Depression Understood Forums

HI!...How did you come to terms with depression.... I need a way out I think the first step is to get a hold on your desperation: the first thing that comes to our mind when emptiness comes is "I don't know what to do!", but that's not true, we're just giving up. So we should think about ...

I know how it is to stand against our family, sometimes we need to be strong to our own ideas and confront them. Are you a minor? If they treat you with violence, you should search for help (school, or someone you can trust). I don't know if there is any space for talking (usually not), but if so, m...

Welcome!

Some close friends want me to start therapy. I know I should, just to stay put, but I really think I'm ok now. I don't cut myself anymore nor think of suicide. I've changed a lot from teenage to adult life. I'm not taking any meds also. Sometimes I get depressed for one or two days, but I guess that...

Hey, Max. I'm also new around here and am trying to get in touch with people. There's another section where you can post Your Story, give it a try I'll read it for sure.

If no, try to talk to someone close and apologize. Try to redeem yourself and endure the situation. Don't give up in searching for possibil...

Hi. I'm also new around here. Over the years I've learned how to understand, accept and deal with my sorrow. Now I love the feel of true sadness. I'm not suggesting this way to anybody. I've read your story and am looking forward for the results of your medication and general treatment. Good luck!

powerful story. I can imagine what people tell you, basic empty comforting words. I deal with depression by acceptance. I don't know if it is helpful.

Hi. I'm from Brazil and I have reached the apice of my depression in my teenage (I'm 25 now), somewhere betwwen 14 and 19 years old. Now I have a great comprehension of myself and have learned how to deal with it. Depression was never gone, but understood and accepted. P.S.: I never had professional...

I'm Ghost. My depression was not so deep, but I have this something that stayed.
