I didn't used to understand addiction. My mother quit smoking a year or so ago, and she mentions, almost daily, how badly she wants a cigarette. How it's always there, this....wanting.
That's how it's been lately with me wanting to kill myself. More and more it feels like the obvious thing to do. I know it's not. That it makes no real sense, but that's not how depression works. It makes no sense. it is insanity. I'm crazy. Why would anyone want to kill themselves?
I have no one to talk to about it.
I'm sure there are people who know me that would talk to me about it. But, they wouldn't "get it", ya know? Other people, must i guess, don't give a shit at all. These would be the "Just go ahead and do it then, loser! Fuck you!". I get them. They've got their own bullshit to deal with in life,right? So, why WOULD they care about someone else's pain, trouble, shoe size, handedness..etc. They wouldn't.
I feel I'm rambling, babbling right now.
There goes the CRAZY I was talking about! Ha! (Runs finger up n down over lips) Bebulebuhleebu!
Awhile back, i mentioned that my girlfriend was in the hospital for a rare illness, and then her father passed away on the day she was being released from said hospital, and that he died right there in front of her. Well, the whole thing has just triggered this domino effect thing that just plain sucks. It doth. truly.
I don't indent.
SHe has suffered from depression ever since. See, he contracted(?) a type of pneumonia that one usually gets from being in the hospital for long periods of time, and that effected some rare thing he had, that then jacked his pancreas up....that chased the cat, that ate the mouse, that ate the cheese that killed the man that Jack built. She was in the ICU for 3wks. He was there every day. She blames herself for his death. If she hadn't gotten sick, he wouldn't have been there, he wouldn't have gotten sick....you can guess the rest. Because she thinks it's her fault he died, she hates herself. SHe tells me that she wished she had just died. SHe doesn't want to live. To be here. She hates life. Not the usual "I hate my life" crap, but life. LIFE. She HATES being alive. All of this crap makes her just hate herself. She thinks I should move on, go away, that I deserve somebody better...i don't know, tons of crap.
Awhile back I joined Facebook (resistance is futile!). I don't know what to write on there for the update crap, and certainly didn't want to be one of those people that puts every. damn. thing. they. do. on there. Jeff is eating a sandwich. Susan needs coffee. Hank has a tumor. You know what I mean. 500 updates a day about mundane shit. Aaaanyway, I decided I would try and be different, so I would post movie quotes and have my friends try to guess the movie. Sometimes, I would do a name that tune thing where you guess the song from the lyrics...whatever. Well, she would check my FB and see all these people knowing shit that she didn't know, and think that there was another reason she isn't "The One" for me. You know, because she hasn't seen Capricorn One or some stupid movie. Then, she stared seeing all these girls on there talking about hockey, movies, music, sandwiches...whatever. Bam! She then starts telling me that I'm LOOKING for someone else. I'm not. Well, Facebook then turned into something that just triggered bullshit and fights all the time. So, I deleted my account. THEN, she stars crying and telling me how she really DOES suck and why would I want to be with someone that makes you STOP talking to your friends...etc. So then NOT being on Facebook was causing problems. No matter what was going on, there was no correct thing to do. I was/am always in no win situations. It all goes back to her thinking she's this horrible person, and I'm just pretending that I'm happy with her.....it's just this non-stop, tiring thing.
So....I can't convince her, get her to believe that I love her and am happy with her. I'm not happy with how things ARE, but it's not HER ya know? It's all just making ME feel worthless and like a huge failure in life, the universe and everything. I've battled depression as long as I can rememebr. I was one meds in my teens, got better, stopped, was fine for awhile. I got down again, really down, had a nervous breakdown, got CBT therapy. It worked, for awhile anyway, but lately I just can't seem to talk my way out of all these negative thoughts. I think, no I know, that if I owned a gun, I would've ended it by now.
I feel worthless. Useless. Pointless. I AM just taking up space. There are so many great people. I'm not one. I don't even know what the hell I'm trying to say.
I don't know what I'm trying to say.
