What about all the people the police do catch? Why did god choose to save you?

This is how these things always are. Confirmation bias.

I have never heard the exclamation point called "bang" until this very moment. I had to google it to know what you were talking about!

A lot of the things you've mentioned seem to be outside of your control. I know (trust me, i know) how easy it is to get upset about all these things happening to you, but you seem like you've got a good head on your shoulders and are being proactive about your situation.

Keep your head up. You didn't mention any family or friends in your message; do you have a good social support group? Does your current job offer insurance you can get on, if not already on it?

There is no need for you to go through this alone. Good luck. PM me if you need to talk or vent any more.

Seconded on contacting doctor. Possibly seeing a therapist as well might help with easing you off of the medication. I don't know under what circumstances you stopped, but cold-turkey is generally not recommended.

It sounds like you have a lot of pressure on you -- either just from yourself, or from others in your life as well. Talking to a professional can really, truly help deal with these types of scenarios.

Good luck!

I'm going to give it to you straight; that is a lot to be going through right now.

Okay, so first let's talk about your job/schooling. What about student loans? Any chance of getting help in that regard? I know how difficult it can be to try to search for a new job when you are feeling depressed, and that's not something you have to focus on right now, but keep an open ear and maybe look online and something may come up.

If your boyfriend is gay, there is nothing you can do about that. You're still extremely young--imagine if you would have been married for 20 years and then found out? If you didn't know he was gay until he told you, then how can you be expected to tell the difference? Don't be so hard on youself.

It seems you are tying a lot of your self worth to your relationship (something all of us, myself included, do -- even though we absolutely shouldn't), and I totally understand how that along with the other problems could make you feel like shit right now.

The fact of the matter is, a lot of the stuff you mentioned is beyond your control. The things within your control: Job, apartment, grades. And even those have aspects of them that are outside of your control.

My advice: take each day by day, and tackle each issue one at a time. If you try to "fix" everything at the same time you're going to make yourself feel even worse. It's a rut to be in, certainly, but if you start working to fix them now, the "you" of 5 years from now is going to be very appreciative.

Honestly, i'm 28 now, so 5 years ago I was your age, and I can't even remember what I was doing. At every age your life in the present is going to be the most important, and while it's shitty you have to go through this right now, you just have to tell yourself that it will get better.

I don't know your insurance situation, but I think seeing a therapist could really help you. Just to get all this stuff of your chest, if nothing else, but therapists are usually much more help than that. If you want to talk, send me a PM.

You are going to be fine. Take some deep breaths, accept that you're going to feel like shit for a while, and please know that it will not last forever. I can promise you this.

No need to apologize for trying to reach out to others.

If you have the means, I would highly suggest trying to see a professional. Getting on meds at first, to help you out, and then working with a therapist can work wonders.

I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder in like 10th grade and have gone up and down a few major times since. I'm 28 now, and actually going through an episode right now, but based on my past I know that, at some point, things will be better and I will be "okay" again. I'm trying out a new medication (after years of successfully being off) and seeing a therapist, and while i'm still pretty depressed, I know i'm making progress.

One of the things I noticed unique about the emotion of depression, is that it always feels like it's never going to get better. I think this is the worst thing about the disease/disorder/whatever you want to call it, because if one feels like it is never going to get better, why go on, you know?

What you need to do is learn to be smarter than your own depression. Basically say "okay, so you're battering me right now and there is nothing I can do about it, except to know in my heart of hearts that you are wrong, and that one day it will get better."

And I know it will. But you have to reach out. I highly recommend finding a psychiatrist to talk about about your depression. Good luck.
