Eventually.

what a help,
thanks, no serously worthless junk
im alone, depressed, but heyy, this helped
NOT!
thanks for nothing,

What a load of crap! Then again, I was too restless to finish reading the question about anxiety, too tired to finish reading the question about fatigue, and didn’t feel it was worth finishing the question about self-worth. I knew the test was drawing to a close when the question about suicide came up(why do they always save that one ’til last?), but had already slit my wrists by that point. Beware of people with a sense of humour: they are all depressed!

i agree with depressed dwdette…

why does life suck ??

and why cant i just be happy

oh great, so now i know im depressed, so shou i go commit suicide, i totally agree with that first guy, that was soooo effin helpful…wait a minute, no it wasnt…not even a little bit, so ef that!

i think i may be depressed.
everyone is always asking me “are you okay” ect.
my best friend says I’m always sad.
i have great friends yet i cant seem to enjoy myself around them.
i want to stay at home and sleep all day.
i used to love meeting people, now I’m anti social
I feel like I’m taking painkillers.
a laugh will make the pain go away
then im back to depression
I have no real reason to be depressed
so why am i?
my mother would be heartbroken if i told her
any advice?

yeah that was so helpful
it told me i was depressed
well everythings okay now obviously

I dont know how I will get thru this, I wish I was dead, I have never had an easy life, My Mother was right I’am awfull amd not worth a shit to anyone, Oh God I have no-one and feel so unworthy of anything

hi, i’m 18 and so depressed, have bn for
a long time, i have had a few previous suicide attempts, and no-one knows.
this hasn’t really helped a whole lot, i mean how could it really, seriously?
but anyway, life is tough and i hurt so much and those rwnd me too, but i feel, tht it aint wrth going on, and… i’m not going to.
nobody will understand, but i hope they do someday. xx

hi I’m 22 and can’t stop crying because I am so depressed, I just don’t want to live anymore.
I had depression for a long time and I just don’t feel like coping with it any longer. This doesn’t help at all:( I wish I was dead!!

Totally depressed of everything in life..

I feel like Life is tooooo Long to live..

When living happily itself, should die off..

though people who love me soo much r with me to support n cherish my life, still I feel depressed..

People, I’m sorry that you feel so bad and so very alone in this life. I’m sorry that life is hard for you to manage and that bigh days are so far away right now. But life changes. Things get better. Only if you seek the help and understanding and care that you deserve. People can help make your life better and help the secret pain that you go through in the quiet. Go see a GP, counsellor, school teacher or anyone that will point you in the right direction. Dont give up guys. x

wow. yea he was ryte. what a biq help. thanks a bunch. =[

Jeeze..now i know am definately depressed..that just makes me feel more useless..i think ill go and cut myself now

Atleast some of you guys can tell your parents…if i tell mine they’ll just laugh at me. They always do. I cant pick up the phone and just dial a depression hotline cause there isnt any.

Evn if i do tell my parents, id probably make them feel worse as im already a failure in school and suffer from eczema so i cant wear all the skirts and shorts like evryone else as they will see my marks and ” my mom wouldnt want that”

Can i please die now..i wish i was never born.:’(

i am only 17 and i think i have been depressed pretty much since i was i teenager. i have tried talking to my mom and she thinks i’m just moody or emotional. so i just feel like i’m helpless. everyone thinks i just do it for attention and i wish people would just understand that if i wanted attention i would do something obnoxiously out there to make myself known and all. but i dont. i keep tryin to think of a good way to kill myself that would be fast, but then i think about how embarrassed my parents would be and it makes me mad that that would be all that i am thinking about so i try to just bury that really deep. my life isnt even that bad. i just get so damn sad sometimes…

It seems we all are sufering from depression… I’ve been depressed most of my life, and i successfully to a point, killed myself. i died spent 2 weeks in a coma and the best they expected was me to be a vegetable for the rest of my life. i beat the odds but i still want to kill myself, maybe next time i will succeed. seen the doc, seen the psych… got the drugs but thats all they can do. it sucks being alive, when will it end? we go thru this endless grey existence looking for a way out, i just hope i find one…,one way or the other.

Hey Thanks that was a real help, now I know I’m depressed and may be able to get some help

Was a bit to down the last time i blogged…. Forgot to include a few points… The doctor and the psych did help and am on meds for being a manic depression… They do help, i still get depression and manic points but they’re not as bad as they used to be… Every little bit helps. hpoe you can find some help just to ease it away. there’s no easy solution but somethings can help.

we all go through problems in life, but for some everything can be okay you just feel like nobody loves you and no one care. But im going to tell you that there is someone that that loves you and that is GOD!!! Give your life to him, read the bible and you will see that your life is very important and worth something….The answer is to NOT kill yourself!!!! Do you really want to be burning in hell for eternity, think about it…
my advice is give your life to Jesus and life will get better it wont be perfect, but it will help, And remember Jesus is the only way to heaven! LUV YOU!!! =D
JESUS SAVES!

Hi,
Im always depressed and ill tell you why in a list
1. I grew up in a crappy life being crapped on by other ppl. Going from foster home to foster home. till i was 12
2. My dad died on my 16th birthday. I found him.
3. After that I was homeless and slept in places no one would want to sleep in. Ate at soup kitchens etc…
4. Once i did get a life i found out my uncle had died of a heart attack in jail (we were close)
5. Then a couple years later My other uncles die as well. Now i have no one but my gram.
6. Then… My son who was only 1 month and 12 days old passed away due to sids
7. Then my son is taken from me and put up for adoption. (thanks to my mom)
8. My mom wrote me a bday card telling me how much of a piece of crap i was after i went and got all her stuff and moved her in with me (she wrote it after she moved out of my apartment
9.Now im rolling in bills and ppl that use me and i have no real friends (backstabbing mofos)
9. So, my life is in the toilet and im always totally depressed everyday. Id really really like to do the deed but haven’t yet and probably wont.
The Point?? Life sucks ass agreed but,
You cant let the depression win. Treat it like an enemy cuz thats what it is. Its not ur friend. Nothing is good for you if it makes u feel like shit. Don’t give in to it. Do anything you can to distract yourself. If u think ppl hate you then ask yourself … would those ppl be happy if i was gone?? If the answer is yes then why the hell do u want to please ppl that don’t like you? Live a long time just to piss them off! If your parents wont take you seriously then find someone who will. The biggest thing is to talk to someone. Not even a counselor. Maybe just a mate or a teacher etc… Pick up a new hobby. Get out of the house. Think if you were a friend of yours how you’d feel if you committed suicide. Sad right??? Do you really want to hurt everyone around you? PPl care even if they dont always show it. And this is for the person who said that their parents would laugh. Just try a different approach to it. Sit them down and talk calmly and maybe they will see that u are in need. You can also show them any depression site you may have been on to prove u are not joking
Got some “homework ” for everyone on here if u want to do it….. Go and look at a funeral taking place (not up close so as not to disturb) Look at the ppl there. Look at them closely at their expressions. Do you want ppl feeling and looking like that over you????? Ive been to many of them and it NEVER makes it easier on the people who live on. Just harder and sadder as the yrs go by. If you want inspiration then heres some…..

