Depression Understood Forums

My first post in this forum was January 2011. Back then, I was real depressed. I stopped schooling, my circle of friends were only that handful of them, I had a boring dead end job and my life was repetitive of dullness. I really couldn't see a way out in my life. But things took a turn during May t...

Hi CamO, yes I felt the same way too! I wished I hadn't skip class and quit school. I wished I had fought against it and persevere on. But I didn't and I hate myself for that.

I'm a brownie! (:

Thank you Warmsou/Jeanie13! I found this really true too! (:

Hello. Loneliness really does mess up with someone's mind right? I feel the same way as you do. I am a decent person, I don't do drugs, I don't hook ups. Yet, no one seems to appreciate all these even though people had whining about wanting to date someone who is not a jerk/b*tch. Life it seems, is ...

I guess I'm just afraid? Afraid of what? I don't know.

Thank you for your advice, I'll seek counseling soon!

Thank you for your kind offer, Greg. I'll remember that if I need a listening ear. (:

Yeah, it's the year of the rabbit. Hope it'll bring hopes to you.

Take care!

Hey, you're not alone in being a "bed potato". :wink: I know it's nothing to be proud of but just want to let you know it's not all that weird. Well, I've lost my job 2 months ago. I've been putting off finding a new one because I told myself I'll be schooling in a few months time. A full-...

Hello Greg! Nice to meet you. Isn't it funny, sometimes when you look at your life from the outside, you felt that you shouldn't feel unhappy about it at all? At least that's how I feel. I'm not handicapped, my intelligence is slightly above average, I'm not poor and I have great friends and family....

I know that feeling. For some time, I felt suicidal. I really wanted to leave this world and end everything. The other day I was hanging out with some of my close friends and one them remarked that: "Those people who killed themselves are so stupid! There's so much more in life! Why can't they ...

I have this very bad habit. I have a bunch of good friends who are as close to me as family. But sometimes, I feel out of sync with them. Though we had known each other for nearly 6 years, there are times where I felt so left out. I often stood outside of the circle, not knowing when to join in thei...

I know, depression isn't something that medicine can cure, unlike a cold or fever. That's why I feel the same as you, if only we can be more courageous and be more strong, maybe we can overcome this "sadness" or "worthlessness". If you do not wish to see a doctor (& get medic...

I feel about the same as you. I was 3 years older than my classmates and I just can't mix into their lifestyle. And so, I isolate myself. I'll skip lunch & hide out in the library to spend the time away.

Anyway, I hope you'll find some comfort writing down your thoughts here. Take care. (:
