I'm sorry you're feeling that way. At times in my life, I've felt that way too, but then I tried telling myself that as long as I was alive, there was always hope that things would get better. (besides I would have never tried suicide, I'm too much of a coward) It was just the way I felt at the time, usually due to some circumstance that was making my life miserable. Hang on...things can get better. They did for me. I'm not deliriously happy all the time by any means but for the most part I'm a lot better. I think part of it is that I'm just too stubborn to let other people control my life to such a point that they make me feel that miserable.

Of course with the depression you are dealing with, I know it's not always that easy. When I went to some AA meetings with my stepdad, I always liked hearing the serenity prayer, about accepting things you can't change, changing things you can and knowing how to tell the difference. Without consciously being aware of doing that, I do think that I've learned to let go of a lot of the past, especially growing up the way I did. I think I finally just accepted that all the worrying about it in the world won't make it change. There's nothing that can erase history and make it different, so I've just filed it back in my mind and try not to dwell on it.

What is making you so unhappy right now? Other than the obvious...depression? If you feel like talking let us know.

Take care,
Sandy
