Almost 10 Years Later, I Never Thought I'd Be Back

I joined this site way back in the early days of the internet in 2006, and while many advances in technology, and events have happened, one thing remains the same; depression.

I tried counseling to no avail at my university, and I can't go to my trusted therapist of 13 years, and it feels like I'm back again, after adopting many methods to cope, with the latest being diary entries, as I have thought like in the words of Anne Frank that I'm not allowed to have any feelings, so I have to write it down.

Had a good amount of fake "friends" who just took advantage of the car rides I gave them, and the death of my fiancee nearly two years ago, and the final two severed ties later, I feel I have lived my life, and I have only suffered for the past 31 years of my pitiful existence. I have prayed for death, which is just not like me, even in the past two years, since I lost my fiancee to COVID, and my aunt just died of a heart attack four weeks ago.

I feel that my love is dead, only to be surrounded by my mortal enemies, and it has only been the past couple of days I have thought of dying from a heat stroke, with the brutal heat outside, as all I feel is pain. Usually I would know what to do, and my projects would have a bump, or two, but this time, there is no hope. Not even my entries can help with the despair I feel from trying to design something the professor won't think is a pile of garbage. To be honest, I'm terrified of posting here, since as I have gotten older, I have come to trust no one, and this feels like a horrid gamble, more terrifying than the slot machines in Vegas with a $1 million bet, but here I am, horrified...

It's late here so I can't do a long reply but I'm so sorry you lost your fiancee and now your aunt. You are among supportive people here and this is a place you can almost always find a sympathetic ear. There's a good chat too.

I lost my best friend a few years ago, unexpectedly of a rare disease. Also my dad. It takes time to grieve so please be compassionate with yourself. Why do you feel like you are surrounded by mortal enemies?

I'm curious why you can't go to your trusted therapist?

Anyway welcome back. There may not be a cure for depression but there are effective treatments. I have recently discovered the ancient philosophy of Stoicism which is helping me tremendously (don't be misled by the modern meaning of "stoic" - it's not about being unemotional). I find Stoicism so helpful in part because it takes the focus completely away from what anyone else thinks of you or how they treat you.

No longer suicidal after 8 years of depression

Hello my friend, I am sorry for the lost of you aunt and fiancee and aunt, as well as your losing of friends and long battle with depression and suicidal thoughts.
I don't know much to say but i hope your suffering eases, 31 years is way too long to be suffering, that is awful.

Please do not be terrified to post on here. I have been active on here the past few years, and I can safely say this place has the kindest, most caring people who will not judge or criticize you. I understand though since you said you have bad experiences with fake friends, but i truly believe this is a safe and good place to vent, so please keep us updated.

Thank you all for the support in this difficult moment. I really do appreciate that. I am unable to see my therapist because my father was laid off this January, and consequently money tor the health insurance deductible isn't there, so I have to suffer. The people in the university I go to do not make things any easier either, as they've only added to the suffering, thus far.

I'm sorry that you've suffered so much and had so little support.

Does your therapist know there's a financial obstacle?

He knows, but there is nothing that can be done.... I'm on my second bottle of wine tonight, hoping it is the last... Two years later, no hope, but to die by the bottle, I hope...
