I feel so unmotivated to do anything. I don't have any one to talk to. I would be happy to listen.

I'm so sorry depression has overcome your mind with its dark, empty void. You are in a very sad, and bad place right now, but you have to remind yourself that this is temporary and as horrible as you feel, dying is a bad choice, call yourself a ambulance and go to the hospital for help, I too have issues of very deep depression where my mind lies to me, I have to finally learned to call 911 if I start thinking I don't want to live anymore, or I think of the different ways to take myself out painlessly. Its possible you need a medication tweak, and the hospital is the very best place to change your meds, because you will have support and immediate help if the new medication has adverse effects. I hate my illness, I am manic depressive, type one, rapid cycle, with panic disorder, ptsd, chronic depression and add, and at times I have issues with addiction. You are worthy of happiness and love, I tend to isolate myself when I can't function, I live alone with my dog. I truly have no-one o talk to about my issues, and sometimes it really does help to have someone trying to understand my illness and be supportive, and care about me and my mental health.

I know how u feel. Each day I wake up and want to feel normal free of depression but it never seems to go away. Depression or anxiety haunt me constantly. I work my hardest at tools to make them go away. It definitely makes me feel suicidal. I've tried at least 50 Med TMS, ECT hard to stay optimistic.

can totally relate! Most recently tried Ketamine. Thought that would be the answer. But no didn’t help back to square one. I’ve tried probably 40 meds TMS, ECT, lot and lots of therapy. Don’t know the answer.

Be careful. Say nothing about your condition until you Absolutely trust them. If they are not gossip heads, perhaps you should speak to one. Especially if you have demonstrated a symptom. Then explain it. None of us is 100% narrow. If you want help, Enlist a friend. My roommate and I went to lots of shows and food and game night. If I was churning up, he’d kick me under the table. I was so grateful.

Know what you mean. I have had resistant depression/anxiety for over 4 years now. It’s all I think about , can’t get it out of my head and I think about suicide all the time. Would love to hear from people regarding this.
