Depression Understood Forums

Hi there heavyheart38. It's nice to meet you and welcome to the forums. You sound like a really hard working person who definitely deserves a lot better than what you have to deal with. I'm really sorry that things like this have to happen. Please know that my fingers are FOR SURE crossed for you. I...

Hey there WhatIsThis. I want to welcome you to these forums and it's really nice to meet you. Your story really touches me. It's so unfair that you've had to go through such a rotten time. It scares me when you talk about being so close to suicide though. Maybe it is time for you talk to a counselor...

I want to try something I know it sounds crazy but I HOPE with all my heart it works ... I'd like to start a chain but with this certain chain the links will be made up of everyone's personal abuse stories and comments about what happened to them. Making it a " story chain " Because things...

I'm tired of staying silent. Tonight I want to fight back and speak out. I don't want to be a victim anymore. I want to be the survivor. I wrote this poem for all the times I was too afraid to talk, too afraid to stand up for myself, too afraid to walk away and too afraid to let myself even realize ...

Not everything is gone. You have us here. I really hope you'll stay.

Hi there Chitin. It's really nice to meet you. Your story is so sad. I must have read it half a dozen times trying to find the right words that can offer you some comfort. The suicide you talk about really hits home and when you spoke of pondering " why your even really here." I can relate...

I hope someday you do break free. Keep writing. You are awesome at it.

Hey there I. It's nice to meet you. Welcome to the message boards. There is a meaning to life and that is to be as happy as a person can be since we are only given one life. But when you have depression that chance is ripped away from you and right now my heart goes out to you because you hurt so mu...

No it's not a selfish post. Your hurting and you need a place to vent. You need people that will listen. People with eyes that will see your pain. And you need to know that you aren't alone in this horrible hell that your going through. We will see your pain here and I want to personally give you a ...

Hey there Forget. It's nice to meet you. I think I know why you are writing this. Because nothing in the world hurts more than when your heart is so broken by the one person you gave your whole heart to. The person you felt so safe with ... the person you imagined spending your whole life standing b...

Hey there Kneller. It's nice to meet you. One of the most difficult things is trying so hard and it not seeming to make any difference. I'm really sorry for everything your going through. I know it seems like the universe is plotting against you but I promise it's not. I'm going to keep my fingers c...

I'm very glad that you survived them debanedaemone.

Hi there Sadsack. I think you are a normal person in the sense that you are a beautiful, wonderful person that is going through a very hard time because of the horrible time you had to go through growing up. To me a reaction to something like that is very normal for someone. But at the same time it'...

Thank you Doogie. Your words mean all the world to me right now. And thank you too HeatherFeather I hope with all my heart someday you get to the " top of your mountain " . I promise that my fingers are ALWAYS going to be crossed for you. Thank you also hazeleyes. I won't let people like m...
