Depression Understood Forums

Yeah, it is me again. I have no friends or family to speak to, so I am coming here to write how I am feeling. So, I am in work, and just received a phone call in regards to my Mom's phone bill. I told them again that she has passed away. They asked me for the date, and I told him - November 2nd, 201...

Hi noodlesoup6: It seems everytime I read messages in this forum, I always can somehow relate, and it makes me feel better that I am not the only one going through this. You should not be so hard on yourself. You seem to know what the problem is and that is a good first step. When I was young and ha...

Thank you 4EverMe for listening. I feel better after talking with my therapist, I am going to see her next week too. She thinks I may need a partial program. That is when you go get mental health help all day long, but go home at night to be with your family. I did this once before 2 1/2 years ago, ...

:cry: Here are my thoughts for today: I hate my job. I actually hung up on someone today. I am at the point where I cannot take any further meanness or sarcasim, or condescending BS. I am sooo afraid I am going to flip out and lose my job. That is, if I still have one after hanging up on another emp...

Hi twistedjupiter: Please know you are not alone in this. There are many people out there who feel the same as you. I have had depression, anxiety, social phobia, etc. for over 30 years. When I was young I thought everything was beautiful too. Then out of nowhere, when I was 16 years old, I had a br...

Hi guys: My depression and anxiety manifests itself in the form of over sleeping and overeating. I have never heard of someone quite like me, that they sleep more the more depressed they get. When I am really stressed, I become so exhausted. I have two school age kids and a full time job, but I find...

Hi Kaileigh: I feel so bad for you. Please know that there are many, many people out here just like you. I too will never get over my childhood innocense being shattered. When I was young I thought the world was beautiful, and that everyone was nice. Did not last long. When I was around 10 I started...

Hi Brentlyp: I am new here also. I have always had a problem with anger. I am a very peaceful person. I am very private and do not have a lot of people in my life that I trust. The only thing that really angers me is when I feel like someone is bullying me, or when I feel like someone is disrespectf...

Hello again Woglinde. I really hope you can find someone to talk to, even if it is over the phone. I was sooo afraid to take medication when I was younger, I simply refused. I did not want to be on mental health meds the rest of my life. Then after fighting it for so long, I decided to secretly try ...

Hi Woglinde, I am a little like you. I have had depression, anxiety, panic attacks, migraines, etc. since I was 16 years old. I tried to fight it, tried to convince myself I could beat it. Now, it is getting really bad. I too break down and cry all the time (only when I am by myself). I do not know ...

Hi, I am new here. I have suffered with depression since I was 16, 32 years ago. All of my life, it has followed me. Sometimes I can handle it really well, and other times, it is very, very, hard. I am having a particular tough time right now. I feel like I have a black cloud following me. I am so s...
