I don't want to live anymore. I feel alone and useless. I don't want my family to suffer for me either. What can I do?
Dear Ariel,You do not need to explain.I know this feeling well. I spent 3 years in very deep depression and wanted to die every day. I tried committing suicide once but failed. I felt useless and worthless and totally alone. I still remember what it was like. I know the bottomless pit. I also know how to get out of it and to dissolve the depression once and for all.I strongly recommend you go to my blog at lifesanswers.org and read everything there about depression and how to get rid of it. Do all the practices and suggestions listed there. Do that starting today.Having said that. A couple things that are very important….First, if you die in depression, in the darkness, it will follow you. There is no relief in death. It will actually feel worse and even more real. Plus you will add guilt to the mix. So suicide is really not a good option.Second, you can get rid of the depression and the feelings of uselessness if you commit yourself to it. It will take work on your part by you can do it. You are not alone. There are people who care about you and you should make them a part of your support system.Third, you need to find a good therapist who has experience with depression. Make that person a part of your support system as well.I tell you these things from my experience and the experience of hundreds of other people I have worked with and helped.You can get out of this dark pit, this pain that never seems to end. You can do it. The darkness is lying to you.Remember, you are not alone and you are not worthless no matter what that inner dialog tells you.Take careJon
Why do I feel so useless?
you shouldn't ask such question unless you are depressed, Go to a psychiatrist and start taking one of the SSRIs, They are very effective and have no side effects. I personally recommend you to take one of the SSRI pills alone and nothing more.(that usually psychiatrists prescribe.) They have nasty side effects and are not good for your health, They can make your depression even worse as well. You should also KNOW the fact that each of these antidepressants can have really different effects for each person, For example, I can easily take seatraline and it makes my depression much better, but I can't take citaloprom, Even after taking single 10 mg of it, I will get really nasty side effects. so if you didn't get good results after taking sertraline(for example), you should try another SSRI after two weeks, The pause is necessary, SSRIs shouldn't be taken together. The minimum time of seeing results for an SSRI is one month to three month, I should go now, Good luck.

you need to dump him and if you were useless why would he still be with you ? he is using you and attacking you makes him feel better about himself dump him cause things won't get better
