Will I be depressed for ever?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been really depressed now for 5 or 6 years, and some of the time suicidal, I want to be a sports teacher so I can help kids play sport, and not go in the wrong direction. I'm not saying if you don't play sport there's something wrong with you, but when kids get bored they usually do bad things. I just feel to low to get up and do anything at the moment, getting out of bed is difficult. I'm only happy when i'm doing something I enjoy i.e music, tv etc. When I just sit back and think, I feel like jumping off a bridge. How long's this gonna go on for, my head's like a torture chamber. I feel alone, and i'm tired of life now. How am I gonna feel in another 5 years time?

Who here do you think is qualified to answer this question ?

If you are asking if others have lived through years of depression and overcome. Then yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Endure, it will pass, that which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Just yesterday, I read that discontent can come from looking either within at self; or looking without and comparing your life against how you perceive other people's lives are. As for myself, I could not snap out of depression permanently until I looked up at God and read what He has to say about life in His book. This doesn't mean I don't have my "blue moments" or more challenging days, but when I compare my life now to how I felt decades ago...I'd never want to go back to how I was (but I would like to go back to how life used to be...like how it was in America in the 50's).

I agree with you on this. Depression is something I often struggle with because of the lonliness that comes along with Aspergers. For me listening to worship music cheers me right up.

Get your thyroid gland checked.Your seratonin levels may be too low.
