every medication, had ECT 5 times al ..read more

I'm 64 and still a virgin, and I'm on three dating sites looking. I desperately wanted a Girlfriend when I was in my early twenties, but my idea of relationships was Elementary School. I had no conception of connecting with people and seeing who you bond with. Instead, I expected Women to come up to me and act ga ga over me. I tried asking someone out but I was so awkward it came out creepy and I scared her away. I got so frustrated I gave up at 24, and since then it's been hard to start looking again. Hope the dating sites will work ..read more
