Tabby68,
Sorry to hear you're having such a bad day. Hang in there and take some time today to start familiarizing yourself with our program tools. It will start to help you understand what depression is and the effect it can have on you and your relationships.
Also be sure to start reading through our forums. Many of our members have felt just as you do now, so try not to be too hard on yourself. You're not alone.
If you have any questions, just ask. We are always here to help.

I just enrolled in this program. I sure hope it works. I feel so hopeless and useless right now. I just want to curl up in a corner and cry. My husband tries to understand, but his main thing is that I'm "shutting him out". Like it's even about him. I just wish I had never been born. Why does the world have to be so cruel and full of pain??
Lost,
Welcome to the Depression Center!
As you can see, you're not alone. Just as Ava said, baby steps. Our program allows you to work at your own pace. You may want to start with a small goal and work from there.
Ex: I will fill in my mood tracker everyday.
or
Ex: I will read one thread everyday.
If you have any questions along the way, don't hesistate to ask.
Keep us posted.

I felt the same way when I started. But I used the structure to keep myself going. It's all very small steps, just a little each day adds up. Get yourself a good spot to keep your papers and worksheets, maybe some nice coloured folders or a special pen, set aside time in the day for the computer, brew a cup of tea or coffee or whatever steps make it feel like a comfortable routine. No one expects your whole day to transform, but even if the rest of it goes to hell in a handbasket, you can carve out this one small piece where you start taking baby steps in the right direction. It can work, don't overthink it, just start small and follow the instructions. I wish you all the support in the world.

I just enrolled in this website. I am feeling extremely lost. I know all the the things I am supposed to do to make myself get better, but I feel so hopeless and unmotivated that I cannot seem to help myself.
