		<title>NO HELP</title>
		<link>http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36728-no-help/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I got "fired" by my therapist today.  I've been going to county mental health for about a year now.  I've had some lousy therapists, and she was no different, but I was happy to get some kind of treatment.  Today she told me that because I'm in a therapy group, I can't have individual therapy.  Budget cuts.  She claims that she's had to tell a lot of clients this, but I don't believe it.  I bet it's no more than a handful of people, and probably nobody else in that group.  I take it very personally, and she was not sympathetic at all.  I don't matter.  Some people are ALWAYS more equal than others, even in mental health. <br />
<br />
I don't matter, I'm not real, my problems are nothing.  <br />
<br />
I didn't tell her, though I wanted to, about another "problem" that I'm having.  Three weeks ago I ordered some meds on the web, even though I'm basically broke.  These pills can be used in a cocktail to off yourself.  It gives me a bit of hope to think they're coming.  But they're not, apparently.  I did my research a bit and these pills should be legal and much easier to obtain than the other meds, but still no word.  Probably I got ripped off, even in this small thing.  I would like to have at least this little piece of the puzzle around, whether I do anything with them or not.  <br />
<br />
Forgive me for bringing that up.  But being fired from treatment, that's the kind of thing that happens to me.  That's why I bring it up.]]></description>

		<title>Really down</title>
		<link>http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36678-really-down/</link>
		<description>skipped work today, just tired of it all. The commute, my dead life, my car is breaking down, life is grey me. No color. My antidepressant is just a sugar pill I guess. I want to disappear and be done with this mess. Sick of talking to people all day on the phone, like a machine. Sick of all the silly childish rules at this dumb job. Wanna go away.</description>

		<title>So Frustrated</title>
		<link>http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36352-so-frustrated/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been depressed since I was 13 and I'm 19 now. Throughout the years, I've done anything I could to numb myself from the pain (drugs, cutting, eating disorders), which of course only temporarely made me feel better. For the past few months, I've been trying my hardest to stay away from anything self destructive and just deal with my problems. I have been on seven different anti depressants that didn't help. I am currently on lithium, I have been taking it for three years. I thought it helped me, but lately I have been more depressed than ever. I don't even know why my pdoc put me on it when I'm positive I'm not bipolar, I've never been manic, i'm just really depressed. my therapist suggested to see how i do without any meds, so I'm tapering off lithium. I've given up on meds, I am starting to think I will never be happy. I just want to be normal and enjoy my life for once. I'm so fucking sick of being miserable all the time. I want to believe things will get better but nothing seems to help me.]]></description>

		<title>Infatuations</title>
		<link>http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/36279-infatuations/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Am wondering if other depressives out there also find themselves becoming infatuated with people they can never have. My current one is Tessa Virtue (of Olympic Ice Dancing gold medal fame). I happened to be watching this (with my wife) making fun of the prancing about on the ice. We then remarked that some of the girls in the winter olympics are much better looking than the summer olympics.<br />
<br />
Before I knew it, I was googling this girl and realising how incredibly gorgeous and lovely she seems. Became somewhat addicted. Still am - and I'm not an ice skating fan in the absolute slightest.<br />
<br />
No doubt, I'll soon move onto someone else.<br />
<br />
So ... is it just me? Is it a male thing?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel so alone at the moment. I’m filled with dread and anxiety when I wake up in the morning, knowing that I have to face another day, I just can’t bear it. I don’t want to be me. I hate who I am and my stupid existence of a life. Right now, I feel I am only living for my younger sister, because she depends on me. I don't have parents I can turn to and by this age I should be able to sort things out mysel. But I fail miserably. I don’t want to see anyone or have to go out. <br />
<br />
  <br />
<br />
 I feel too ashamed to say what a mess of my life I have made. It’s knowing this and the fact that things won’t improve which is pushing me closer to end my life. Having that thought is the only thing that gives me relief. I know my life isn’t going to improve. I can’t even leave the house without my heart pounding and feeling like the air is too thin. <br />
<br />
  <br />
<br />
 I’m scared though, of what I will have to do to kill myself. I’m scared of the final few minutes of being alive and what that might entail. I’m scared of what I will leave behind. But, I wasn’t cut out for life and each day is a misery that I just don’t think I can take any longer. It's all that is on my mind, how horrible living is and that I want out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
What do you do if you've tried for years to get better and it simply isn't working?<br />
<br />
<br />
