[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dog.

I’m in my late 20s and always thought I’d be married with kids by now. I think I’ll be alone forever at this point. However, when the dog goes I’ll probably go too. [/quote]
Hi friend. Listen, someone who suffers from depression and is married with kids here. That is not a goal. I know it's what society teaches us to want, but it absolutely doesn't make life better in and of itself. Kids are HARD. Kids make life far harder and unhappier. I long for the days I was single and childless in my late 20s. It was an amazing time of growth and a time where I could do WHATEVER THE HELL I WANTED. Which you take for granted now. If you currently feel depressed, please do whatever you can to see the appropriate healthcare providers. You will always come out of the funk and be glad that you did not end it. I'll be glad you didn't end it either. Those of us with depression feel so isolated, but we have to stick together. Take care.[/quote]

I’m the PP and you made me tear up (in a good way!) I think I mainly miss the companionship - I have an awesome day at work or I have a bad day at work and I have no one to celebrate with or vent to. But regardless - I really appreciate you taking the time to provide encouragement, means more than you know :)[/quote]
I’m so glad. Your reply also means a great deal to me. I feel a real kinship with people who know how dark it gets. A year ago I was in such a bad place. I have managed to claw my way out. Maybe in a few years it’ll come back. It always has. But if you’ve made it out once, you can do it again. We’re here. I know what it’s like to be lonely and being in a relationship doesn’t always fix that. As women get older we also start to understand how valuable friendships are. They sustain us through to the end of our lives. My husband supports me in many ways big and small, but without my friends I would just lose it. Take care. <3[/quote]