My grandmother. All her children are dead and she is alone now. She is sad everyday but goes on and on with her life. She lives day to day cuz each day can bring a totally different experience. She is 80 yrs old.

Hey guys, I know that life sometimes really sucks, and that someone might not be there for you, but you can’t give up. I was depressed earlier, but now that I’ve seen what many of you guys have said, I feel like I want to help you. If you think that no one cares, then you’re wrong. Even if I don’t know you, if anyone who left a comment decided to leave the world, then I’d mourn too and be sad. I care. Depression can just be a perspective, like how you view things. Looking through old pictures might help bring back smiles of happy days. Remember that you can have those kinds of days right now too. You make a difference, and that’s what I think. I’m sorry that many of you are sad, and I wish that I could help you, and make you feel a little better, but DON’T GIVE UP!

OMG,get a grip woould you? Life sucks a lot of the time and that’s just the way it is. Are you living in a famine stricken country whilst all around you is nothing but death and decay? No, you’re f’ing not are you? People who are don’t spend their days bleating about their hardship like you lot do they get on with life and living. There’s always a million people worse off than you are and no-one can help you if you won’t help yourself so give yourselves a much needed kick up the arse. Some of you are clearly dealing with it and getting help but the rest of you? Failed suicide attempts and wanting a way out? If you meant it you would have done it by now, killing yourself isnt; exactly rocket science. You make me so angry, there are so many people out there making the best of awful situations and all you can do is piss and moan. GO AND GET SOME HELP AND STOP FEEDING OFF EACH OTHERS INSECURITIES.

Go do something different, try droping everything and doing something with just yourself, i don’t know, take a hike, go to another city, go sky diving, or SOMETHING, hey, you never know, you might get out of that mood. cry cry cry, whatever, if you don’t want to feel like that then change yourself or your environment. Think of the stuff you’ll miss out on, a new chocolate, new vid game, new shows, the little things. what fun it would be to get away from those voices and live a relaxing life (shut up with the whole restless society thing, go plan your life and live long enough to complete that plan)you never know, you’ll find something to enjoy.

Wow this quiz didn’t even help at all. Now I know I have low self esteem and depression to deal with. I always feel like something is tearing me apart, and nothing can ease it. I try to hide how I feel so no one has to worry, but i feel I’m just wasting up space. I’ve let myself down, and my family. I’m thankful for my friends, but I don’t deserve them at all. I’ve been this way since childhood, and i guess the problems I had back then scarred me. -_- to bad I can’t find a knife. Sorry if my comment seems pathetic, or stupid, didn’t mean to bother anyone.

Omg like im sooo depressed en sad en stuff…life is just no fun and like not worth living after my boyfreind dumped me…idk after him i decided to go straight, but it wont help any i just wanna kill myself, and him. murder suicide omg i just cant take it im gonna go an kill myself like right now….and so should all of you!!!!

so like i just broke up with my boyfriend and it hurts so bad. i have been nothing but depressed lately and have tried killing myself several times already. I sit around crying all day because he never calls and I just dont know what to do with myself
Y wont he love me?!?!?!?!?

omg like i never call cuz u broke up with me…an like were over, by da way bitch…ah i slept with yur sister….yur such a liar…i always loved u

you never showed ur love to me
i just want u back in my arms again baby
I’ll kill myself if i cant have you

I am depressed,but reading your stories made me feel a little better.I am alone in the world,and really have a tough time making friends.I have had some close friendships before,and it hurts to think they are gone.what really kills me is the thougt that i will live this long unhappy life,and never be happy again.Ive decided to go to the doctor,and look for support.I want thank you all for sharing your feelings with me.I hope you all find what or who you need.later

but growing up has nt been easy, my parents had broken up wen i was just a toddler and we moved far away from dad which was hard on me but i did constantly speak to him and always visited him, as i grew up i use to get teased becuz of who i was durin primary and high school ppl use to call me a man and nasty stuff all because i was very atheletic and healthy which in time lead me to hate myself and i use to hurt myself alot and i could never espress my feelings to any one which makes it hard, i eventually moved to my dads and went to a new school, and without knowin it i was being some one that wasnt me, i was hiding behind a fake me and still ppl critised me, in the past few months i had a great boyfriend got a great job and starting doin great things, and i was really happy but i had always got this feeling that i shouldnt be happy, like a real guilty feelings, that ive done something horribly wrong but i always tried ignoring it.. in the last few weeks everything has seemed to fail, i found out my bf was doin drugs and supposably cheatin on me and we eventually broke up, my dad has just recently been diagnosed with cancer and now i wont have a job nxt year cuz the business is closing down, and i just have been crying nearly every day, and feeling that nothin good is suppose to happen to me, and i thought i have gotten over from hurtin myself after a year without doing it and i did it again and i have suddenly the urge of wanting to hurt my x by being with other boys (as in sexual behaviour)which im usually not at all like, and i realy dnt like this feeling, i would like to know is there anything that can make me over come this and am i depressed or just going through a stage
since im still an adolescent and still growing up??kind regards, Katie

From Depression Guide: Dee, I thought you might have second thoughts about having your personal information out there so I removed the phone number to protect your privacy. People will still be able to contact you through your email address though. On a personal note, have you considered joining AA? It’s a great organization and I think it could help put you on the right path.

i keep crying all the time i dont know wat it is ive jus got in a new relashonship with my boyfriend of one month he suffers from adhd and ocd and sikofrenic. but he always has ago at me i keep crying cuz i love him

u know i wanna tell u something, about a week ago i took like 10 depression tests, and they all came positive, however i realized that i work at a jop that i dont like, live in an apartment that i hate, and i have lots of dvds that i dont use, so i quit my jop, changed everything in my apartment, cut my hair, and threw out ALL stuff that i dont use (dvds, clothes, jackets etc) , i started to work out, and now all the tests came negative– btw how many lives do i have to waste doing stuff that I HATE

i hope some might find this helpful
goodluck all

well

Hey Emo boy,
You know, you shouldn’t give crappy advice like telling everyone here they should kill themselves. Some may take you seriously. If you are really depressed then try not to be BUT, if you are making fun of these ppl then u should be ashamed of yourself. This is a place ppl come to get help not to make them feel worse. If ur bf broke up with you maybe its because u seem to have no thought or caring in what you say (at least here) If you are seriously depressed then u should realize that its not the end of the world that ur bf left. There are other ppl out there. U just gotta look.

suicide doesnt solve anything only hurting the people dat you love….
i tryed it ended up in hospitel nd in d end i hurted my friends and family nd now i relise ter is more 2 life dan killing ur self dat it woz d wrong thing 2 do…if u decide 2 do it den b4 u do it think about ur family nd friends dat u b leavein behide…

often many ppl suffer from depression and they dont know it, but there are lots of signs that you can pick up, denial is one of them im sure. here is a great site to show you the signs you can expect to see.

am i depressed?

