Do You Ever Feel Useless?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I always have waves in my life of not feeling good enough. It keeps me up at night and gives me panic attacks. To think that I've been trying my hardest and that there's a voice inside my head saying that no one cares about me or my efforts really hurts.

Hi @A MyDepressionTeam Member A lot of the things you’re experiencing are symptoms of depression. Talking to others on this site is a good step. Try reading others’ stories to find people with the same symptoms as you.
Unfortunately I’m not able to help myself without medication and therapy so I don’t know how much help I can give you. But I’m here whenever you want to talk. Take care. (((Hugs)))

No thanks. As a matter of fact, it specifies in my profile that I'd rather not hear things such as "get help" specifically because I am on this site for just that: getting help. This is my version of it. This is me trying to reach out.

Hello Leels .. a lot of us on this site have heard those same "voices" / negatives in our self talk. They are NOT true !!!! You need to talk about your fears to a health care professional .. BUT MORE IMPORTANT - YOU NEED TO FIND SUPPORT - Look and see if there is a "Support Group" - mental health resources in your community. What would be most helpful is for you to hear that you are not the only person that is having those same thoughts - and - there are things you can be doing to offset those feelings. Get looking for support. There are better days ahead with help !! Hugs, Sandra
