Depression Understood Forums

I am also a Christian. Your post made me smile, as it is uplifting. Thank you for conveying truth in a world where "political correctness" is an attempt to rob some of our constitutional right to free speech and expression. I have respect for people who are brave enough to use their rights...

Also, I know...the social anxiety really sucks.

Hi Nathan,
Welcome aboard. And, I DO understand! I've had depression and panic disorder for years...I feel you.

Hello,
I've been on 1mg xanax four times a day for years...I could be facing jail (1-2 yrs). I cannot go
off my med cold turkey! Advice from a loved one is to "get off the grid." It's fight or flight...
Any advice? I'm scared to death, honestly!

Hi FML,
So, what became of the situation with the girl you liked? Hopefully, you've just been too busy enjoying time with her that you haven't had much time for further posting.

Hi Lostandlonely22, I'm sorry to read about your predicament. Additionally, I relate to the guilt of making poor choices regardless of my better judgment. Have you asked for forgiveness, and have you forgiven yourself as well? The reason I ask is because all too often depression stems from unresolve...

Thank you for your response, and "No." No more of the cutting. This is something I haven't done a lot in my life because, as a Christian, it weighs on my conscience... Out of curiosity, why do you call the dark figure your friend? If you see it as the embodiment of your depression, I'd pre...

Right now, I sit and admire a gorgeous sunset. The golden light has filtered through my window- setting my apt ablaze. I praise God for his handiwork.
..Beautiful and awe inspiring.
(not to mention my prisms sparkling brightly)

Lovely poem...I'm sorry for your obvious pain.

P.S. All of my friends say that I should be a counselor. I'm a good listener. I've been through a lot of life experience, and am very intuitive...

Hello, I'm a female with some advice.... This girl is obviously interested or she wouldn't have added you to her facebook. Don't be too shy and make her wait so long to hear from you, or she will naturally assume you have no interest in her... BTW, there's nothing wrong with being a virgin. You shou...

Hello Flik94,
I need to let you know that I just wrote a long response to your post only to accidentally erase it!
I'm unable to retype it at the moment, but I will soon. Until then, please know that someone truly cares!

Yeah, it doesn't seem like such a big deal to me neither. I don't find the "creepy" factor in this situation. But, you've already apologized if you made her feel awkward or uncomfortable in any way. If I were you, I'd just try to relax. When you see her again just be yourself. I hope this ...

Please tell us your situation. It's hard to help in any way when we're basically in the dark as to what issue(s) are plaguing you...

Hello Palesa, I agree whole heartedly with what sousui94 had to say. You also should have left this cheating and abusive jerk a loooong time ago! I can't imagine how low your sense of self value is to have endured such continual mistreatment. Honestly, I'd prefer to say, "Run. Don't walk!"...
