Depression Understood Forums

After so much loss and grief, tragedy, trauma, and my own mistakes, I have overwhelming emotional pain and also live with difficult physical pain much of the time....without the ability to get real treatment and having spent much previous time in treatment with little progress, I seem to be getting ...

(((((((Obay))))))) So glad and proud of you that you stood up to him and for yourself! Sorry you fell and are hurting. Have missed you in the chatroom and hoping we can catch up sometime. Will pm you my phone number if you want to call. Love you sis.

((((((((((Obayan))))))))))))) big big hugs sister. This holiday season was difficult for me too, but from the sound of it, not as brutal as yours. I am trying to accept for myself, and so as I give this advice to you know I'm not there yet either...people in our lives come and go. Some hurt us, othe...

(((((((((warmie and tacking)))))))))) are so right, you did so much good, and I hope you take some comfort in that... I am NOT a therapist or doctor, so I can't diagnose you, but speaking as someone who suffers from PTSD, have you talked to a mental health professional about these calls that play ov...

In addition to my own mistakes, failings, and defects....I have been a victim of forces well beyond my control, be they earthly or metaphysical. In the scheme of things, I am a nobody, in a nowhere town, with no money, no power, no influence, mentally ill and seemingly broken beyond repair. I am an ...

((((((((((((obayan)))))))))))))) so so sorry you are going through so much. Thinking of you. SSI is for people who have not worked or worked enough to have paid into the system through FICA. SSDI/social security is for those who have worked and paid into the system and you collect based on number of...

((((((((((((warmie))))))))))((((((((((((sister obayan)))))))))))) love to you both!!!!! both strong fine women who show courage in face of adversity and compassion growing from much suffering. In Victor Frankyl's "Man's search for meaning" he describes people who in the midst of a concentr...

((((((((Obayan))))))))) I am feeling a bit of relief today, although somewhat in brain fog still. One good thing that came out of this recent nightmare, i remembered something. I was tested one time and they said I was borderline schizoid, which was described as sort of like autism. That makes total...

Things have deteriorated significantly. I was asked to sit again and this time I don't think I can do it because of this crisis, I can't take care of someone else right now, I am worried I won't do a good job, start hearing voices again, and won't even be able to drive when needed. Everything feels ...

I sooo identify with your situation. It seems depression and procrastination and sloth all go together....it makes us so lethargic...and I don't know about you, but I know for me when I finally get close to doing something, anything, then I get paralyzed by anxiety! Losing a job and being out of wor...

I traveled down a graveled country road my journey arduous and heavy the load dust fills my nostrils heavy the weight upon my back my trials were many and deep the ache for all I lack you loved me once sunsets long ago, truth or belie? tears twinkle as evening falls and darkness whispers across nigh...

May I share a personal story with you that your predicament reminded me of? A few years ago I was volunteering for a political campaign, and had gone outside to (shamefully, i know its bad) smoke. A man was passing by and asked if I had an extra cigarette, so I offered him one and we talked while we...

Well couldn't get to sleep last night and when finally did had bad, disturbing dreams and things have gone downhill from there. My little a/c unit is sputtering in the 100+ degree temps and keeps dying and knocking out power on that outlet. I have tured it off, which i did when it did that yesterday...

Had a bad few nights with bad dreams, had trouble getting to sleep last night, but when I finally did got great sleep with no bad dreams yay! Sitting job last night ended early and so got to come home but with full pay yay! Sitting for the blind elderly lady she was talking about her blindness, and ...

Dear (((((((((Warmie)))))))) I was joking, albeit apparently unsuccessfully!!!!!! There was a female comedian who had an ongoing gag about her imaginary boyfriend talking about him in interviews...I thought it was so funny, I have used that gag since... I'm real too, used to spend too much time dayd...
