I have two daughters who suffer from depression and all that you say is true. They have both tried meds and it only made things worse. Its a horrible state to be in, with little hope in sight...but you still must keep fighting.

    I will fight and I'm encouraging others in worst situations to fight until the end and they aren't alone.

I presume you like to rap as well as writing poetry. This piece resonates with it to me. I hope your writing helps you to feel better, releasing the negativity that so often drifts through your written pieces. May peace be with you this Thanksgving.

A very moving and heartfelt poem. You beautifully evoked the feelings of anxiety and depression and how they often work together (Depression meets anxiety, I see them intertwined.) I could easily relate to most of this as one who has experienced these dreaded conditions in the past. I hope poetry has helped you find your way out of this.

The poem sounds much like a rap with good rhyming and not much meter.

Well done.

This poem is very well done. Some great rhymes, the metre is mostly on point and the theme is well stated. But what I like most is this poem exhibits some restraint. The writer is expressive but not overly dramatic.

Great job

Depression and anxiety are like twins, and never far apart from each other. Drugs, either prescription or other, will never release you. Your final couplet is the answer. You need a fresh beginning, and a new start begins with God's forgiveness. With Him alone there is hope.

Well done dear Charity. Depression is quite real and your work puts forward the true situations with depressed minds. I am consoled by the optimism in the concluding line that you are holding on to God for the much needed relief. Wishing you enduring peace and healing. Lol.

I'm so sorry you should live through such depression and anxiety. I suppose they come together. I have never experienced either,. So it's difficult to understand how utterly devastating this must feel. Ulla :)))

I can remember people talking about the surreality about the Great Depression, somehow they got through, there was a massive drought in the US about the same. I remember a close friend committed suicide, about that time my first love dumped me, I lost weight, fell into depression for about 18 months, but the optimism of youth drove me out of it. Beautifully written, Charity, I'll pray, well done, blessings Roy

So many people suffer from anxiety and depression these days and shaking it off and seeing the good things in life pass them by and their lives are often wasted. Being blind to the beauty in this world and only feeling down and helpless is a cycle some can never break out of.

Life can be hard on everybody and we live the life we deserve. If we don't try, then we fail to achieve happiness. I remember hearing a survivor of the holocaust speak once and his positivity and gratitude for life was truly amazing and yet he had suffered hardships that many of us could never imagine.

I am grateful for the simple things in life, like breathing, seeing the sun, hearing music, touching and feeling someone close. Once we appreciate these simple things that touch our heart, we can fill with love and offer love to others.

A poignant write and I hope your friend's condition improves soon Charity, love Dolly x

Very sad but I fear all too real. It confirms my favourite theory, old age really can be a BITCH. But for many, I believe it also houses so many great recollections of time and family gone by. A really good write.
