Hey everyone, I'm brand new to the site... any response is appreciated!
I think i've basically been depressed for as long as I can remember. I've always had really low self esteem and I just generally think I'm worthless and that nothing in life will ever make me happy. My brother committed suicide 6 years ago... and it has been weighing heavily on me lately.
I have recently developed a problem with anxiety which I think is related to all the stress the suicide has caused me over the years. It is making the depression worse. I feel like I don't want to continue to have to deal with life if it is so hard to even feel normal. I don't feel like a real person or like I have a real personality. It's like living in some sort of fog.
Just feeling so.... hopeless. How do you find the will to keep dealing with everything life throws at you?
