I'm stumped. I'm 34 and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with my life, or what I even want out of life. All I can think of doing is to relate my sorrow for my mother-in-law who passed away recently of a heart attack during her sleep. The last time we had a chat, she had made a decision. She raised her kids, and she raised some of her grandkids, but she was putting her foot down about having to raise her great-grandkids. She said it was finally time for her & her husband to travel and enjoy life alittle. To have fun. Unfortunately, she waited too late.
I wish you luck in finding what you need.
KDi in Texas> I have had major depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. I am almost 60. Have a great family husband of 40+ years, happy marriage, children, grandchildren and in-laws all very supportive and loving. Then you may ask, why am I writing this message? Because I do not think any of them understands exactly what chronic major depression is really like or why it is so life altering. I have a psychiatrist that I get along with very well, but I sometimes think even he does not understand. Why do I feel like I am falling apart inside and it is not apparent to anyone that this is going on? Or how serious it is.
> Have taken every single antidepressant and treatments on the market today and some combinations also.Am currently on two antidepressants, an anxiety drug and sleep aid. I am so tired of waking up every day and feeling so hopeless, no matter what I do. I do not understand why I was born or why I am still here. I am definitely not suicidal, would not do that to God or my family. Just plain out of ideas and seem to have hit a brick wall.
> I have no motivation and if I do have a day that I feel some I work all day and into the night to catch up on everything. I do not sleep well, not good sleep. I am sure there are others who have had or are feeling these same feelings. Would like to hear from them. Thanks in advance for any help at all.
