you fight until you can't fight no more. There are people depending on you and they need you to fight.

Hey man Cena will be champ in a few days. Things are turning around!!!
I am not treating your situation as a joke I am just trying to hopefully lighten the mood.

Idk, how much i'd wanna say on here, in case anyone knows me IRL... it's just a feeling of losing everything, or not knowing what to do. My son is gone for the summer with his mom.. I'm not homeless or jobless or anything... but I have this feeling of not being where i'm supposed to be at in life.. just fricking everything up as soon as it goes good.. and i feel like i'm failing.. even though i have one person who relies on me for everything.. and feeling like im a burden on others who are there for me.. yet not wanting to be a burden.. so giving up feels like the right thing to do so their lives will be easier cause i can't live with the thought of hurting or inconveniencing anyone else because my life isn't worth someone elses..
In all that I saw two key words.....

That right there is what you keep fighting for. No matter what shite life throws at you, you fight it off and you do it for him. He needs his father. If you can't fight and be strong for yourself,m then do it for him.

Expectations about where you're supposed to be in life will kill you.
Spend your time worrying about who you want to be and what you want to do (within reason). Work on being a good friend, good dad, good employee, whatever. That is stuff you control.
Know also you don't have to get there today.

if you do something like you are suggesting you will hurt more people than you probably realize. You said you have a son, that should be enough to get anyone through anything, don't let that boy grow up without a father man up and live your life for that boy, your son. If nothing else in this world will make you want to live keep your son in mind. Keep your head up and know it will get better.

For a lot of people, divorce sucks. Then for some, seems like they don't even care. I kinda wish I was more like them.
For me, the hardest part about divorce was when the kids were gone. Man, the house felt so empty. And I would start feeling like a failure as a husband and father. But it's just your brain processing things in a depressed way. Don't believe it. I bet most of the people close to you don't feel anything close to the way you are feeling about yourself.
I feel for you. Unless you've been through it, tough to understand. Just keep plugging away, it always gets better eventually.

You sound like I did about a year ago. It's not really true though. You aren't burdening anyone and the world would not be a better place without you.
Bottom line: you either kill yourself and end up a number or fight through it and tell your grandchildren the most unbelievable story about how their grandfather was once close to killing himself.

people who have never been depressed have a hard time understanding the thoughts that can cross your mind. When you're down you don't even want to do anything anymore, including trying to better yourself.
Even though it may not seem like it now, you have to understand that time makes everything better. You'll learn from your mistakes and get stronger from them. When I was down, I couldn't see how I could ever be happy again, but now I am thankful for those rough days, because they made me a better and stronger person, and now I am happier than ever.
One mistake I made was feeling as though talking about my problems with other people would burden them, so I never told anyone what I was going through. If I had any advice to give you it would be to talk to someone close about it, and hold your head up and try to keep busy and moving. Things will work out.

Try doing something different. Anything. Like the smallest thing. It's the act of doing something that helps. Close the computer. Go outside. Just lay on the ground. Whatever. Go talk to a bartender. Go to the library. Call an old friend. Go to the bookstore, coffee shop, whatever. Anything. Run! Kick! Jumping jacks!
Sure, you have to push yourself to do it. You usually don't want to do anything but that just makes things worse. Something tiny will get the ball rolling. You can't figure it all out in one day, or two or hell, years but you have to get started so you aren't just wallowing anymore.
