Can't function at all.

Hello.

I've been away from the forum for a while but needed to come back today. I am going to try sum this up in the best way possible.

Basically I've been suffering from depression, anxiety, ocd and un-alive thoughts/actions my whole life. But things got bad after my mother and father got sick and then died of terminal illness. Its been around nine years since they passed and I have not been able to move on and have left a trail of mistakes and mess and I dont know how to pick myself back up with my depression and my constant suicidal thoughts and actions (yes I've acted on those thoughts in the recent past).

I cant find motivation to face each day to do even the smallest of tasks and my mind is a dark place and full of confusion. Watching robin williams onterview earlier he described his feelings with depression and un-alive thoughts so well that it made me see that I may never overcome this and it will be a constant and eventually I will leave this world by my own two hands.

I have no idea what to do anymore accept let the darkness take me away.

Anything you have advice or similar feelings is appreciated. Thanks.

Hey Childheart. I'm sorry to hear about your parents. I've struggled with those kind of thoughts and OCD definitely doesn't help.

My advice would be to try and find joy in something. A wholesome youtube series, or maybe just take a weekend to eat your favourite foods, hang out with a friend or stay in and watch something fun. I think you'd be surprised to find just how much there is to live for once you find something you enjoy.