This website makes me wanna cut my wrist and kill my self. i have no purpose of living and everything in my life just falls apart and there is no one to stop some one tell me how can i fix my problems

i think that the worst part of my life is that my parents don’t believe that i am depressed. they say that i am trying to get attention from them. actually, i want them to leave me alone. i definitely do not have it as bad as some, but i wish that someone would believe me.

Im only 14 years old. My grades are terrible and I feel isolated from almost everyone. I always feel lonely and mad. There is the occasional laugh and smile but soon after I sink back into the hole of depression. I have come to realize that no material possession can make me happy. At times I feel jealous of people who hang in a large group and always have a smile on their face. It makes me wonder why am I never this happy?

WOW that had actually helped
NOT
I feel really depressed
im barely a teenager
and yet i have depression
im only 12
and why has depressiong just hit me
i was living a normal happy life
but then it just hit me
its like i been shot dead
i havent told any one about my depression except my stupid counsellor who is a pain in the ass
i have told my parents and brothers but they just laugh at me and say to me go die
and they actually encourage me to kill myself
i told them once
and then they were like PFFT u wanna go kill ur self go ahead
and that made me be more depressed. i mean it wudve been normal if my ‘ frends’ say it but wen u hear it from ur family that just make it worse
Why cant i live a normal life
i hate my life
i hate everyone
i cant talk to anyone
no one believes me
and im going into high school and dats goiing to make me feel more depressed
and those people who is not depressed u dont noe how it feels like and how it takes over ur mind and body

wow that helped me alot. NOT!!!
I hate my life and i wish i was dead!
no one knows how i feel and im tired and sick of it! the only one who has helped me is my ex. for some reason he under stands how i feel and he gives me advice on how to feel better and enjoy life. but he is with another girl now and my depession continues. i wish i was back with him because for some reason i feel my depression will go away if i had him back in my life again.

So I feel like I’m living in my subconcious. Like the rest of me has died and the last threads of my deep mind are left there. I keep thinking my life sucks and everything is turning down hill, but I am still saying other ppl have it worse off even if this is the worst for me and that I need to find some good things. But that was another thing that showed me I might have depression was that I culdnt get myself to do anything.
I’ve been telling myself “I’m just a teenager, it’ll pass like all the other stupid phases” which again sounds like my subconsious. But this has happened every single winter and spring for about 5 years.
Does that mean I’m depressed?
Even though I’m aware of the solutions but can’t think of anything to do about it?
I mean I thik about suicide, but not that I want to die bcuz I don’t want to hurt everyone else, if there is, that wuld miss me, or be more of a problem to anyone. I think of it as the thrill, the curiosity, and I knwo that’s sick. I cut myself bcuz I know it releases the endorphynes that make u feel better, but also bcuz I feel like I need to be punished.

I thik I’m crazy…. does anyone want to explain this? bcuz out of everythign I’ve loked over, sorry this wasn’t the most helpful article.

hey, im 15 and im not sure weather or not i have deppresion? although im 15 I’m only 5 stone and i just hate too eat. Ive been through so much crap which isn’t good for any child and when all th crap ended i was left to bring up my little sister when i was 6. this lead to me not eating, i self harm, ive also attemted suicide but my foster mum caught me and my social worker also knows, i feel hopeless and i hate every day am i just sad or deppresed? am i even normal or just a physco? please help

you are absolutely normal, tashha. it is normal to feel bad after all the crap that happened to you and to be unwilling to eat. but your life stands ahead of you – it is there waiting for you to live it through. don’t give up on eating – you need energy. besides without food your brain suffers as well as your body and this is one of the reasons for your bad mood, feeling depressed and so on. don’t give up, ok!!! You are perfectly normal and being sad is part of life, just talk to people (to your social worker, to your foster mum, to anybody who is close to you and would like to listen), you shouldn’t self pity and depress yourself. when we think sad thought, we actually project them into our future and they happen. so be positive and find people to communicate with, find a hobby, find friends. and remember – you are normal.

Please, please, kids, kids especially, don’t give up. You have a life ahead of you. You can’t end a life without thinking. You have one life. If you feel depressed, you need to share your life, not end it.
Talk. Live. Smile. Grow. Expand. Learn. Live. Dance. Enjoy. Act. Think.Live. Cherish. Embellish. Care. Feel. Live. Harness. Release. Understand. Wonder. Interpret. Read. Sing. Listen. Live. Fill. Optomize. Ponder. Come. Organize. Collaborate. Unify. Be. Live.
Depression is not a state but rather a condition. You need to locate an outlet. An outlet to occupy yourself. Art, music and exercise are the best but it has to be something you can do regularly and that you enjoy. Use this outlet to express yourself, don’t go by the books – do it your way. Be free. This is not a joke. As a subject of clinical depression myself I know. And as a person, like you, I ensure you that you have the strength and the will to do this. Doubt is no more and relief is the first step.
If I know any of you, bc believe me I do, talk to me, I’m great. So are you! and everyone you know, they’re all great. Don’t feel locked up, verbalize, take action and live. If you don’t know me, talk to a friend, a stranger, a coworker a neighbor, a priest, pastor or other religious leader. Talk to your god. Talk to someone. Write, or act if they work better but like a can of soda, its only good when its opened, even if the inside is shaken, still open the soda open up your life, remember that even if the soda is shaken, once the fizz is gone, all that’s left is the good.

And as a note to someone whom I love very much, I say, ” (many things) … Live!”

To all, “LIVE!”

