Depression Understood Forums

I think of this sometimes, and the pain is excruciating that I immediately drift away from the thought. It's hard to let go of the things we love but as hard as it sounds, nothing is permanent, We are all born to die. So we have to enjoy the times in between. Maybe the memories would make us smile i...

Exactly. Now, we are told to stay home which, come to think of it, is a blessing. We get to spend time with our loved ones and isn't that the most important thing in life, our family.

Hi there. Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry about how you're feeling. It may not make sense now but try your very best to get through it. And don't mind what other people say or feel about you.

Hi Jay, So brave of you to open up. If I may ask, what triggers your depression? You might get this a lot already, but you are too young to be feeling the way you do. I really hope if it's possible that your parents know what you're going through because it would kill me if my son feels this way and...

Wow. That's a nice poem. So sweet and thoughtful of you. A lot of people need to see this. Thank you for your wonderful words.

COVID-19 has surely made a lot of impact on our lives. Some developed depression, while some who already have it worsened due to the lockdowns. How are you guys affected by it? How are you dealing with everything that has been going on?

Hello there. I hope you're feeling better. It's not easy when your depression or negative thoughts are triggered by the very people you live with.
