Depression Understood Forums

Omg, I thought it was just me. Whistling irritates me so much! The sound of the phone ringing, knives and forks scratching against plates, motorcycles, cars with loud engines, I could go on. I know I am super sensitive but I have yet to figure out how to let those sounds happen without wanting to p...

My boyfriend cheated on me after 4 years. I forgave him because i believe that our relationship is much bigger than his actions that night. He is regretful, came clean on his own accord, and he paid for couples therapy for a while. Now its been 7 months but i still struggle frequently. Most days i ...

You can try to take care of yourself and talk to a therapist. You deserve to be loved, cherished and treasured--but you have to believe and feel this within yourself first. I hope your broken heart heals, and you become stronger and more confident from this. You don't deserve this treatment. No one ...

Hello, welcome. I stop by once a day on here. I hope others reply and send you a warm welcome

Please seek therapy to break your co-dependence on other people. Please. You deserve to be happy. But you must first believe that you and you alone are worthy, important, special, good, kind, loving, and this is with or without your boyfriend, YOU ARE ENOUGH. Also it's dangerous to determine your wo...

I went on the chat room today. All I said was hi, and then it said I was banned from the room! I tried to go back to see why, but it banned my ip; for saying hi...

[quote="adelenicoley8"]Has anyone here heard of the book Shoot the Damn Dog? I have been suffering a particularly bad bout of depression and decided that reading a book about someone else's experience might help me. And it did. Shoot the Damn Dog was really inspiring, it made me feel less ...

9/22/2017 Hi Spleefy, I don't mind long replies, I appreciate that you take the time to be so thorough in your writing. I see you writing a book one day, being a best selling author even. Since it was a long reply, I don't want to forget what I've read and not address it. One, your nan passed, is th...

Hi Spleefy, I'm doing relatively okay. Thank you always for asking. Hey where did the name Spleefy come from? Just wondering. Okay, well, I'm hanging in there--about all I can do these days.

Hi Spleefy, Happy birthday to your friend, I hope they enjoy the card and time you put in to send it and think of them. I'm happy to hear if you're able, you have the ability to fix yourself. That's amazing. Highly motivating. Yes going to many therapist after awhile feels like, nothing moving forwa...

Hi Spleefy, Everything you write is so wonderful. I can't believe I'm lucky and get to read your writing. I'm sorry your friend is still blocking your friendship and attempts to stay connected. I do believe she'll come around, when she's better--when she's sorted out her issues and can deal again. I...

Thank you for the consoling words :wink: I thought not once about psychologists when things were going really badly. However, therapists are quite expensive, and I didnt have the money. Also, what is more important I think, I couldn't tell all the things that bothered me to anyone - I had to make i...

I check this site a couple times a day, always once a day. Once again, you're writing is just incredible. Bu...