Jk that wuz hulpful idk I just dont kno wat u mean by sum of dat. Tnx xoxo

i am 21, female, in college and last nite i hit the lowest point so far (i dont want to go into it but…) so today i decided to ask for help and see what the hell is wrong with me!!! i know no one except us can ever understand how powerfull this unexplainable force is but i just dont want to feel this overpowering numbness anymore so i rang my mum. honestly i have just been in this constant sad state for a few months now (and i know that there are you out there who have been like this forever) i have always had those ultimate lows that last for a few weeks or a couple of days from out of nowhere…and learned to live with them. i didnt ever think “i am depressed” untill i tried explaining things to her and she said “its ok your only depressed…” screw that “ONLY”?????????? its not only anything its the worst most embarrasing most painful mood?/feeling?/state? i dont know what to call it. even still she made a doctors appointment for me today. so i am here alone, crying dropping tears on the keyboard looking for something…anything. so i do this quiz thing and i felt worse as it tells me whats wrong with me and i need medication. but then i start reading this blog thing and its like for the first time my tears are tears of relief as well as sadness because not only do i know im not alone….you are all saying the same things that are swirling/spiraling round my head from the moment i wake till i eventually fall asleep even after being in bed all day…. i know im ranting but untill i read this blog i really and truly felt so alone. and now i feel like i have one little friend or even someone who will listen. and i want anyone who reads my tantrum and made some sense of it and who can relate to me to know that i will listen. i dont have the answers but i will listen…. i’ll log on after im back from the doctor and for anyone who cant find it in them to reach out i will let you know what to expect for that if and when you find the strength…x

HELLO! So my name is Samantha, I am 16 and i can honestly say that i hate my life. My parents well they aren’t the best. I am completely and totally in love with my ex boyfriend who lies just to get in my pants, and forsome reason i always allow him to. I know i should have more self-respect but if only you knew how much i love him. Most say i am too young to know what love is, but i do know what it is and i can feel it everytime i look in his eyes. But he treats me like shit, and it hurts sooo much all i do is sit around and cry.
Now my parents are another story.. my mom runs my life to the best of her ability, she has chosen my major.. yes i am in college, she kinda rushed me through highschool. i have no friends due to the fact that she pushed tham all away. And everytime i think i am actually getting somewhere or my life is getting better either my ex botfriend or my mom reassures me that my life is totally effed over and i am bascally screwed.
i hate to admit this but there are so many times when all i think about is someway to kill myself, or even just hurt myself bad enough so that i can’t do what they want me to do so i can feel like i am incontroll again. The only reason i haven’t killed myself just to end this misserble life permantly is because i have a 6 year old little sister and if i ever saw something like this happen to her i would hate myself and know it was all my fault for chickening out and taking the easy route out of my life. It just wouldn’t be fair for her to have to deal with the pressure from my mom all by herself, and if any boy ever treats her like this i want her to have sonmeone to come to because i know what it feels like not to have anyone.

i feel sad and cry for no reason all the time. sometimes i feel that life isnt worth living anymore. im 14 and i told my mom this and she just said it was all im my head and wont do anything to help. i have been thinking of suicide. what should i do?

you are a teen and it is absolutely normal to have all these changes in your mood due to all your body growing, hormones boiling at you and so on. but you should know that after the sad periods, happy times come too. you will be happy again and life will have a meaning to you again. actually, even when you feel said it has, but you just miss it because of all the sadness inside you. try to overcome it, eat well, sleep more, find something you love doing – like a hobby, playing games, taking photos, anything to distract you from any sad thought that may come to you. and don’t even think about leaving this life – you cannot imagine how nice it can be and what wonders it has for you. Smile, please smile

hello my names leah im 15 and i am (confused if i am) depressed. i havent looked at your advice or any other part of the website yet i was just looking at other peoples comments and it makes me feel like a bit of a fool, no offence but some people have a reason to be depressed and whats mine… im late on my period and could be pregnant, my boyfriend hates me and doesnt wana spend time with me coz im so depressed that to me is just crazy. its hard to explain how i feel but im going to try : i wake up either crying or close too. i cant be happy for any one, friends family boyfriend nobody. i cant even have 1 normal day in school because im thinking of someting totally irellivant. also i spend at least 15-30 mins a day crying in school or at home, sometimes even at home and school and crying for longer. this means i cant pay attention listern or learn, it needs to stop its been going on now for toooo long and what have i done about it … NOTHING. could anybody try and give me some answers or advise, coz im sick of being that sad girl whoes crying 24/7. it never has been me so why now ??? What should i do to help my self lead a happier life..???

I have no reason to be depressed, yet I think I am. I have most of the symptoms, as well as my friends constantly asking if I’m ok. For the past few months I’ve tried to hide how I feel, but it’s been getting harder and harder to do so. I drink to alleviate the continuous pain, which works for a while, but occasionally makes it even worse. It’s somehow relieving to see how other people feel the same, so maybe I’m not alone. My close friend, Tom, thinks I should seek professional help but I don’t want to seem any more pathetic than I already am.

My life is amazing from an objective viewpoint.

But I don’t feel it.

I find motivation difficult.

I feel little joy.

I have little or no passion for anything.

Excitement is a foreign word to me.

I always try to get on with life and see the best in it. At times it can work for a while but I feel like I am blocking my feelings.

I don’t mean to whine or moan although I think I am.

I’m not even sure why I am writing on here.

I’m 21 years old and I believe I haved suffered from depression since I was 12. I had a really good year 2008 and thought I had gotten over everything that I had been depressed about in the past, but this year it’s all resurfacing along with other problems.
Reasons I’m depressed
- When I was 12 I lost my grandfather to cancer, we were close and the event shook my life, I was lifeless after that and was sick, everything was going downhill
- When I was 16 I moved to Canada from Peru, the experience was rather traumatizing and different, I had no friends and adapting was difficult
- I moved from the capatital of Peru, to a small town east of Toronto, getting to school evryday takes 1:30 hours, there’s nothing to do in my town, I don’t get along with the people there, I can’t go out and party because there is no transportation back home…etc
- When I was 17 my father passed away and we were very close, Completely distressed me
- When I was 19 my long term boyfriend changed, he was being very abusive to me and I love him so much it would just be night after night of crying myself to sleep
- We were dating off and on, during that time I found confort in my best friend, jonathan and I grew so very attached to him
- When I was 20 my grandmother died, she raised me, this was very painful
- Now, I am graduating in a recession, have been layed off from my current job, can’t find a new job
-I’m broke, the weather is shit, my boyfriend doesn’t love me much anymore
- My best friend that helped me all along has found a gf (bitch) and now pretty much ignores me and wants nothing to do with me which kills
- I have no fanily in Canada, barely any friends

So I am pretty miserable

But it felt good to write this

hi
I have read with alot of concern about these younger people who say that they are depressed,having moved to a another place myself,being 21 and now am 23 opened doors of depression from all sides in my life..you have to understand that am the kind of aperson who insists on doing right no matter what ,but always found myself regretful of something that didnt work out that day even if it wasnt my fault ,growing up you are taught to do the right thing always and if you dont there will be consequenses .

