Today is the worst. I just feel so empty and alone. I feel like my insides are breaking. The one person I thought I could rely on has failed. The anxiety is just killing me. I have hardly eaten anything in the last few days and all I can think about is how I want to be gone. I just want to feel nothing. I feel like I could have everything in the world and I would still feel sad and alone. Its crap. I have almost forgotten what it feels like to be happy and enjoy something.

I feel like I could have written those words myself. I am feeling exactly the same way as you right now.

My depression has passed and come back again in the last few months. It's so easy to feel hopeless, and like nothing will change. Are you speaking with a counselor? Even when you don't feel like talking, speaking to a counselor can help.

I feel the same today. I have no one. I see a therapist and I can't seem to do the work because I just start crying and I'm heartbroken and I just wish I could make the pain stop. Nothing works. I need more support but my family are distant and I don't have any close friends. I'm only 23. I wish I could encourage you guys, I normally would on a good day. But I feel so helpless so my hearts racing and I can't move or breathe. I wish there was an escape even just for a day

Well my boyfriend of 4 years wants to breakup because he cant deal with my problems. Fair enough I guess. He is the first boyfriend I had and I don't know how I will cope with this. Any advice on breakups?
