Depression Understood Forums

I have no one to talk to, and the persons closest to me hurt me. How incredibly pitiful. How unexplainably sad. To feel so unheard, and belittled. To feel like I'm taking one step forward and ten steps back. To feel so wronged, and deserving of mistreatment at the same time. To feel so dumb, to feel like I'm making a mistake when I dare to give myself an ounce of empathy, how disheartening. To feel so unbearably misunderstood...What a sad condition, what a sad girl, with no one to talk to. With no one to share her melancholy with.

I'm sorry you feel this way. I'm feeling the same, so all I could say is, "join the club" Maybe that doesn't make you feel better, but I feel the same and I guess many others do, too. I'm sure many others do even though it looks like they have it all together.

I feel like, especially lately, that people (like my family and friends - with what very little that I have) are disappointing me. I talk to them and I feel like I don't get treated the best and, when I talk to them (on the phone only - not in person), they don't make sense with what they say. So it leaves me feeling alone, like living in a vacuum.

Sometime soon, it could all change for you. I hope it does. You seem like someone who has a lot of good to offer for others. Best to you.

You’re not alone — your pain is real, and Speed Stars your feelings are valid. Please keep holding on, and be kind to yourself.

Thanks Tom. You think too well of me. I feel that way too, and it seems those hurting me don't agree that they're hurting me, don't even care to know if they are. I like the vacuum analogy. I don't feel heard, so to me it's dark, devoid of air, and quiet. And if I try to speak, nothing comes out

Hi Jennie, I know in my head that my emotions are valid, but it doesn't feel that way. And it's hard to be kind to myself. But thank you, and you have such a pretty name
