Bitterness and Severe Depression

NAS90559

My severe depression has caused me to become bitter as a result of having lost interest in the activities I once enjoyed doing and the TV shows I used to enjoy binge watching such as my once favourite British soap operas. The only thing I've restricted myself to are books and mental health awareness videos on living with depression and suicide prevention. I just hope I don't end up taking out my severe depression on innocent people outside this environment and having my personal issues affect them.

    Hey OP,

    In recent past i have felt the way you do. I know i will again. It is a cycle i have dealt with all my life. I never thought i would be the person that needed the Samaritans, but Neil is right. 

    I reached out when i was at my darkest and spoke to a very kind lady. She listened and didnt tell me what to do. She offered comfort and support, and in that crisis period stopped me from doing something drastic. 

    I dont have the answer to cure depression, but there are tools to help manage the despair. This forum being one of them. Keep talking my friend. Even when you dont want to. It really does help. 

    You dont have to go it alone. 

    Sending you my thoughts. 

  • I'm very sorry to hear this, and I expect it would be little consolation to know that I have been in a similar state recently. Please keep talking here and consider seeking further support, such as through Samaritans: Contact Us | Samaritans Please be kind to yourself and believe that you will get through this difficult period.
