I feel so lost most of the time. I feel sad. I have Put myself in isolation most of the time. All I do is go to work and come home and then search until it’s time to go to bed and do it over again. I am a faithful believer in Jesus Christ and I keep doubting myself every day. I pray so hard that this will go away or get a little easier and it doesn’t.

@Tammyhickman46 I really relate to this feeling right now. I've been self-isolating too both because of what's going on with the virus, but also because I haven't been feeling like I can  be around people with my depression. Going through a rough patch currently. Good to know I'm not alone I guess.

@Courtney_J i tend to isolate myself when i am having a bad time.  I dont want my mood to affect others is why. Sometimes I just want to be left alone which probably isnt good but I just want that time to myself

I am so sad and depressed since my husband passed away. With the virus, my illness, and the deaths in my family. I wish I had someone to talk to, someone who has experienced the death of their spouse. someone to share my feelings who will understand me. All I do is cry and pray that I can change what is happening.

I can’t sleep. It’s 5:15 am and I haven’t slept a wink. My depression has ruined my life.

@Tammyhickman46 Hi, Tammy, I am so sorry for what you're going through. I am Christian and I'm struggling! I've cried out to God, asking for Him to help me. I do not have to work so I'm by myself...a lot. I can't seem to shake this.

Having an extremely rough patch with depression.  I cry all the time for ever reason under the sun I can think of.  I do not feel my normal self at all.  I am worried about my Mom because she has been sick and I worry how I would handle her being gone.  Had to deal with feeling suicidal last week although I would never do anything because I'm a christian.  Really wondering how to cope.

Hello, my name is Beth and I have been in crisis mode the last month. Been in bed 95% of that time, didn't want to take a bath, change clothes, didn't care if I ate.  I was at the point of not caring anymore.  I was tired of what life handed to me I was on edge, panicking about everything and obsessing over thoughts that I couldn't get rid of. I about checked myself into the hospital a few times.  I would break out in tears thinking of all the family I lost, being far from the family I have left and being alone.  Never been married, no kids at 43 and it feels like all that time was wasted for nothing.  I feel like a complete failure at life and its useless.  All my hope is in Jesus, I put my life in his hands because I sure don't know what to do anymore I am walking on a lost path turning in circles unable to get the right path found. Thanks for listening ((((HUGS)))) to those that need one.

@irishroses35 hi. I completely understand where you are coming from. I’m 46 faithful believer in Jesus and I’m lost. My kids are grown and live in different states than me. None of my family speaks to me. I live in Michigan so we are on another lock down. I’m drinking daily. I fight it daily and lose. Prayers.
