Depression Understood Forums

The thing about depression is it takes a of a lot of things away from you.

Depression is like being in jail and depression is the prison guard.... that need for survival you can't find it anym...

Tonight I took one of my favorite blanket shaws and I set there in the quiet semi darkness and watched the blue and silver and white fog envelop everything around me swirling and churning in a comforting blanket under the misty moon.... The other morning I think I saw Heaven. I talk so much about su...

When I first started coming on this site I never thought that I would stay so long , or that I would write this much or that it would even impact me that much at all. I didn't have anywhere else in the whole world to turn to. Nobody understood my depression not even my own mother who is my very best...

I got some news today. My father isn't doing very well. He's been sick for a long time with his heart but a visit at the doctor today said that he doesn't have much time left. Today I sat there watching the clouds rolling in the sky feeling so helpless and all alone. Even though I knew my dad hasn't...

Nothing in the whole entire world hurts more than to believe that dying is the only option out of something. Believe me I have been there. But always remember this depression is a liar. It lies to you and tells you that there is no other option. the fact that you came here and have the " help m...

Thank you Unstable1. I know what you mean about the falling asleep fear. I've had that myself a few times too. I don't want someone who promises me the moon and stars I just want someone who will lay on the grass and watch them with me ... I seen that expression once and it describes exactly how I f...

Sometimes when I'm sitting outside in my " positive seat " I'll look up at the dark , night sky full of stars and I think about how the entire universe sits right there above me. All the planets , the stars , the heavens and how epic and amazing it is to be sitting out there underneath the...

How ironic is life ? Fighting like hell to beat depression and you finally do beat it only to realize that your physical illness takes you down. But I guess it's okay because we are all put on this earth only for a little while. The only thing is you never know when or who will be the next to be the...

Thank you CurryKidNick. I love to read and I promise that I will check that book out. You can call me Star like a star in the night sky. That's my nickname. I haven't been able to see the stars in the night sky for the last few nights. Every time I look up they are always covered in clouds. I guess ...

While sitting outside in the dark at my positive seat one of my favorite things to do is squint my eyes and search way off in the distance passed the hills and trees to the highway across the creek. I love watching the headlights of the vehicles. Sometimes huge, massive long trucks with lights from ...

I haven't written much because I've been struggling pretty bad. It's been a hard road walking with depression and physical health issues. Tonight I went outside when it got dark and set down at my positive seat. It was a nice kinda of night the kind of night with lots of wind that blows all around a...

What happens to the people who feel like the forgotten ones ? The ones that face the world thinking that your pain never mattered ? You try to call out for help but no one is listening. And the constant battle you have to keep holding on rages inside you. Do you give up ? Do you hold on ? Its a ques...

They say don't be afraid to tell your story because you never know who out there may need your light or your courage. Earlier last evening the puzzle pieces pattern in the sky that I seen a long time ago were back. I love how the sky is always changing. ,,, When I went back out later big puffy white...
