Re: Nearly broken.
As I read your posts here, I can't help but see glimpses of myself - specifically the wanting attention and feeling sad when meaningful conversation is deliberately withheld from you. I wonder if that is a part of your "Love Language". https://bit.ly/2FV1MiJ, wanting affirmations and quali...

Re: new member
Hi Lonesome - so nice to meet you. I think you'll find this to be a safe place where you can unload your heaviest burdens with those who understand. All who write here have experienced their peace getting robbed from their lives in one form or another, so to come together to encourage each other can...

Re: Introduction
Welcome Nhwiren - I think you will find this to be a comfortable place to share your thoughts. We are allowed to be raw honest about the reality we live each day, and I personally have found much comfort and relief from my worries when I talk it over. Depression has run in my family for generations,...

Re: This is a story of my life.
Hi sweetheart - thank you so much for sharing your story and letting us get to know you. My heart is sad that you carry around all these heavy concerns. If you can't talk to your parents, then I would encourage you to ask the administrative staff at school for phone numbers of safe people you can ta...

Re: giving up
Hi sweetheart, I am so glad to meet you. I wish we could sit down over a bowl of ice cream and talk about life, the ups and downs we face, and how to work through them. Everyone has their struggles and challenges, and sometimes all you need is one person who can listen and respond with unconditional...

Re: Only This
The beginning of your post sounds like something I would read in a book. I like the words you chose to describe yourself - they provide a nice visual. Maybe writing will be in your future. I know those words weren't written as an introduction in a book - they are your real life. Those thoughts are a...

Re: Don´t know what to do
From reading your words, I can tell you are under heavy oppression, which is basically mental pressure and distress. I have been in that place too, so I understand what you are experiencing. You made mention of " i miss those day when i had friends, a boyfriend and geniune happiness," Can ...

Re: Can u be depressed...when nothing is wrong?
There are a couple thoughts I have regarding your situation, and they stem from similar feelings I used to have for most of my life. Back when I was younger (I am now 64) I noticed how I stayed in a continual depressed state of mind. It wasn't until I reached my 30's that a friend helped me understa...

Re: Depression and Relationships
Sweetheart, I am so sorry about the heaviness that weighs you down. You paint a good picture with your words to describe what is going on. I know you don't want to stay stuck in a place where you believe there is no hope for a fulfilling future, and it seems as though your are ready and willing to t...

Re: Hey
Thanks for opening up about yourself. I can tell your situation bothers you enough to share it, and even though you don't want help, I know you must want relief from the depression. Admitting our wrongdoing takes courage, and I don't know that I would feel so free to share things I'm ashamed of on a...

Re: What’s wrong with me??
Hi sweetheart! I just read your post here and I'm glad you felt the freedom to unload so many of your concerns. Being able to vocalize things sure is a good starting point to help understand why you feel this way. I'm sure there are a lot of factors involved, from your childhood, your personality, y...

Re: New and looking for people to talk to
Lady, One million times, thank you. You hit the nail on the head and made me look past the emptiness of not having my daughter home to realizing that I can move on and do wonderful amazing things myself. I guess I’ve been ill so much that I’m also afraid my daughter will sense my apprehension of he...

Re: New and looking for people to talk to
Hi Jacie - don't worry - you can feel completely free with writing what you did. This is the kind of forum where you can be blunt and get right to the point. I think you did the right thing by unloading your concerns, and sharing from the depth of your heart. I think sometimes just doing that helps ...

Re: Alone
My heart goes out to you dear friend, and I'm glad you reached out to connect with others. Fighting yourself as if you were your own adversary is debilitating and I too at one time experienced feelings of failure and despair that accompany such a journey through life. I used to stay trapped inside m...

Re: Help me I'm a failure
I think it's very normal to feel intimidated in unfamiliar territory, such as considering employment outside the parameters you originally envisioned for yourself. Changing directions midway through your career goals like this is a transition that will require time and patience. Please be good to yo...
