Depression Understood Forums

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

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 late...

I posted a lengthy letter on here a few weeks ago, detailing my experiences with COCSA and how it made me feel...how it affected me. Hours went by before I deleted it and I sort of regret it. I still have the letter but, I don't think I'll ever repost it because I'm ashamed of other people knowing s...

I just found out that my little brother (11 M) has been getting harassed by a grown man. He walks to and from school. Apparently this man says he'll beat him up when he sees him. My brother had a cast on his hand a few months ago and the guy had asked about it, but my brother ignored him. He's been ...

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...

Yes I can relate. My reasoning was the fact that the pain of self inflicted injuries normally overshadowed the emotional pain I was going through at the time. So, it would feel...nice. like I was releasing some of that pain from my body. But I normally put a stop to those thoughts. I often distracte...

I've found myself agreeing and/or relating to some posts and comments on here. It'd be nice if there was a thumbs up feature(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠). That's it. All I had to say. Bye!

These words I spoke to my youngest son seven years ago as he and my husband stared at me as I was handcuffed and loaded into an ambulance.

Wow salmon. That's a tearjerker. Hope all is well your way.

Well, the first thought that stopped me from even thinking about it seriously is the fact that my mother would be devastated, and I wouldn't want that. Another thought, was that God would not like it if I took matters in my own hands, and I didn't wanna die knowing he would be upset with me. I guess...

I struggle the same way. In junior high, I had these issues but my depression clouded it, in a way. In highschool I got better and so I became more aware of my surroundings. Which sucked because I realized I was more alone than I thought. I didn't have much "friends", not real ones and sit...

I hear you. Especially on the last sentence. When I was younger, I started cutting myself. I'm not sure if anyone knew, but I remember talking to my mom about how I felt, and the things I was dealing with at the time. She didn't hear me out. That day's such a blur I barely remember what happened. Bu...

Hello. I'd like to suggest FMYH. It's a streaming site that provides a list of free websites to watch whatever you'd like. I use it all the time. You'd have to press the streaming tab to get there. There are other services/tabs but I hardly pay attention to it. Have a nice day.

I wonder if anyone here is interested in learning more about God. I'm not the best "christian" but I've come to learn he helps a lot.

I'm sorry to hear so. That sucks ass. I never cared for spring or any season really, and I wish I could better relate to you. Then maybe I could say the right things.