The pressure of perfection and innocence that you are to young to understand that these are just some of the better mistakes that you will ever make ,i will tell you what the older guys wont tell you ,you will make alot of choices and sometimes you will make mistakes they hae been there and done that so they know it ,they know that ,some wont tell you for their own joy ,so that they can have some consolations and their burden of regret can be lessened .
Not all adults are like this some like your parents will help you in making the correct choices an will let you make some mistakes once in while so that you can form agood character …,but never the less we have been put on this earth for apuropse bigger than your depression as you grow older you will be required to make more choices and better decisions but you will be better informed because you will have better tools to make better choises .
MY advise is get agroup of friends relatives or just one person who can build you to where you want to go ,surround yourself with people that want to see you happy and are excited everytime they see you ,get ahobby ,apositive book ,change ajob start over again because you are just as worth it as every other person on this planet,there is no other one like you ,dont get too excited you still have some growing ,maturity learning and enjoying to do ,but remember your time is precious ,you are special and you are loved ,am helping you because am helping my self too.

I am 14. I have a couple of reasonds this happenind but other than that i an lost.this lecher did NOTHING. no wander ths people write things like this.All i need is a friend that understands.I am getting despret please help!

I am 22 about to graduate from college. I normally would have everything to look forward to but I just feel all alone, empty and so sad. i have friends and I have a family but I feel like I can not talk to anyone. I cry so much and nothing I do makes me feel better.I pray that this will go away and I even ask God for help, I have for a while but I continue to feel this way. I feel trapped and so empty. I have nothing to look forward to anymore. I used to love to travel and do so many things but when i do them, i feel still so very empty and alone, I feel that I cant escape myself. I just dont know what to do anymore or who I can even talk to.

Dear all,

I’ve been in depression before and I understood the feelings.

Try these steps if it helps:

1)Try to take a break from the things that make you unhappy. / from the person the makes you unhappy.

2)if you thought about killing yourself, try thinking of someone you love trying to kill themselves. Does it hurt you too?

3) Try to find God, not wait till god find you. (means: if you had rejected god or ignored he when you are happy and enjoying yourself.) pray often, it helps. Coz god know what is in every person’s heart.

4) try reading /understand the “quran”, you will feel like crying, and just cry it out.
turning to him does help what your souls need.

5) think of the people who have short lives, they want to live longer like normal people does but they were given just that. BE THANKFUL for what god have given you, A LIFE!

May allah bless the restless souls -ameen-

Well, when I was young, my mom was in a unhappy marriage, and took it out on me and my brother (and my dad when he wasn’t hiding). Hitting, screaming, flying furniture, the usual. My dads philosophy was if something was wrong, you do nothing about it so you don’t get blamed for possibly making it worse. I got nightmares from it, but there was always a crying apology from her. But, it would keep happening and I thought it was normal after a while. But, when I got into middle school I was getting stressed and depressed about it. Then I started getting bullied. My friends left me for the bully, offering him gifts so they wouldn’t get hurt. The school didn’t do much to help. So one day I walked three hours back to home, “Screw you all” I said. I was tired of it. I did home schooling for a while. Though, my mom and dad were breaking up. My mom went to a mental institution for a while. My dad moved out then back into the basement. After more yelling and fighting they broke up and moved with my mom near my new public school. It was doing good at first, but I realized my new friends were egotistic, since I’m not, I guess I thought I could learn to be stronger from them. My mom was still unhappy though. She was finding herself still (as well as my dad). She was angry and depressed. I became more that way as well. We got in a big fight one day. I moved in with my dad after that. I didn’t go back to school until a few months later in distance education. Alone in my sorrow I got lack of motivation. I started playing games to escape what I thought was a crappy life. I did nothing for two years. Mostly alone, and no one to really talk to I started going in and out of depressive spurts (My dad and my brother are the same, they don’t like showing sad emotions, and my dad I guess didn’t want to deal with me since I had my moms mental state which he left long ago). Got in a relationship and everything online cause of it. And one day I woke up and found it wasn’t meant for me and I stopped playing and left them. After two years of hiding from the world I felt like doing something, something real. My mom was getting healthier and happier and we started getting along again (Quite well actually since we understand each other better). Though I was lost, unsure what to do I was getting back into old habits, but seeing old friends too. Sadly, they were still the same and moving forward. I felt stuck and as if something was wrong with me. I felt like a failure when compared to them. So I worked for almost a year, but got stressed at work. They didn’t show much compassion for those in the state I was in, so I kept quiet about my past and what I was doing, and to the same to my friends. After a good year (or more I think…) up until now, they weren’t people (My friends) that I thought that I should be around, especially in mental and depressive spurts still. Though they are all in college, having fun, meeting new people and learning many things. And I’m here. An almost 20 year old guy, alone and with some mental issues with strong social anxiety tones and those damn depressive moments. As well as everyone else around me finding love and being with others (Brother and dad have girlfriends, Mom remarried). And me still alone. But to fight for those rare happy moments I’m doing home schooling again (slowly by myself…) and volunteering (to get out of the house) and looking for part time work. So I guess I’ve been on and off feeling crappy for about seven years (almost 8, huzzah!). But I’ve learned so much about myself and people from it. To some it looks like a waste of precious life time, but I feel it as another life experience for me, a bad one, but still an experience. You learn what you want in life. Try not to escape (tempting as hell though), I found it wears off in the end sadly. Just try and find what makes you happy. It’s worth living for. Hopefully I will one day find mine, and I hope you all will too. Get better soon and take care of yourselves.

Wow, sorry for it being that long.

I know how it feels. Being the good person is the being the hurt person. All of the “friends” I had have used me in all way imaginable. I have been fighting depression since i was little, when I watched my father die it was one of the turning points in my life, I was five years old and it is the only thing I can remember vividly from when I was young. A few years after that my mother had a mental break down and I started taking care of myself. She has gotten better but is not completely stable. My grandmother was like an angle she always knew how to comfort me until I was 11 and she passed away, the hardest thing was the last time I saw her she didn’t even know who I was. I got over that by opening up to people very freely, and due to that I got used and used over and over again. I had a steady girlfriend for almost 2 years until I watched her having sex with my best friend at my house about two years ago. She figured out that he was an asshole and calls me all the time and I run into her all the time. now I am 18 and just stay alone everyday. I got used to it and truthfully I like my alone time but I just wish that I could meet people who I could relate to. I mean I like being alone but not all the time. I turned to drugs (weed, coke, oxys) and drank daily for about a year, I have recently cleaned myself up and still drink on occasion when I have one of those rough days. After reading all of the previous post its almost reassuring to know that there are still kind caring people left in the world. Life is not an easy path and truthfully I feel that it can’t be bad forever. I think that is we all just keep trying and fighting the everything will come to get better eventually. I hope all of us and the people whose voices are still not heard find a place where they can be happy with themselves and there own lives.

