Depression Understood Forums

Glad to see you managed to deal with it by yourself, ricky. It's only that for some people, the part of the mind affected is of some kind that takes out the will to struggle or live, and that can be very hard to get back.

Hi. I feel I can't contribute with knowledge because I don't have experience in this situation, but I'm someone who is reading and supporting.

Listen to the man I've been learning from him myself.

Hi, LB, I don't have experience with mood changing, but I'm glad to see that you are a very charismatic person in this mood. Wish I could help you, but all I can offer for now is friendship and try to learn with you, if possible.

Thanks and welcome!

Hi, ruiner, I'm 25, been deep depressed and attempted suicide once during my teenage. I know the feeling of the abyss you are in. But you are not alone in this. It won't be easy! but you can surely deal with this. My depression was NEVER gone, but I did find some ways to live in good terms with it (...

Hi. I'm about to get married and that is making me anxious in a bad way. I've been thinking a lot about it. Specially because I have this close relationship with depression. Anyway, I don't have experience in what you are passing through, so I also wish to learn how to deal with it. Thanks and welco...

akahachi, when I went to college, study made me feel better. I also play chess, play videogames, other board games, listen to music and read a lot. An important thing to keep in mind when doing these things: don't do it as an escape valve! You'll feel terrible later if you find out you're only runni...

I know only you can measure your suffering, and if you don't want anyone to be close, we'll respect that. But most of us here understand about feeling lonely and not understood. If somehow we can help, please tell us how

I'm also a non-native speaker. I'm from Brazil (#changebrazil) and I've seen no judge around here

Nice to see you two getting along =)

I suggest you to avoid smoking and drinking when anxious. These will give you a momentary solution, but will aggrave your depression (specially when you realize you need these to keep calm). It seems like you have family and friends to support you, don't shy on asking for help. It's hard to deal wit...

Sorry, didn't catch what you meant. Willing to understand, though. Silence can be good, sometimes.

Hello, Rsika. I'm in the same boat as yours. I'm somewhat fine now and feel able to deal with any kind of depression that aflicts me (but I'm ready to search for help if in need). I've been trying to share my experiences with people around here. Trying to help also helps me. I'm not a professional s...

When alone we are vulnerable to this. Our mistakes even worse the situation, but what is done is done, so what to do now? Try to get in touch with good companies, and not someone who wants to take advantage on your fragility. A good company will be, most times, that one person who tried to reach you...

If you are still close to this friend, you should be honest and tell her what you are feeling about this. This can either make you two come closer again, or you can find that she is really changing. You should not give up on her, but it's up to her to find what she really wants =/ You'll feel lonely...
