The dark impulses come to all of us, but many struggle to overcome them. For some it keeps coming and they grow weary of fighting it and just let go.

The biggest myth in the world is that people who kill themselves are cowards, or are taking the easy way out, or any of that. People who unfortunately fall victim to that are in tremendous pain that most of us never know.
the CBZ community is here to support you 100%. Hope you get through it. My best friend's father is also dealing with depression and it runs down to him.brickman;3264239 said:I suffer from depression and take medication for it. It's really hard to explain because some days are fine and others you feel like you don't matter at all in the world and everything is crashing in around you. The littlest thing can tip the scale and you just feel helpless. It's tough and the biggest toll is your family trying to understand and cope with your mood swings. I can assure you it is no fun. You feel like you just want to get away from everything and everyone and "hide" from it.
I know it won't help in times when you are hardest hit, but you matter to this forum.brickman;3264239 said:I suffer from depression and take medication for it.

Terrible side effects to every med I've ever tried, but I wish you the best and always remember the good things. Lots of them in your life and mine. As for me I try to combat it with family,diet, exercise,sports and prayer. (I also steer away from depressants such as alcohol)
BTW.....this forum is awesome. Many compassionate, caring folks here.
