Things don’t get better

[StillWaiting]

Hi guys. It is been a long time since I am here because I thought giving myself time away from the forum may somehow change things for the better but I was wrong. I am taking antidepressants now but it never get better.

Work makes it worse because it makes you realize you struggling just to keep yourself alive. After work, it is just too tiring to do any other things. I just don't see a point struggling so much just to keep myself alive.

Does anyone else also feel this way?

Just like you, I took some days off from SS some weeks ago but it didn't work.
I had no one to talk to. I needed to talk about depression and suicide and read different experiences.
Thus, I realized that being on SS actually helps me lots and I'm feeling better thanks to this lovely community.

Work can be certainly a problem. For instance, I hate having bosses so, I decided to become an independent teacher and be my own boss.
I enjoy working but sometimes it's really hard because I'm bipolar and my DOWNS can really suck.

Hope you can feel better soon and feel free to pm me if you need to talk.

Hugs,

Matt
