I have everything I could ask for. A loving family, friends and my cat. My family supports me and I live on welfare and they tell me I’m not a burden. I know all these things and appreciate their efforts but my depression brings me down. I can’t hold a full time job and I don’t know if I ever will. The only reason I’m alive is because I imagine my loved one’s reactions to seeing me dead. And tbh, I don’t want to die. I just want the painful hopelessness and unbearable fatigue to stop. I don’t understand why I can’t just be happy. It doesn’t seem logical. I have a few happier months and then several months of depression. Ik I should focus on the happier months but it’s hard to see what the point is of everything sometimes.
