I know how you feel. Currently I am totally paralyzed by depression. I have so many problems that need to be addressed, but rather than doing so I am just hiding. Eventually If I do not get my act together I will end up on the street because I have absolutely no one to help me. Cheer up , as stupid as it sounds, things could be a lot worse. Your could have a terrible genetic disorder like I do in addition to your depression

Thanks for the kind words !
hey man just know you are not alone and if you are paralyzed by depression and anxiety there is no reason to go untreated.. and im not talking about taking brain altering ssri's or antidepressants even though that may be what works for you but there are baby steps you can take to improve everything about the way you currently feel. Do you mind me asking if you currently smoke alot of weed?
Not at all. I did. But i quit last year. Since then my issues have dulled slightly . But so has my abilty to escape and be happy. I use to smoke to deal with the pain of my nf type 1 - which is a genetic disorder. Now I just suffer. I use to be self employed so I never had to worry about drug tests, but after loosing my business, I know every good job does them
Yeah dude it really does seem you have had a tough run so far. I know once you start working again and exhausting yourself mentally and physically in a good way you will feel much better but I still feel like you should talk to a physician about some relief because no one needs to suffer or feel trapped life is too short and precious. Remember when you go to talk to a doctor you don't have to act on there recommendation but what could it hurt hearing what is out there for you. Best of luck buddy and I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks for the advice. Sadly because of my disorder I have a weak liver. Any type of pain medication make me sick. One time when I broke my shoulder they gave me morphine by iv and only like one tenth my dose and I blacked out so they stopped. Weed was the only thing that didnt make me ill.
This may sound dumb but have you been to a doctor to get help & on depression meds? I suffer from depression as well & its no fun & i cant imagine what your going thru alone! I hate to hear you have no one around to help you. You dont have family near by??
My dad doesn't want to hear anything about it, and my mother has even worse problems than I do. Whenever I talk to her she just calls me a loser and stupid, so I just stopped talking to her. Plus she has told me to " just fucking kill yourself already" and she has also said " I am going to come down there and shoot you" a few other times. Thank god guns are hard to get in Canada lol. Last time I talked to her after a 6 month hiatus she said that she was going to throw away all my baby stuff.
That's all I have for family. Don't have any real friends per se.
Omg thats completely horrible!!! No one should ever say that to you & im so very sorry you have no support or anyone to help you get thru your issues. What about getting into a doctor for help?
Don't have the money at this time to do so. Currently jobless. But I am sure I will manage. I am use to being on my own. I have been on my own for most of my life. And probably will always be. At this point, I think it is just in my best interest to steer clear of my family. Thanks for the kind words
I wish i could help more I hate to hear of someone with depression issues & no help. I dont know what i would of done without support. If you ever need advice please ask im happy to be a friend :) it sounds like its wise to stay away from your parents with the toxic things that are said to you!
Thank you for the kind words. It is nice to know that I have someone I can relate to on here. I once went to a doctor for mental issues as a kid to deal with the trauma that went along with the sexual abuse I was subject to as a child. But it didnt go that well. My dad and mom just made up some story about how they were abused as children to and to get over it.
Thats aweful no one deserves that kind of treatment & to ignore those kind of issues is insane! Thats alot to deal with & to cope & get over. Im so very sorry thats happened to you!
