Reply To: Struggling With Mental Illness

Thanks icot. I’m trying not to give up, it’s a hard struggle.

All I’ll say is that if depression was my only struggle right now then I’d probably be ok but it’s not which makes it that much harder. I do go on with my life like normal, the people around me have no idea that I’m going thru all this but I know and that’s what hurts so much. I am taking the advice of everyone here- trust me!

And I’m the type of person that feels bad that anyone else has to go through this also. Just because I have to go thru it, I feel bad that anyone has to suffer with it as well. It’s funny because it almost makes it harder for me that there are other people who are suffering too because why should someone else have to suffer with this also? I know, it’s a dumb thing to think because it’s almost like I’m taking the worlds issues onto my shoulders but it’s what I feel…

Thanks all for replying. Makes it easier for me to know that people really DO care.
