Depression Understood Forums

I've been through hell this year and it's too much for me to handle. I got betrayed by all people I thought who won't. My ex- boyfriend cheated. My best friend is flirting my ex who cheated on me. My close friends didn't give a damn about me and chooses to stay friends with my ex best friend and ex boyfriend. And I had this guy friend who comforts me a while, I thought he understand my pain but still leaves me. I dropped out on school, cant handle the stress what i'm going through right now. My family won't understand all this shit what im going through. So basically my life is nothing now.

Boy, you've certainly been through a lot this past year. It's really hard when we feel betrayed by people we thought we could trust. But if you keep putting all your trust in people - you're going to be continuously disappointed. There is someone who does love you though - In fact, He loves you unconditionally. I don't know if you believe in God or not, but He really does love you, and He only wants the best for you. You're very special to Him. Have you tried counseling? Is there a pastor of a church you could talk to? What about your parents?

I haven't tried any counseling. It crosses my mind but don't know where to start. I'm all alone and don't know what to do.I'm stuck in my room and no one seems to care. Yes baffin, I do believe in Him.

The terrible thing about life is that we need to take risks. The terrible thing about depression is that it feels like no one cares. Ongoing depression enhances our perception of risk and combines it with the idea that no one cares if we fail.

We care on here, but chances are your circumstances are different enough from ours that no advice can be perfect. I think on here you have the freedom to look for solutions ... and then tell us how your efforts are going.

Are there churches in your area? Write down their numbers, call them up, and then tell them you need their help to find someone to talk to. I recommend bigger denominations vs. smaller churches. A smaller denomination can be over-confident, and not have the experience to give you the things that you need. A bigger church can feel impersonal. Talk to a couple of churches and then go with the direction that your heart feels best with.

I am assuming that you are some place where the government doesn't seem to care (USA). A good church can connect you to the help you need. If you are not comfortable with that look at http://www.crisischat.org/.

Please let us know how you are doing.

Dont be like that. Life has ups and downs. This was a bad period but have in mind that it can only get better in future.
