Depression Understood Forums

Hey iknow how the feels when I was 25 I was in the same spot as you . Thinking to my self why do I want to keep on leaving if I haven't accomplished nothing or felt any happiness anymore why stay alive. But looking at my family suffering because of me I hated that the most thats a horrible feeling....

Hey QuercusRubra, just wanted to know. You okay mate? Hope you're doing good. I'm still breathing if that's what you mean? Still think about death a whole bunch and whether I can keep "this" up for a lifetime. I will be turning 25 this year. I don't understand why anybody gets up everyday...

I never asked to be here, but society deems it "unacceptable" for me to leave. Every day i wake and think "today is another day of consuming more than i can return". Every bite of food, every joule of energy, every drop of fuel. I am just adding to the increasing problem that is ...

Dont even know if im "allowed" to talk like this on here but idc. Is there an easy, painless way to kill yourself? Apparently liver failure if fairly pain free, just makes you nauseous and sleepy, but havent found an easy way to trigger it. Obviously alchol will do it eventually but it tak...

I dont get it. She told me he was abusive and made her feel like shit. She made me promise her i wouldn't hurt myself but thats exactly what she is doing by getting back with him. And what, im worth so little that an abusive, toxic relationship is better. I cant tell her how to live her life, but if...

Hey again Just wanted to check your ok. Sorry if I sounded too blunt x Hi, dont worry, im not dead yet. Its been a rough year and im not out of it yet, but im getting better and managing my emotions and the suicidal thoughts are less intense. Thanks for your responses, i like hearing other people's...

This forum is often filled with tales and feelings of dark times. I have had my fair share and there is some level of comfort knowing im not alone. Today has been one of those rare, good days. Nothing was particularly different. The sun was shining, my family were in good spirit, and my mind decided...

I hadn't heard that term before, "hikikomori", but after looking it up its actually quite relevant to my situation. I dont know how to get out of it, but i wish you the strength you need to do so.

I realise this is a normal thing for depression but how the hell do you get passed it?! All i want to do recently is shut myself away in my bedroom, get high, and forget about everything. How do i wake up in the morning, jump out of bed, and tell myself its gonna be a good day... i would be lying. I...

The only thing stopping me from giving up is the girl i love. I have loved her since we were kids. Recently, my feelings for her have only gotten stronger and she knows how i feel... at least i think she does. She goes from telling me she loves me, to saying she is embarrassed we had sex, and that s...

Im 23 years old and i know i will eventually take my own life. This used to terrify me, but now it is as normal as the sun setting. Nothing particularly devastating has happened recently but this thought becomes more common and easy to swallow. Someday when i manage to distance myself from the last ...

I was diagnosed with depression a few days ago. For years i thought i was just a weak, miserable c***. Until about a week ago when i had serious thoughts of suicide. Everytime i have a dark spell, i have the same feeling. As if these thoughts aren't mine but there is some comfort in wallowing in the...