On Jan 21 my depression was so bad I tried to kill myself. I have a nice house, great friends, and a beautiful wonderful wife. (she is 26, I am 37 she ran 1 marathon, is the greatest friend I have ever had and is beautiful. We have only been married for 6 months) I woke up in the emergency room 2 days later. DONT GIVE UP! I got ECT and feel better than I can tell you, get the book “shock” by Kitty Dukakis. I didn’t even know I could feel this way. I was depressed for as long as I can remember. DONT give up!!!! Life is better than dying. DONT GIVE UP!!!

I am sure that you have heard lots of trash, but I know EXACTLY how you feel. some days are better than others, I know about the relationships you have, feeling bullied, feelind alone even when you are with your friends. Don’t wait until you are almost 40 like I did. I swear to you this made me feel better than I ever thought I could.

I grew up alone, my dad left when I was 5, (to be with another woman) we would see him 2 times a month and those times he would say he had to go work and leave me, my brother and sister with his new wife. used to beat me at times till I had to go to the hospital and he would tell me to say I fell off my bike, my mom moved in with a heroin addict. I dropped out of school at 15 to get my own place and take care of my self. I hear what you mean. I have been there.

I used to read books, try to meditate, go to church, stay up late watching shows about how to be happy, drink you name it I tried it. I just couldn’t take it anymore.

I lost all of my friends because I was never able to keep it together, I know exactly what you are going through.

The worst was waking up with my wife looking at me in the ER with a tube in my throat and the taste of charcoal in my mouth. I was putting something in my backpack last week and found my suicide note it didn’t even come close to explaining what I was going through, or explain to my wife, brother sister, friends what was really going on. it would have left them a life time of questions. I think my worst feeling right now is guilt over what I tried to do.

Please beleive me. there is hope. ECT was hard, but it worked. I had seen a Dr for years and all they did was give me pills that didn’t ever work. They wanted to talk about my family but talking about it always made me feel horrible.

DONT GIVE UP. If you think no one understands your wrong I understand. I took 3 bottles of sleeping pills, and all of the medication my Dr gave me, I don’t know how but I ended up at Boston Medical Center. DONT GIVE UP!!!

Sitting here crying and feeling sorry for myself. I have been depressed for years and spent 1 week as an inpatient several years ago, and have twice attended outpatient sessions. The inpatient was the result of looseing my boyfriend of 10 years, who by the way was married with 2 children. I know he loved me, and I hope he was truthful in telling me we would eventually be together after his kids were older. We began seeing one another about a month after his second child was born, but had known each other for 10 years, both working for the same company. His oldest daughter was 4 at the time. We saw each other daily, and spent alot of time together. His death was unexpected and I feel like I still have not come to term and have no closure. I wonder often what if. Just previous to his death, I know I had begun to have some resentment and did and said some things that I regret, and can’t take back. I recently lost my job due to downsizing, and that has been extremely hard. I have been in the same profession for almost 30 years and have been having difficulty finding a new job. What set me off today was getting another reject email regarding I job I applied for. Sad thing is I was over qualified for the position and feel like a loser for getting rejected. I’m starting to worry, what if I never find a job? How will I cover my expenses? I have great a great family & friends, and even though they try to help and be supportive, it doesn’t seem to matter. I find myself avoiding their calls and invitations to do things. I am trying to hang in there, but it is certainly hard. I am hopeing that putting some of this in writing will help.

Thanks for listening

I have it all and yet im not happy I have a great family friends that care and a condo thats just pimp’en. I just don’t feel happy. I too want to feel happy I see all those other happy people and I say to my self “ME TOO!” I have worked hard and done all that I can, I deserve to be happy.

Why do I not even want to get out of bed?

Very deppressed…..have like 6 friends that died infrontof me and i feel like commiting suicide
dont know what to do
im going to kill my self

well, my moms bipolar/depressed. so i guess what i have is hereditary or something. when i turned about 14 she became an alcoholic, and she started overdosing on her medication. she also attempted suicide. she told me it was my fault. thats when my depression really started. i became bulimic because i wanted to gain control when i had none and started to feel like i was fat even when everyone would talk about how skinny i was. i always had mental breakdowns and would cry all the time. then my mom quit doing all of that and my life went pretty much back to normal. then i started dating this guy. weve been dating for about a year and 4 months now and because he was the only person i felt i could trust, i fell pretty hard for him and rely on him for everything. he just graduated tho and now its like he wants to be free. and im trying to be ok with everything, but i keep getting so depressed and upset all the time because i feel like hes gonna leave me. and id started doing stupid stuff. i really think i just need some help. =( i feel less alone knowing that others feel the same as i do tho.

i talk to myself alot people look at me like im crazy maybe i am…but all i can think about is yanking there small intestant out and hanging them with it.I don’t sleep at night at all ive been up for three days and i can hear voices they wont stop god why wont they stop? ive run out of places to leave marks.maybe the voices will be my friend they will make the pain go away will someone help me before i lose myself forever

Im sorry for wasting your time this isn’t the place for me

You’re not wasting anyone’s time Ronald. Comment back to let me know you’re reading this.

You’re not wasting anyone’s time Ronald. Comment “hello” to let me know you’re reading this.

Is anyone in here right now?

hello? how long before a comment posts on here?

Well either way here goes. I have been pretty much depressed since I was maybe 9 years old. Most of it has been mild, just a lack of interest in life, or this melancholy feeling of my childhood and when life was happier,easier for me. I am 32 now and going through a really rough time. From about 3 years ago up until this jan, I was doing really well. I was in a relationship,making good money in banking,financially I was great,etc. Suddenly things started falling apart for me. My relationship ended, I lost my job,which caused me to lose my boat,my grandmother passed away which was the first person close to me to die. All of this happened within weeks of each other. Now I cant find a job, people seem to treat me differently. I am so miserable I have turned to drugs and this has made me feel more guilty and depressed. I know what needs to be done. I just hope whoever reads this, prays for me to find the strength to overcome this dark time in my life. I pray for those of you going through this as well. I dont want to be rich,powerful or famous, just happy again.

in the end everything is okay. if it’s not okay, than it’s not the end.
I will be praying for you all(:

I just got 10/10 answered yes.
Thx for the confidince booster.

one must mention the reason of his depression to get help.iam depressed because iam married ,have no children . have no money and iam becoming deaf gradually because of tinnitus , the doctors said it is uncureable i have become hopless , who can help me ?

