Frustrated

[justanotherday]

I am so frustrated because I am too afraid to make an attempt. I have survived two things before, so I know the chances of a successful attempt are slim. I remember a teacher I had back in the day, told us students( that he could tell we did not want to be in his boring class),that we might as well make the best of it, knowing we had to be in his class each day for an hour... might as well not fight it and make the best of it. I guess that is what people like myself should try to do in life. If we are too afraid to try and leave the planet, then we should try to make the best of things? Well, that is easier said than done ,because I hate my sorry life and life on this crazy planet in general. Nothing gives me any pleasure anymore. How can people like myself try and make the best of it ? I do know that I am sick of hearing myself complain, but I cannot help the way I feel. Any thoughts?

Are you taking anything for depression?

Are you taking anything for depression?

I have over the years and antidepressants have side effects that I cannot tolerate. I don't know what else to do or try anymore.

Like me I've had to weigh up the side effects to how the depression is and I'll have the side effects over that. It can take years to get the right meds and I know it's a long time.

I understand. I've already decided that I'd rather be dead than get back on SSRI's.
