".........everything thing in life Dave it's down to you no-one else............"

- its how you take the knocks that life throws at us......

If you want motivation - what works for me is when I'm down I walk through the Churchyard and read the gravestones - this always reinforces to me when its over its OVER - there's no second chances - just grab a hold of it and dig in for the fight of a lifetime!!!

Good Luck and enjoy the ride

Best wishes Dave

Yes...u have evry right to feel like this.

I suffer from depresion, and am a single mum, was brought up in foster care, also bulimic, and on benefits, and some people seem to feel sooooo sorry for me......but sod it....why should they??

they probably have problems of their own, just not as publis as yours!!

Dont let this discourage you from phoning the samaritans though, you just got an annoyingly bad talker. If u need to chat, make sure u pick up the phone and call them, not all of them are like that woman!

You don't say if you are receiving any therapy or medication for your problem. If not then why not? You state your condition, is that your own diagnosis or a doctors? If you are not receiving the proper treatment then that is the first step you must take to help you get your life on the road that you want. If you are receiving help then you need to speak to your doctor/therapist about the rage/anger/low self esteem that you are suffering from. I have phoned the samaritans during bouts of depression and have never had anyone condesending (thankfully) but if she was you should have told her that she was not helping you by her attitude and you wanted to speak to someone else. You will not solve your problems by emigrating, you will just take them with you and find that you are in an even more lonely and alien place. I feel from your question, that you are not receiving help, or not the kind you need. You must take the first step yourself, no-one can help you if they don't know what you are suffering. Please go to the doctor and speak to him/her and they will put in motion the arrangements for you to get the help you require. As you have been on your own with this for such a long time it will probably take a great deal of courage on your part to take that first step, but remember your wish list, it can't even begin if you don't. The help is there for you and non-condesending people who will listen to you without judging you. Help yourself to start a new life, go to the doctor. Good luck.
