Depression Understood Forums

Beautiful!!
Brought a huge smile to my face!

Hey GlassHeart! I only just saw this post. I'm sad that you can identify with this as I wouldn't wish it upon anyone, but also feel happy in knowing that I am not alone and you can relate. I hope you are doing well, and are feeling better since this post. I have been having ups and downs, but feel a...

For the past 2 months I have been the happiest I have been in an extremely long time. But throughout those 2 months there was always a voice in the back of my head saying 'how long is this going to last... I know it's gonna end soon' Even though I was happy I was still constantly waiting for that da...

Thank you for all the good times we shared. Even though these were only at the very beginning and I think they’re pretty limited, and also during the good times they were pretty much always overridden by bad times. Sometimes I wonder why we were ever together. I don’t think you ever really loved me ...

100footpole, drm.big, I really appreciate those replies. It has given me some confidence to be able to 'let go' more, I think I need to keep trying to live in the present more, and take each day as it comes. I think we are mostly in control of how we FEEL about things that happen to us, but not alwa...

GlassHeart, thank you for your reply. I am very grateful for such sound advice. I am sad that it seems like you feel as though it is too late for you to find a companion, or to turn your life in a different direction. Please don't believe that it is ever too late. Nobody deserves to feel alone, beca...

Thanks for your post allseeingi. I would say that I am insecure, and completely get what you mean by how these kinds of people seem to prey on perhaps weaker.. insecure people. But when you say you did learn to avoid these kinds of people, my problem is that dealing with someone such as this takes t...

I feel like sometimes I'm told whatever happens in life is meant to happen... and what will be will be because it's for a reason etc... But then on the other hand, I get told we are meant to make our own choices and our choices in life make our destiny, and that if we want something, we have to chan...

Yes I didn't read the download either, completely agree on whether to trust a Dr etc who recommends themselves. I have been very busy too, and I have finally come to the realisation of what kind of person my ex boyfriend is and how he treated me. He was very controlling and manipulative, wasn't able...

I have a lot of anxiety at the moment due to the fact it is exam time and I have projects and deadlines due, therefore the pressure I feel I have on me has overridden every other kind of emotion. But on a brighter note, I actually feel somewhat better since my post. I look back and even though it wa...

Thanks for your post. It has actually made me feel somewhat better. It's admirable that you find positivity in something that could be so negative. I also love cuddling my cat, she's always there when I need someone! Lots of positivity and hope for the future, for you

Another note... I think past experiences and childhood really do affect you in huge ways. I grew up from an early age with a family of excessive drinkers, that enjoyed a party too much that always ended in arguments and fights. My mum and dad had the most terrible arguments and fights especially aft...

Thanks for an interesting reply. I think I understand what you are trying to say with the quote from 'Deadpool'. Like I said I am very aware of how lucky I am in many aspects and areas of my life... I have began thinking of what I am grateful for every day. I read many articles and information about...

I never thought I'd get to a point where I felt the need to tell my story on a depression forum. I think I have reached a point where I need to let out exactly how I feel and this is the only place I can do it. I am very lucky to have the life I have. I have a great family that care and support me. ...
