My depression is so bad it feels like my brain is melting. It feels like my brain is melting every second i stay alive and don’t kill myself. I genuinely can’t stand it anymore. I feel like my world is ending but this feeling just keeps lasting. I feel like i’m constantly in fight or flight mode but can’t actually do anything. I thought something would eventually give and I’d be happy but it never has. It has been 7 or 8 years and it still hasn’t stopped. I can’t stand feeling like this every day. It feels like I’m dying but i never do. It feels like I’m constantly about to shoot myself except i don’t have a gun.

That was supposed to be a metaphor but it is also true. I don’t have one or I wouldn’t be here.

My brain genuinely feels like it is melting from how much i can’t stand existing. I can’t stand it. Why can’t it all end? I can’t stand it.

I wish I could give some advice, but I'm going through the exact same thing right now, and it's a horrible feeling..

Did you get any help with this? I’m exactly the same. Literally feels like my brain is melting and breaking down bit by bit. Every time I wake up I want to cry because I’m still alive. I know it’s all caused by depression and the only way to “cure” it is medication.. I’m fed up of medication now so I don’t take it anymore but my head can’t take the pressures of everyday life.

No. It hasn’t gotten any better. I’m sorry that you’re going through it too.
