Depression Understood Forums

-manymany hugs for Blue- What did you do? I should think that as long as you weren't graphic about explaining, or perhaps put a trigger warning in the topic title if needs be, that it would be alright to say. I can relate to the guilt you've mentioned, and to the happy face; I think a lot of people...

Oh! I didn't know that, GP - thanks for telling me! I was getting a little sad about not being able to access it, lol. Well; Mum said she was going to talk to our local gp about getting an appointment to talk to someone, for both of us, because she's going through a bad time at the moment as well. ...

Hi~ My name's Froggy. I'm a girl (sorry, the name's kinda ambiguous on the gender front), seventeen, living in the UK. I feel a little out of place posting here, as so many here have been suffering from depression for such a long time; I feel very young. I've only suspected myself of suffering from...

My advice would be to get to know someone as a close friend before going any further, but that's just a personal feeling... It lets you get to know them, though, and establish a bond of trust. I don't have any fear of a relationship in itself, but I'm intensely scared of the physical side of relati...

Hi, Aim! I don't think we have met, I'm fairly new to the forums and the site in general. The pleasure's all mine! I'm trying my best, and I have been for a long time now... but I can't stick to her 24/7, and that's really the only way I'd stop worrying. I have tried to get her help, but so far peo...

I do recommend a good book... or sometimes, if I can immerse myself in schoolwork, that's great. Just reading the textbook and understanding something that I didn't yesterday gives a sense of acheivement, that can dispel a down phrase for a few hours. I think walking is good for you. Vitamin D from...

I can see why the word 'emo' would be very irritating to a lot of people who've lived with depression for a long time... Interestingly, the origination of the term is from teacher's notes. My father is a teacher, he told me this; it's often written in the margins of a register, beside a name of a c...

(((((((((georgiapeach))))))))) back I only really view my friend's suicide attempts as traumatic... I can't stop replaying them in my head. I do feel depressed, and I spent around three hours at school today just sitting on the floor of the toilet cubicle again; I hate letting people see me cry, or...

Mostly fictional things... It's ridiculous, really, I need to stop watching scary movies xD There's one frame of a zombie's face in 28 Days Later that gets me every time I look at a dark window. If I'm at home and it's quiet, or night time, I have to edge along with my back to the wall. I've spent ...

I guess the title sums it up in two words, but the explanation'll be pretty long; I wouldn't mind if you skipped it. I'm female, seventeen, living in the UK. I guess I've had a fair bit in my life; but up until now, I've just dealt with it. For several months now, however, I've suspected I have dep...

My name's Froggy. Well, okay, it's not; but I respond better to that than my real name, even in real life. xD I'm a 17-year-old girl from England, and I've been using the mIRC chatroom here for a while now, but thought I should join the forums as well. The people in the chatroom are all really, real...