I may not be ‘that’ depressed but I really hope everybody else gets better soon.

I have hypothyroid and was told that it can make me feel depressed but is it supposed to feel this strong? Like to the point where I think of just ending my life?
I have been in a secret relationship for almost 3 years. I’m bi-sexual and have never “come out” to my family. The only person who knows is my nephew and he’s okay with it. There are times when friends asks me why I have no bf or they ask my gf why she doesn’t go out with someone. It hurts to hear all of this. I am surrounded by religious people.. at work mostly. I don’t know who to turn too.
Lately, I have been getting into a lot of arguments with my gf and I always cause them. I can tell she is disgusted with me by doing so… I can see it on her face that she wants me to disappear. At least I feel that way. =( I just want her to be happy and I know I don’t make her happy anymore.
She deserves better.
FML, seriously.

It really is something to know that I’m not alone who feels like this.
I just hope we can all get help and get through this…

Hi.. Im 14 and totally depressed I lost all of my friends. Now my onli friend is my razor blade. I wish I was dead

I’m ONLY fourteen and pretty depressed for a long time -_- i have no clue why I’m young and should be happy . My house is so boring and makes me wanna kill myself cus its so down and depressing , and all ppl do is put me down . i wish i died . :[

Hey im only 14 and i feel miserable every day, im not afraid to admit i cry like every day. Every guy in my year has found love and i cant even get to meet up with a girl. I have cobtemplated suicide many times. I feel like no one is their for me. I just hope we can all make it thru this hard time!

i feel so shit and i dont know what to do. i cant seem to get happy. i am paranoid about everything. i didnt go to work tonight. i always love work. but i just cant face customers or collegues. i just want to stay in bed.
my boyfriend is cookin me a lovely tea that i can smell. but i just dont want it. or him.

i think im depressed or something because of my anxiety and life but i hide it from others including my parents. i feel so embarrassed to let them know about this.

The first result in Google for “Am I depressed?” and the people asking that question finds themselves here. Not somewhere they can really get help, is it? It’s rather depressing really. If everything was used for its best possible purpose, things might be better.

Having a – very quick – browse through the comments it seems a lot of people have built the way they feel on a foundation of neediness for a “boyfriend or girlfriend”. Honestly, that’s not going to be something that should hinder you. You’re probably still young – your time will come.

Anyone with anything more serious – or something less serious that has matured to be more serious – should seek help from a trustworthy medical proffesional and get a second or third opinion if you have to. Not books. Not websites. People.

Wow here I was wondering why the Cymbalta commercials always stuck out. Im depressed too it seems. I took the quiz and it made me feel even worse since ALL the answers were yes. Trying to keep from crying now but its always something. At least im not alone in the feeling. But still very alone. Why cant I or us people here be happy too? I always try to do the right thing and when I fall short feel soooooo guilty. Bad things seem to just keep happening all around. I know if I knew what my life was going to be like before I was born, Id never had been. Too late for that, and everytime I think of going away something then says im to selfish not to live for my sister and little nieces since im all they have after loosing my mother, younger sister and brother in horrific car accident right after grandpa died right around my 20th birthday while in Iraq. Happy Birthday every year is a reminder of lost ones. Now im lonely and depressed and no special person at my side. DAMN! But I keep trying and the more I go the more it just gets worse, so why even try anymore?

Can somebody tell me?
What dose it really meam to die or live?
what happens after we die?
Why dose god shatters our world even if he knows that we are not ready.

i m a 19 yr old guy….
this year has been the worst yr of my life….
y is life soooo f***ed up….
i really wish i was never born, or be really glad if i was dead….

welp uh that sorta helped me. i took the quiz and i found out i really am depressed.. joy. my boyfriend told me to tell my mom.. and well she doesnt believe me. so im never going to get better.

What is wrong with me?

Im 16 and I think im depressed.

I have a pretty good life,Im an only child,I live with my grandparents and I love them to bits.I dont really see eye to eye with my mom and it kills me.She lives with her boyfriend and his son.I dont know my dad and i grew really close to one of my moms boyfriends,they were together for 5 years before they broke up.He was like a dad to me and I resented her for them splitting.
I love her to bits but I cant help but think she’s selfish and completely dependant on men.I have never lived with her.She gives me everything I want money,clothes etc but she doesnt understand that all i want is a mom.

I have great friends but i feel like im just on the outskirts watching them.I confide in one of my closest friends but when we go out,she seems to throw it back in my face in front of everyone.I started drinking about a year ago and now im getting drunk way too much.I get screwed over by guys alot.It feels good to have someones attention at the time but afterwards I feel cheap.Im good at school and have a good academic record.

I dont understand whats wrong with me,I constantly wish I could live somewhere else and just be who I want to be.I dont feel like I have anything to live for,Im lonely and it depresses me because at 16,I feel like Ive already ruined my life.I seem to just drift and mope at home when Im not out.I just float from day to day without even realizing it.

Is this even a reason to be depressed??I dont know what to do anymore and im scared.help.

I don’t know what 2 do
Life is soo hard wid all this pain and feelings
combined
going

it hurts me sooo much that i cant sleep at night
and tears just cum out of my eyes although i m not cryin
i dont know wat to do……

@ HAYLEY :

the dilemma of depression is finding the strength to do what it takes to heal yourself. Perhaps the place to start is just to acknowledge that you are feeling depressed (angry, guilty, ashamed, hopeless, helpless). Then, you must take action to seek treatment. Effective treatment for depression is readily available. Recovering from depression is a learning experience.
BY READING UR COMMENT i got the idea that u did not talk to ur mom regarding ur problems….
the only way i think u will feel better is when u talk to ur mom….. i think she will understand you….
and stop drinkin i know its an easy path which most people take which even i took…. but not worth it..
u r only 16 u have got ur whole life ahead of you…

if u cant talk to ur mom then talk to ur grand parents or anyone u’ll feel much better…..
and if that also doesnt work out try writing [or typing] poems or anythin abt ur problems…. i can assure u that u will be feelin a lot better….
HOPE U FEEL BETTER……
ALWAYS KEEP SMILING BECOZ
“Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it”…

y o y, am i so depressed, cant seem to get over it, one minute fine and laughing, next could jump of a tall building, is it just me, or is it the poeple in my life, is this world and its nasty ways in different cultures,and countrys.

