Depression Understood Forums

I wander, and I drift, and I cannot seem to latch onto anything and nothing seems to penetrate. I need to talk, but I feel like I'm shouting and no one is hearing me. I feel like a shadow or invisible and I feel broken beyond repair.

But...to try something new, I am trying this. I have never participated in any kind of forum or online chat group. I don't know how comfortable I feel with the idea. But I don't know what else to do.

hey, just thought i should say hi, sorry you are feeling low.
take care

Thanks for responding. I am low, very low. yes. thanks again.

fallen pulls the sun from behind the clouds so it shines down on PilgrimChild, hope you have a better day.
take care

Hello Pilgrim. I am new here too and very apprehensive. I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I feel almost exactly as you described above. I don't have an answer for making it better, but know that you are not alone. I hope things get better for you very soon.

Me too, Pilgrim. I don't know why I feel so bad and can't seem to get beyond this grinding hopelessness. I have been suffering from depression/anger issues most of my life and I'm so sick of it. Thought reaching out to others might start me in a new direction, because my old ways of thinking are beyond useless.

You all have "trying something new" in common. Very brave!

I feel exactly the same way! It does suck- but it will get easier and it will get better. We have to give these things time.
