Sorry you are going through this. I've suffered bouts of depression, so can understand to an extent.
This place has it's faults at times, but there are good people here too. Let us/them help you as and when we can. Please don't ever feel a fraud, your problems are every bit as serious as anybody else's. There is no hierarchy of illness here.

Look after yourself. I hope things start to look up for you soon.

Hey @Hawkeye100 I'm sorry the black dog is at your heels again. :(

Allow me to say to you what has been said to me, your pain is as real and true as anyone else's. I gently suggest you set down the feeling that you don't deserve to feel down. You do! It's a fact, and that's all it is.

I hope you can log in at least and just hang out in chat or something. Message me if you want a commiseration...I've got BP2 and depression is always waiting to throw the blanket over me.

I was going to say what @london60 amd @AllIn4Luv said. You’re not a fraud.

Depression is a stone-cold, heartless bitch that can ruin lives. Every time we get out of an episode successfully, we should celebrate our strength and resolve, whether we used medication or not.

Hit me up any time if you want to talk.

Anxiety and depression have literally taken over my life. There are more bad days than good and most days I wake up wishing I hadn’t. I think the most negative things about myself and always assume so does everyone else. It’s definitely a mind fuck for sure. And it doesn’t help when you don’t have a supportive spouse or family. They add to it if anything. I’ve been dealing with this since I was very young. I thought after losing my grandfather to suicide a few months ago would change my mind on things but it’s a hard battle to overcome.
 
I have anxiety and depression. I could wake up in a great mood and say, I break a nail or something stupid like that and my whole mood will be shot for the rest of the day or if someone says something negative about me or something I did I take it, way too hard. I really shouldn't do this, but I can't help it, it's how my mind is wired. I have a really hard time making/keeping friends irl too because I assume everyone just doesn't like me, which doesn't help and my family just has the mentality of "you'll get over it".
I also have insomnia and epilepsy...

It's like you've taken a page out of my book... I wake up in a good mood and it can quickly change due to a variety of things. I can't control what changes my mood; I try my best not to let things bother me. I can't stand it when I'm told that "other people get the good side of you but I only get the bad." At times it makes me wonder if people think that I'm "only giving them the bad side" on purpose! It's enough to drive me crazy.
I have ADHD, Anxiety, Asthma, Chronic Pain, Depression, Hypersensitivity with my nerves (it literally feels like I have bugs crawling on me at times), Insomnia, OCD, and PTSD. I mention Asthma as it adds chaos into everything else I listed.
I've got a great clusterfuck going on in my head but I've been getting help for 4 years.
I've got a wonderful mess going on in the rest of my body. My Chronic Pain and Hypersensitivity go hand in hand; they just love to set each other off! I'll never be 100% pain free but my pain can be reduced to a tolerable level at times.

For my part, i suffer from psychasthenia. :confused:

Psychasthenia :
Neurosis linked to a decrease in psychological tension, characterized by psychic disorders (lack of attention, powerlessness to act, lack of resolution, permanent doubt, progressive loss of sense of reality), usually accompanied by physical disorders (anxiety, lack of appetite, insomnia, headaches and various pains).

Plus, of course, depression, asthenia, agoraphobia...

Ahh, life is fun ! :rolleyes:
