| just need to talk Hi All. I guess I just need to talk. Iam feeling sooo depressed lately. I feel like Im letting everybody down and cant fix it. I feel like a complete failure in everything that I do and it is making me really really sad. No matter how hard I try nothing works out the way it should. I guess maybe I am destined to be like this..........my husband and my kids love me but i feel like im alwys letting them down...especially my husband. I just feel usless and really depressed....... |

| I'm so sorry to hear that you are depressed! I know that feeling and it sucks! You certainly are NOT a failure and I'm sure it's the last thing your kids or hubby would ever think of you as. There is something about the holidays that bring on depression. I take antidepressants and they really help. I wish I knew a way to cheer you up...I send hugs and Maddie sends lots of kisses!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Quote:
I know of someone who's kids don't even speak to them - others that have lost theirs to illness or accidents .....and some others who are going thru divorce ...there's so much for you to be thankful for that you need to look at the GOOD things you do and have and don't dwell on the bad. I have to do that myself or I'd be a mess - it really helps to count your blessings - some of ours are small - some people have more - but if you have a roof over your head and a family that loves you - you're way ahead of many people out there who aren't that lucky Life can SUCK - it really can ...but we all have to cope in the best way we can and that means keep on plugging along. Connie may be right - maybe try antidepressants ? they have faster acting medications now and they may help you feel better ....but don't be so down on yourself - we all have room for improvement - all of us. | |

| Don't quit Kristy, I know things seem hard, but I'm a firm believer in life is what you make of it. If you need to, seek help from a doctor or counselor, even if it means going on meds for a short period of time, maybe even longer. There is no shame in that. I posted this in the hugs thread. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, and many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out Don't give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out, The silver lint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worse, That you must not quit. --- Chandra Smith My friend wrote this for me awhile back when I was having a hard time. I thought I'd share.

| Are you a Christian? If you are then turn to God, put it in his hands. Tell him exactly how you feel and then LET GO and LET GOD. Don't give your problems to God and then snatch them back. Count your blessings, good husband, good kids, health, a home.. If you feel like there needs to be more, then search inside and figure out just what it is theat is lacking within yourself. You can't change other people, you can only change yourself. And no one can make you happy. Happy comes from the inside out. When you are happy on the inside everything looks good on the outside. If your not happy on the inside, then turn to God and ask what it is you need to do. |

| I hope you feel better soon..... God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen. --Reinhold Niebuhr

| Just so you'll know, you're not the only one feeling less than "exuberant" these days. I've been going through hell at work with a manager whom I had to file a grievance against. I realized today that God may be using me to achieve a work in him. In addition, I have a teenage son who thinks he's got it bad because when he opens the pantry or the fridge, they're not full of his favorite foods. Sometimes things don't seem to go your way, or how you wish they would, but there's a plan. Try smiling. I know it sounds silly, but you'll be amazed at how better it will make you feel. Smile at your husband, smile at your kids, smile at your furbaby; hell, smile at a stranger. |

| I think we have all had days like this. Hang in there and just know that you have a great family who loves you and friends who care about you. And hey, you are a part of one of the most awesome groups around...YT!!

| Aww hon, there is a fix for this problem. It's called "Chocolate." Seriously, that is what is so great about this place. There's always a kind ear to listen and encouraging words. It's a safe bet that there's always someone who's been where you are now and made it though to the other side. I think EVERYONE, at some point in time has felt just like you have...I know I sure have. But the chocolate really DOES help! |

| Well I really don't know what to say but don't allow the feeling of depression and failure overcome you that would only add one more defeit to the list. Just think of yourself as I person that strives to do the best the can and who strongly believes in what they do even if it means that other aren't completely with it. Your are you and need to feel your the best there is. |
