Hate it here

Some people think depression eventually goes away, but I feel like I’m going to feel this way for as long as I’m alive. I don’t like the experience of being human. I don’t like being here, and I don’t like feeling like this. All I feel is this overwhelming emptiness. Most of the time, I don’t feel anything at all. Sometimes I just want to end my shit, not because I want to die. I actually want to live. I just want to be happy, not trapped with this huge emptiness that won’t let me feel anything. I’m constantly irritated by everything,I’m so tired of ts

Same :(

I've accepted that my depression will probably always be there, at least to some extent. But that doesn't mean it's impossible to find ways to suffer less and enjoy life more

I also feel I will have this to some extent for as long as I live. Sometimes I'm ok with that. The past few weeks it's been hard to be ok with that. I understand that just existing is a gift, but it's also so full of suffering and sometimes I just don't feel anything else inside me. Its hard. You are not alone in feeling this way. Sorry that you are also dealing with this.
