Depression Understood Forums

Hello Ghostbusters, To start off, what a crazy experience you had in your 20's. That's a traumatic experience to go through and happy that you're ok. I understand that an event like that can cause anxiety. When I read the line of eating the red skittles first I nearly teared up. All of us here are s...

Hello grace402 I understand the feeling you have. I recently made a post "surrounded but alone" because it truly feels that way. I'm new to this forum and although I have really bad days writing my feelings out has helped. There are plenty of times I think of passive suicide and have come ...

Hello all, It is very nice to see several members reaching out and lending an ear for you Ashley. You are in a very difficult situation and I'm sure all of us here wish there was something more we could offer. All I can say is try your best to make your own new positive memories. Take control and le...

Hello Helloraspberries1, I know sometimes when a person has been depressed for a while the immune system will weaken as well. Now I am not denying the fact that you haven't been feeling better emotionally but, perhaps your immune system still needed to catch up. Unfortunately, while your immune syst...

It can be difficult to be positive when it feels like you are only surrounded by negativity. Think of what you love no matter from what time, when you were a kid or teen. I know that these may have been hard times but if you really want to move forward you have to give it all you got. I want you to ...

Wow Francybrady, I haven't thought about it that way. To be honest it's not the best wake up call but it's true. I tend to do things for everyone else and I'm not really sure what I do for myself. I actually tried thinking of it just now and couldn't think of anything. At times I am happy with my pa...

Hello chirantan Reading your story I am upset you had to go through that. Not only can stress be difficult but the added pressure of feeling like no one is being supportive of you is too much. I wish that you would be able to be open about your sexual orientation because it is your life and no one e...

Hey RyanStark, I understand how you feel. I haven't told anyone that I've been feeling like this for a long time. I've been in the same position as you where self harm is involved. I'm hoping this forum helps with how I feel and I hope it helps you too. I'm new here too and just looking to connect w...

Hello purplepeach, in the same position as you. I understand how difficult it can be to try to find a way to help how you feel. Sometimes I feel like I don't even have any real problems but I can feel so awful and it really sucks. I've tried doing things to stay busy and keep my mind distracted but,...

Ive been fighting with anxiety for as long as I can remember. I'm currently a college student and constantly worrying of my career. I do have a partner but I don't feel that he really understands what I go through. His way of dealing with issues is by using drugs and I don't understand that and don'...
