hard times because of saturn?

[yourgod]

i have saturn transit the first house in my chart, and the effects of saturn are really obvious. But it is evolving to a level of un-ability to keep up with it.

Depression is hitting very hard, with extreme sense of isolation from the outer world. and this isolation is evolving to complete alienation from other people, and old life routines.

Feeling of hoplesness is increasing to the extent of suicidal thoughts, and a deep desire to escape the whole world as feeling so lonely and "NAKED" to be really accurate.

has anyone been through things like this before ?

From personal experience and those of many others, this can definitely be a life changer; you begin to think about how you are interacting with others and question the reasons why you may be facing difficulty; you begin to question even life itself. You will be getting a double hit now, with Saturn retrograde, and this is especially difficult since it transits natal Pluto; this can set up 'make-it' or 'break it' scenarios and if you have been contemplating suicide you need to seek out counsel in order to get some perspective on things. Many others have been through what you are going through and the same transit over my Scorpio ascendant was nearly devastating many years ago; yet I am still here as a testament that you can survive it, by learning the right tools to navigate through the labyrinth of your Soul. Yes it can trigger a deep sense of isolation, and you need to take control of your depression through appropriate treatment. I can tell you that I have also survived depression, but only through treatment, which did actually last a long period of time. The truth is that you cannot talk yourself out of this state of hopelessness and despair; it does demand action, since depression is typically the result of problems in the brain chemistry; it is not just a matter of being sad. You are now meeting up with your true self, as if being newly born, and you have to establish a path for reconstructing yourself. Indeed it can be a long and arduous journey but recovery is possible, as I have proven to myself, and your Pluto in Scorpio is the testament to that; you will be a survivor and this is no time to just give up. If you are feeling so low at this point, please, please reach out to mental health services and do not be afraid to call a mental hot-line. You do have the Grand Trine, as a badge of the survivor, which is soon to be activated by Pluto in transit, and that is where your hope lies. Please feel free to PM me for help.
