Depression Understood Forums

I've been volunteering at the Boys & Girls club where I live, but I just couldn't take it there any more. The at risk kids there didn't treat me like a person, so I quit after 5 MONTHS of volunteering. I don't have a school to go to anymore. Didn't have a support group there either. I don't go t...

My family has been the cause of my depression. However, I have no money at all and I have no job. I've been looking for a job ever since I graduated from Seattle University, a year ago, and haven't been employed since. *****if you want to skip to the end, I understand. I tried to keep this as short ...

NO ONE CARES ABOUT ME!!! It's been almost three months and no one has responded!!! Feel sorry about yourselves as I take this frustration on myself!

I've tried that before...twice. All the clubs here are either sports, which I can't do because I'm injured, and volunteer/social work, which I'm not interested at all. There is a fashion club here, but I tried getting into that and no one in the club does anything and the people there don't have the...

Well, I really don't feel like he is. And I don't want to talk to him about ground rules because the way I see it from the past, he'll just continue to brag about how happy he is with her subconciously which I hate because in the past with my other group of friends in HS that's all they did and they...

what Michael said to me: hey, if you and me have a problem, that's fine. but don't go off and say that it's [my girlfriend's] fault that me and you odn't talk anymore. you wanna know why we don't talk???? it's because everytime we do, you always bring up the problems that you miss me, and then you s...

No, I don't push people away. I try to socialize with others, but they always find an excuse. I onced asked a girl on the other end of my floor if I could go with her and her friends to a dance club, but all she told me that she was going with friends from a nearby college and I might not know them....

I HATE MYSELF! I HATE MYSELF!I HATE MYSELF! Nothing ever goes right in my life! I have nothing now, nothing to look forward to. All I have now are a dad who can barely keep my family financially stable, a mom who constantly tells me I need to lose weight, an older brother who constantly gets his way...

I'm not feeling too good now. Michael told me yesterday that he flew from his college in AZ to see his gf in WI and he asked me not to call unless it's urgent. And I'm pretty sure he had sex with her which ticks me off... :cry: But what bothers me is that he somehow got the money to fly out to WI fr...

Sorry I haven't been on for so long. I had to prepare for finals, which I got all C's in my classes which is disappointing because I thought I was doing pretty good up until the point where I started to change. Well, I like to sleep/rest for fun because I barely have time to rest in the first place....

I'm sorry, but my parents would probably never get over the fact that I'm bi. My mom grew up in the Philippines and she still has the mind set of still being there so she is old fashion. Like she's not an open minded person at all...neither is my dad. My dad grew up in Mississippi so he's old fashio...

I know it's better to wait and I am. I've been waiting for 19 freakin' long and disappointing years. I just wish I could find that person so I can have sex for the first time. Then I could most likely relate to everyone and not feel like a deviant and have someone to connect with too...

Well, I just switched from crappy antidepressants ealier this week. And I would visit the chat room, but I can't because it won't work on my computer no matter what I do. And the person I usually ask for technical help was Michael, I'm not kidding, and OBVIOUSLY I can't ask him for help. And if ther...

I've been on antidepressants for about two weeks (the ones I was on last week weren't working) I've been in therapy since this past September...but I always turned to my friend, Michael, for help becuase he helped me like a counselor would...

I just basically lost the one person who truely understands me yesterday. His name is Michael and we've known each other for two years, but we went out near the end of my junior year. We really connected and it was a perfect time for me, but he broke up with me after three months. So within the next...
