Does it ever get better?

[glitterycheese]

Currently struggling with a lot of things like always but even more so now with the start of a new job, friend drifting and being invisible to most of my family.

I am beginning to feel like I am not real and half the stuff that's going on around me isn't happening. Like a weird dissociation, some days I don't even feel like I am myself.
It's a person controlling me and I'm on the sidelines.

I just want to ask if anyone has felt the same or if at all maybe gets better? I don't know i'm just at this point now.

I dont think it will get better unless miracle will happen....and I dont count on it.

In some ways, things feel less intensely painful for me now- so, I suppose that's an improvement. I've also experienced friendships drifting apart. At the time, it was extremely painful. Now, I just accept it. To the extent that I probably wouldn't even make the effort to see them again. It's double edged though. In feeling less pain, I feel less joy too. Plus, I don't go out seeking joy and connection really because I don't want the experience of losing it again.

Regarding work- that's just a constant worry for me. I never see that changing unfortunately.

As to whether things can get better- sure they can. They can also stay the same or, get worse! Unfortunately. All we really have the power to do is to cope with them as best we can. Try to make decisions that lead us where we want to go.

Some things get better for some people and some it gets worst. Life is a gamble

Not for me ... however I know it has for some.

I don't know. I'd like for things to get better, but I'm extremely skeptical that they will.

No body knows who you are or what you've tried, so I don't think people can answer this question for you.
Perhaps breaking your circle could help, since you seem to be getting stuck.

I wouldn't mind that kind of chest problems. Would also take a dog

That I have tried but unfortunately as soon as I change one thing I get sucked right back into the cycle

I'm sorry you're going through this, asking a doctor for a therapist can might help you with those things.
I wish you all the best.

For me, it slowly gets worse. The past few years have felt increasingly like my life is a scripted sitcom. It's just plain weird what happens. And it all seems eerily scripted, preplanned, like I'm not really here. The whole world looks like a movie to me.

[Griever]

I don't think it will get better at some point

 

[wiz_miz_03]

It's getting worse day by day for me

 

[glitterycheese]

Augh i know

It's getting worse day by day for me

Same here, i'm not real and I can't keep doing this anymore. I'm so tired.

The context of why people are depressed and suicidal is different for each person so it really depends on the reason.

Maybe trying to be proactive with the things that are under one's control can improve the lives of some people, depending on what causes their Misery, of course.

 

[FrownyFace]

Started creeping in at 15. I'm 24 and it just feels worse and worse everyday. I've lost any hope of things ever getting better

 

[Pale_Rider]

There are periods where it does, but for me; mostly no.

 

[Electra]

If it gets better - it'll get worse.

"Does it ever get better?"
For some people it does. But not for everyone.
I have no way of knowing which applies to you. (And probably you don't either.)

Probably could also post this under recovery, to get a good set of data though I'm assuming you're not looking for that

I also would like to know; if it got better for anyone after 30/40/50 years of shit. I saw a ted talk a lady did, medicated and still depressed 40 years and counting, just continuing living by accepting it will never get better.

Idk if I could ever do that - just continuing living by accepting it will never get better (then again I chickened out from attempting my method, so idk... Maybe I'd be forced to at some point)

no, at this point i'm not. And sure for some it gets better, hell maybe they could find what they truly want to do with themselves. But for me, i'm always getting the short end of these stick.
