I've been ostracized by my family, they don't want to have anything to do with I and my son. I'm tired of everything, I don't even know why I'm still living....

@Noragetsbetter28 - That's tough and sorry you have to deal with that. Family should be the ones that have your back, always.
I'm having a REALLY tough time myself as my 3 year old has COVID and we're stuck in the house for 10 days in quarantine. Being bipolar and with horrific anxiety, this is a nightmare. My wife is treating me like garbage and like a child. It's her own frustrations from work that she's letting out on me. I can't help but not speak to her because everything I say gets slapped back in my face. I don't know how or if I can last in this house over the next 9 days. I'm losing my mind! I really don't know how to keep living with this depression and anxiety. Every year it gets worse and I don't even have anything to really be upset about!

Dear Fire fly ,
Are you taking any medications for your depression and anxiety?

@Avasad I know how you feel and what I’ve found to help is to just talk about small things first. For example did anything make you upset or sad today? It doesn’t even have to be something personal, like if you see a dog died online. Whenever you feel comfortable, you can start talking more and more personal situations with who ever you feel comfortable with.

Hello Carenity Members,
I have seen in thedepression forums that there are many posts about people needing someone to talk to/listen to and feeling of overwhelemed with life or facing depression for various reason
I have created this discussion group and PINNED it so that it will remain at the top for people to do several things:
1) Those needing someone to talk to, can briefly state what they are struggling with - their situation - and that they would like to talk with someone.
2) Those who would like to listen/talk to someone else, can then private message that user directly and begin a conversation.
or
3) Those who have either overcome their depression to an extent or just really want to help and listen can also comment and say just that - basically offering themselves to be contacted.
I hope this helps open the communication and organize the forum as well. I think peer support is essential, especialy when in our own lives, perhaps we feel blocked out.
As always, there is the general forum for any and all other discussions.
If situation is very bad, please know your life is important and reach out to a medical professional or call Crisis Hotline at 1-800-273-8255
Thank you,
Lee__R
