First time sharing

Postby Echo13 » Sat Mar 12, 2011 2:10 am

This is the first time I have ever reached out to anyone about my depression. I guess I thought that it would be easier to tell a stranger, especially one that is searching for the same thing I am. I want my voice to be heard and I know that I should try to convey how i feel. Around others I have to problem with my voice being heard :D . I am a friend to many and I have many friends but I feel alone. Like I said above, I have never told anyone about how I feel or what I do to myself. My feelings range from extreme fear, depression, anger (a lot of anger) and a lot of the time I am paralyzed by these things. I tried to tell someone about this today but found everything falling away, nothing was right. I am frustrated, even now, and feel like I cannot express what has been happening to me for....I don't even know how long...I am 17 and I feel that this is the next step after reading through some of the wonderful and encouraging posts on this site. Thank you - echo13

Hi. Nice to meet you. My depression often manifests itself as anger too. That and self loathing and isolating. I have found a lot of really nice people here who help a lot. I hope you find the same support hon. It's such a huge step for you to take in reaching out. I'm glad you did.

Hey

You know it was the anger that threw me off. I never realized that anger was part of depression. I had the notion that depression meant being quiet and isolated. I put my anger down to everything other than what was really going on. Crazy huh?
Echo13 I hope you keep posting and that in time you'll find your words to share how you are feeling with the people that care about you. It's hard...but doable when you are ready.
Take care little one and keep writing and creating.
