Chronic Depression [View all]
I've been dealing with depression all my life. But I've always thought that one day I would "grow out of it". But nope, I'm 29 and not only do I still have depression but it's gotten worse along my ADD and than you throw my Asperger's Syndrome on top of that along with still living at home and you've got one fine mess. I've had rough patches but things have gotten to a point where I feel truly hopeless. When I look to the future all I see is me sleeping on the streets or if I'm lucky maybe working a minimum wage job for beer money and sleeping in my truck. I'm not an alcoholic, I don't even drink that much. But lately the escape it provides is looking tempting. Sometimes I can induce a temporary state where I'm "high" from moral outrage and use that to avoid my problems. But it doesn't work like it used to. I'm going to see a psychiatrist on Dec 4 though I'm not sure how much it'll help. It's even getting to a point where I've contemplated suicide. I honestly can't remember a point in my life where I didn't have a low self-image. Is there hope? I don't honestly know?
