I just cant keep living like this, i can see posatives in myself and the things i do, but the results im getting are all negative. They say if you dont try, u automaticaly fale. All im doing is using up alot of energy to get the same result, so why do i bother.
Im feeling very alone and vulnerable.

All my love

Seeing positives in yourself and what you do is good... it is a long hard journey... keep holding on... do you get feedback from others about the good things with you... that is important... helping others is good too... and getting feedback from them is good too...

Not sure what else I can do to give you hope... take care

Dear Mikey

You get a lot of satisfaction when you try hard because when you fail you know you had tried as hard as you could. I went for my VCE exams while sleeping in the streets, I'm an intelligent girl, I knew in other circumstances I could have done a better job of it but I went anyway and got an average result. Average is better than nothing. I come from a violent background. My dad threw us out the week of my exams...

Be brave and try harder

Sounds like your goin bout things the wrong way hun.
Perhaps explain abit more & we'll see if we cant steer u in the right direction.
To be able to see positives is a damn sight better than a lot so dont u dare quit on me or I'll belt your arse!
Promise

Thanks for your message in my diary. You are a dear friend and you continue on with getting through this because you want to get better and because you are a valued depnet member, even during hardtimes in depnet. You care for people and they care for you.

How is work going? Are you working or are you off on sick leave. Perhaps as has been suggested you have a performance review and see what good things you have done - you write yours down and your supervisor writes his and you come to agreement about how your year/6 months has been.

Perhaps it is time to see your psychiatrist for some help.

Go Mike!!!

Mickey, You can do it. We all have to hang in there for the ones that love us, even if we feel unloved. Our mind plays plenty of tricks on us when were depressed. It's the illness telling you negative things. Dont listen to it. Your a wonderful person, keep up the good work.

take care,