Hi I’m a 15 year old, I was confused about why I am feeling down all the time, I burst out crying at random moments, never want to do anything I used to get ‘hyped up’ about. I have the most amazing friends – but feel like I don’t deserve them cos I have random sad outbursts which I can’t control, so I avoid them so they don’t think I’m a freak. I have an amazing boyfriend who is bi polar – and yeah it can get hard, I had an idea I had depression – Earlier this year I had 2 failed relationships one after the other where in both I suffered mental domestic abuse which killed my self esteem, and even led to attempted suicide. Ever since then I’ve never felt happy about myself. And to all these people who are telling depressives to ‘get a grip’ – its not easy, as its a mental condition. I hope everyone here who has suffered depressive symptoms gets over them, and hopefully enjoys their life. I know how it feels – I’ve had this over a year and tbh its killing my social life and eating me up inside.

I suffer from this to. Well me and everyone around me. (kids,husband etc.) I did seek help finally after so long of trying to fight it my self. Nothing worked medicine that is. I couldn’t afford to see a therapist. I was molested as a child I felt unloved and unappreciated. (Still Do) Wanted to die at least once a day if not all day. I could just keep going with this crap they call my life. So I know all to well what your all going thru. What keeps me going is my kids and before they came along I had my horses. Just let all u know there is a reason your alive and there is someone out there who cares! please take care God Bless

Hope is all any of us has….

Hate my life…
Wish I never existed…
Alone…

They gave me the guarantee, the so called ticket, to a happy life, diploma’s, titles, its nothing… now I’m here trying to build up so we can have enough… contemplating my departure date, doesn’t really take a lot to get a lot of us to talk this way… thats it, now its gone, the chances, the love, the memories… what happened?
my only guarantee is a walk away…

OMG

this was helpfull

my wrists are red most of the time with dried blood and i just keep looking at them and thinking what my life could have been like but cant be until i get out of this suffering, i am only 12 and am abused at home my mother doesnt understand and my father was killed coz he was deployed in iraq and got shot, i think that is the one think keeping me from suicide, i dont want my family to go through the pain again.sometimes i think of god but whats the point its hopeless if he was so great no one would of commented here apart from to say how great there lives are omggggggggggggggggggg i just want to rip myself apart. sometimes i just get so angry it just takes over me, i am considered a nerd in school coz i spend all day on the computer and when i lash out evryone just thinks OMG is this really the same person whop just sits at a desk all day hiding from the world behind his stupid hair that he is oh so partial to. YES IT IS AND ITS JUST HOW I AM AND WILL BE UNTIL I FIND A WAY OUT its just i9m always sooo upset but i can sort of give advice from where i am

i don’t know why i am feeling depressed everything is going great i am renovateing the garage i am at school and first 5 hours are good but the others are just shity i know i have been thinking about sexuality a lot after seeing a pair of gay girls. i just don,t know what to do i think i might be gay but i just don’t know how to interpret my feelings

Its 4;22 am…I just came back from the emergency room.
I apparently had a big panic attack. Its very ironic because im 18 years old. I mean I know what its from. Mostly its from school, thinking about my future. what if it doesnt turn out to be what i want. I think about girls. marrying the right one even though im still too young i do think about it sometimes. Thinking what if i dont find the right person for me. I think about my crappy car, what if it breaks down tomorrow how the hell em i going to pay for the bills. I think about school a lot. I guess its not a good thing now. I mean i think that every 18 year old should have a panic attack. but the ones that care only. I live with my mom and we live in a pretty nice apartment but we live paycheck to paycheck. and i know that there are a lot of other families that are in the same situation, but i guess i think about the future too much too. i thought about it so much that i had a panic attack. lol. So Yah I really dont know what the deal is. if i dont thing about my future. i will never know what i would want to do and what i could become. I need to take it to the limit. but i guess i did today. Now they tell me to just relax…How the hell em i supposed to relax if im living paycheck to paycheck. i cant get a job i go to school from 7 to 3 everyday and i have homework and stuff too. I dont know i guess sometimes you have to take what you get. I love my life but once in a while it throws a curve-ball you know. I know everyone is like that, so i think we just need to let somethings go before they blow over your head like me. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM TALK IT OUT WITH SOMEONE. (SOMEONE THAT WILLLL LISTEN) SOMETIMES THATS ALL A PERSON NEED TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEMSELVES. YOU NEED TO GET A HOBBY, I AM GOING TO GET A HOPPY, THIS WAS REALLY HELPFULL. I WANT TO GIVE ON LAST ADVISE ON THIS TOPIC(WORKING TO MUCH) YOU NEED TO START LIVING YOU LIFE. I MEAN YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, TAKE THAT 20 DOLLARS THAT YOU HAVE SAVED UP, CALL ONE OF YOUR BUDDIES AND GO OUT TO EAT, CLUBING OR WHAT HAVE YOU, JUST LEARN TO LET GO AND HAVE REAL FUN. YOU HAVE TO ENJOY LIFE, OR ITS GOING TO BE A LONG AND BUMPY RIDE.

so finds out im depressed and want 2 die god i never thought i would be depressed or think about dieing before it’s just i feel unwanted and sooo alone i just wished someone cared all i do is cry i eat less now and just think

I’m over 40 and have been depressed most of my life. I believed the stuff about not giving up, but am still waiting. I can’t do this much longer.

Hi, I’m 38 and am having a major crisis.

I gave up a good job in Bristol having secured another job in London 19 months ago so I could live with my partner. The stress of my new job contributed (I feel) to my stomach ulcers and me becoming ill back in Feb this year. I became extremely fatigued and suffered a serious depressive episode.

I’ve now lost my job due to ill health (chronic undiagnosed fatigued meant I failed my return-to-work package), and now my health is threatening my relationship. My partner has threatened to kick me out many times as I no longer have an income and my health condition is going to make getting and holding down a new job almost impossible.

With my home in Bristol facing repossession, my health is getting worse. Constant stomach pain, chronic fatigue and daily battles with depression (daily thoughts of suicide too) and a partner that is constantly nagging me, life has become too much.

I need help but having already tried my GP, I do not know wh

please help me.. i think i am becoming paranoid. it seems like everybody’s hating me, like they’re all against me i don’t know now how to make myself feel better. i know i’m such a bitchy whore.I’m a flirt and i did a lot of mistakes in my life.but i want to change my attitude.i’ve been rude and i fight like I’m tough.the truth is i’m not. i feel so alone. though my family are here with me and my special someone. i can’t stand the pain. like there’s something inside me that’s crawling up from my neck and i’m a bit shaking. already attempted suicide. and i want to go to rehab and so effin desperate.
