Thank you all very much. This forum is kinda my last ditch effort to reach out for support.

It seems like every time I try to “get help” I end up feeling even more beat down &/or sorry that I confided.

I have talked to a therapist. I was on antidepressants for a few years. But I feel like I’m just circling the drain; some days nearer the top, some days the bottom.

Things I have &/or am dealing with: dysfunctional family; family history of depression, anxiety, drug abuse, suicide attempts, self harm, personality disorders (I suspect so anyway);
in myself: depression, anxiety, self loathing, self harm, being a weak coward, (i could go on with that thread but won’t). My parents both have degenerative diseases; I try to be caregiver but am falling short.

I know it sounds selfish, but all I want in the world is to live in my house with my husband (the only person I’m hanging in there for) and my fur babies and leave the entire rest of the world behind. But even the joy in those things are being “syphoned” out of me. (like you said esikora). Im angry all the time and can’t feel happiness anymore.

Nothing selfish about wanting to live in peace with your husband and fur babies...
Women,in particular, sometimes feel they must meet some "standard" and get taken advantage of. Then they feel guilty when they get angry...
Peace be with you.

I am feel so angry too! I take meds for depression, anxiety and insomnia. My husband has cancer . COVID triggered all fears and still does .

I am on Bezzy for depression chat group. I shared about taking Ketamine for about all of the things you described in yourself dealing with daily. Sounds much like me. It helped my PTSD but has been a year and a half since i started it. My anxiety still eats me alive. Few things help those of us with so many reasons for do many mental & emotional illnesses. Perhaps look into Ketamine treatments. I had a remarkable recovery for a while. Much struggle has returned but I’m not dead. I was very desperate. Just reaching out with an idea. Prayers for you.
