Depression Understood Forums

I'm sorry to hear so. That sucks ass. I never cared for spring or any season really, and I wish I could better relate to you. Then maybe I could say the right things.

" I've tried all the short-cuts, all the tough but admirable paths, and all the therapeutic methods out there and still end up back to the beginning of everything. I'm tired, desperate yet unwilling to quit yet." It's great that you're unwilling to quit. That's good. You have such a fighti...

You did everything right: trusting your instincts, avoiding confrontation, and getting to safety. Please take care of yourself and talk to someone you trust if this keeps weighing on you. And if something like this happens again, consider reporting it if you feel safe doing so. You deserve to feel ...

Im really chatty, and clingy. I love people I love, and I love people I hate, but I actually hate people. Weird sentence. Let me explain. I'm a lover, and a yapper, and it's easy for me to admire someone and find the good in them. Including people who may not have done well by me. However, people t...

. I only have one friend here locally but he's not the best quality. There have been many times I've threatened to let him go. He's 90 years old, so he has physical limits. We talk on the phone mostly but sometimes we get together. At times he can be nice to talk to but other times he can be a real...

As soon as I read the caption I knew I would relate. Growing up, I wasn't suicidal because I didn't know that suicide was an option. I was just depressed. Bullying at school and a lack of understanding at home played big roles. I'm sorry you feel that way. The good thing about life is you still have...

I'm glad you had a nice experience. Great to hear. My knowledge on these things are limited, but great job.

So I was on christian TikTok and I don't remember what the original post was about but one of the comments made me feel a little light and happy. Someone talked about how Moses and Abraham felt safe enough to negotiate with God, and how that in itself is a testament as to how gentle and kind He must...

Thank you. I appreciate this response.

Was walking home from uni today. A guy said I had a "model walk" but at least he didn't do anything so he's not the worst part. No, the scariest part was that the closer I got home, there was this old man on a bike. He drove really close to me, and eventually in front of me, but he just ke...

Ive been calling myself mean things as of late. Usually, I try not to. As I've gotten comfortable though, I tend to find it easy to call myself mean things, because it's genuinely how I feel in the moment, but I always feel bad. It's mostly because I feel like I shouldn't curse, and because I think ...

...but I don't have a reason to feel this way. Not really, at least. I guess I should be grateful, y'know. I'm alive, and very fortunate to have things other people don't. So that, along with my christian background is the only thing keeping me together I think. That's it. That's all I have to say.
