Depression Understood Forums

Okay hi everyone.. I've never used this sort of site before..
My name is Alexandra I'm 17 years old and have severe depression and anxiety.
Ever since i was a small child i have had many emotion issues, including holding in my emotions until i am physically sick in strange ways.

I'm quite scared because my depression has gotten even worse, i have absolutely no motivation and am losing interest in most of the things i love and I'm always feeling sick and tired, and that i'm absolutely nothing.

I've never talked to another person who has depression like me and i guess it would just help to talk to someone..

Hi Alexandra. Youve come to a good place. And it does help. The people here are very supportive. I am sorry you are feeling so bad. Please feel free to use the chatroom too.

Hi Alexandra, a very big hug and welcome. Depression needs no reason and is not your fault. It is important that you remember that. It is brave to talk about it and important that you seek medical and emotional support. This site is a great place to express how you are feeling, exchange information with others, and receive peer support. Hope to hear from you again soon and our thoughts are with you.
