Depression sucks. I'm so sorry you're dealing with it at the moment. It's like wearing a 300-ound weight on your back.
I spent most of last year in a severe depression. Didn't want to see anyone, talk to anyone, go anywhere.
Even with several meds, a light box for seasonal depression every fall, and a counseling session once a week, I was an absolute mess. Part of it was being unemployed for the past few years, and losing hope of ever finding work again. I spent most of my time playing solitaire on the computer and dragging through the rest of the day.
One night last December I decided I was sick and tired of being depressed, and symbolically threw away the depression. For some reason it helped, but I have no idea how or why. Since then I've had a few ups and downs but generally feel much better.
When I was in the middle of the depression, I couldn't imagine that it would ever go away. Yours will go away at some point.
Every human being has worth. You have worth. You're too depressed to see it at the moment, but you will realize it when you feel a little better. Good luck to you in getting over this. You will. And DU folks are here for you.