I just feel like I don't belong here. I just don't do things right. I can't do things......right. Whatever "right" is. I'm not good at being a son. Not a good friend. I failed at finding someone, getting married, having a life, which is what I thought we are SUPPOSED to do. Grow up, get a job, find someone, get married, live die. I grew up! Woohoo! I've had jobs! YES! The rest......I fail. I'm failing right now with my current girlfriend.
My depression lately, is not a "boo hoo, woe is me." thing. I'm not crying as I write this and feeling sorry for myself. It's that I really don't see WHY I'm here. There is no reason for me to be here. Other than going to work every day, doing my job, going home...lather rinse repeat....I do nothing.....useful? Maybe that's not the word. Reason?
I have no reason. No point. I am pointless. without point. lol
I provide nothing. I am not leaving it better than I found it. I should just step aside, and let someone else have the air, food, water, what have you...that I"m am using up. Al Gore should do a movie about me, and how I'm slowly killing part of the world. lol
There should be more to me. I have a hollowness. I don't know....I don't know how to put it. I"m not like everyone else. I'm not supposed to be here.
This post, like me, was pointless.

Solo or so low?

I've felt before you how feel now. Want to feel better? Do things for other people, even little things. Watch for things you can do to help somebody out--- even strangers. Sounds stupid, but it works. Best of luck to you. You're hurting now, but things will get better if you look outside yourself.
Purpose is what you're looking for. I know. I spent three years feeling like you did when you wrote this. Eventually I found purpose and with it, happiness. Hang in there, and keep your senses open to purpose...
I don't know how this feels. I have been through depression, maybe am even currently going through it, but I tend to attribute this to my circumstances. You seem to be experiencing a chemical imbalance exacerbated by circumstance. You also have a history of depression. Maybe, while you're finding your purpose, cause really, everyone does have one, you should get some drugs from your doctor. Anyway, don't kill yourself. Just don't do that.
Hello, I just came across your blog and read your post. I ´ve never suffered real depression but i certainly know what it is like to feel worthless, without point and asking myself what is this life all about? I just want you to know, you´re not here for nothing, you have a purpose. And as silly as it may sound to you, there´s somoene who loves you so much that he was willing to die for you. Yep, I´m talking about Jesus. He´s the One who gives purpose to my life and he also created you to love you if you only let him. I just pray for you, and hope you will get better. I also hope everythings better with your girlfriend. With love. Zuzka
(it says in Bible “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”)
When I come across this blog, well, I read the latest post, "Solo or so low" and I have to say, I am so glad it was not about Star Wars!
Aside from that I was trying to explain depression to someone the other day... who was that...? I don't remember, but I kept saying "I know it doesn't make since, even as I feel it, but I still feel it." It's just flat out crazy, right? And if you haven't been there, it can sound pretty confusing. Although, things that people say are confusing usually don't confuse me, like time travel plots. (Inception confused the heck out of me though. Usually I get it *shrug*)
Babbling.
I do have another point.
I got married. And my wedding pictures weren't as nice as everyone else's and my husband seemed a little sub par, and I was depressed and the "honeymoon period" that's supposed to be the first year was more like a day and a half.
But none of it was true if I took out everyone else in the picture. When it's just me and Jeff, without the nice wedding pictures and my friends' awesome college graduate husbands... when it's just us I'm looking at it works. It makes a kind of sense. I don't like his movies and he can't stand mine. Our music annoys us. Food, clothes, hobbies, activities- all of it, he looks at me and says "you're weird," and I look at him and say "why on earth would you want to do that?" Underneath all that is what makes it work. I can stand him. He has a stability and practicality that rubs off on me when I need it. And As for what I do for him, his life needed to a little crazy.
So my point is, hang in there. It's not about what every one else says it's about. There's the word (media, movies, gossip, the perception of perfection) buts it's all an illusion that I do think we'd want even if we could have it. What is real is that day to day live, getting up, finding the next meal and so forth. And there's a beauty to it if we let there be. Even with depression because you can't control how you feel, but you can control what you do about it.
I hope that helps, because it helped me to read your blog.
hey hang in there i was browsing though and wanted you to know its important even if you dont want to to get out of bed and do something. i also have problems with depression and it helps do to anything sometimes
