Everyday I hurt. I feel like my life doesn't matter at all. I'm not sure why. I haven't told anyone, and I've been feeling this way for the past 8 years. I try to smile on the outside, but on the inside...I'm not doing well. I'm not sure what to do. I even believe that my wife should be with someone else that can be a better husband to her. I'm so confused and not sure about anything.....

How I feel today does not have to determine what I manage to get done. Being a task oriented person, feeling overwhelmed or tightly sprung on any given day can really unravel me. Right now, I am fighting a feeling of hopelessness as I battle against vertigo that has had me spinning around for the past month. It will pass, but it effects my capacity to work consistently and as a writer, I find this very frustrating and it causes my anxiety to rise up and try and take me down. But how I feel today does not have to determine the outcomes of today. I can choose. So, despite how challenging it might be; and despite the fact that I will probably choose every few minutes to fight it, I will fight it. I will work through, not ignoring my feelings, but acknowledging them and then telling them that I have work to do and will attend to them when I feel ready. I am the master. Not the other way around. And so are you.

I love you. With all my heart, I love you." We are here for YOU always. Reach out and we are here. Your not alone

You are not alone. When in the trenches of depression, it can seem like no one can possibly understand what you're going through and, often times, people who don't have experience with depression can't understand. However, look for the those who are willing to listen...who are willing to lend a supportive ear...so that you can feel and experience not being alone. Don't keep it inside. Realizing, even just for a moment, that you need help and actually want to seek that help takes unbelievable courage and bravery. You are NOT alone. Seek the smallest of connections...they will remind you that you matter, even when you may feel you don't. XOXO

Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.

The only thing harder than talking about your depression is NOT talking about it.

I am going through a deep depression but it is clashing with my mania at the same time. Has this happened to anyone before. I need to talk, keeping it bottled up makes me feel so much worse. Speaking out about it helps alot. We shouldnt have to suffer in silence. Thats why so many people are commiting suicide, they suffer in silence. Speak out and let someone know how your feeling it will make you feel so much better. And for me talking to others that are in the same boat as me makes me feel like I am accomplishing something. I love talking to people and helping them through their struggles, I guess because I can empathise with them.

I struggled with depression while raising three children alone. We all survived and often thrived, because I believed in being honest, and respecting my children's right to understand. There is no shame is being depressed, nor in accepting love and support - even from your own kids. I hope this book I wrote will help your family, too --- "When My Mommy Cries" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQxE-g5eKNw

If you have depression, seek help. If you don't, be help.

Depression is not a choice. Getting help is.
