So I’ve basically been fighting depression and anxiety my whole life, especially the last two years have been rough.
My life has slowly deteriorated and all my struggling just seems to be in vain. All my interests seem gray and mostly just feel like chores the few times a month I actually do them.
I feel sorry for the few friends and family that is still around me, because how can decently fulfilled people possibly be able to relate to the darkness that I emit. I used to be so positive although things were rough….
I have begun self-medicating a lot, pills, booze, it doesn’t matter. I do this knowingly that it will drag me deeper down into my personal hell, where my sorry ass belongs. I’m so fucked up in that way. I give as much love and care away to other people as I possibly can, but when I arrive to myself there is only deep hatred and disgust.
I miss keeping my chin up and fighting through the misery, I have desperately tried to find that drive again, that one thing that will keep me going forward. But I fumble in the dark and it has been a long time since I even saw a little glimmer of light.
Why can’t I see the positive things in my life anymore? I feel so lonely in this intense pain… and so selfish.
Thank you for reading,
Much love to all of you.

Good Morning Concrete,
Just wanted to let you know that i have read your post. I don’t think we have had the pleasure of meeting before….no matter…welcome…
I myself have suffered from a GAD and was medicated for the first time(diazepam) at the age of 2. I’m not sure….but perhaps i have some insight that might help you out. I am now 50 years old and the mother of 3, grandmother to 5. So i have just a little experience….would like to help if i can….but would need more specific information to make suggestions. That said….I always found the depressions that followed the anxiety to be the most destructive in my life….what about you?….will only be here for a moment this morning…but will try to get later on tonight as well….if you would like more input….let me know….in the meantime there are probably lots of folks a lot smarter than me that will help you if you ask…many of them right here on this site….myself i have only been here for a few weeks
Let me know and take care of yourself
Namaste

boy oh boy can I relate to this – with the exception of the “deep hate and disgust for myself” … for me, it’s just apathy towards myself.
i wish I knew the answer – all I can say is … know you’re not alone.
best wishes
