Depression Understood Forums

Thank you for writing ShyGirlHolly. Some people don't know how to handle illness in others. They don't understand and their not knowing scares them. Try talking with your friend again. If she is your friend she will have kept your secret and will welcome the chance to learn more about what is causin...

The money isn't yours. Keeping it is catamount to stealing and has nothing to do with your suicidal thoughts. You know this or you wouldn't have posted. Give the money back and chat with some people on DU. You'll feel better.

What do you expect to be able to do? The depression and memories of what causes it belong you your daughter. When she wants to rise above the pain and torment she will. Your daughter, in my opinion, should be hospitalized for her depression. I believe her daughter should be taken away from her until...

dvaccaro012, please talk with your friends one-on-one, if possible, and tell them what is going through your mind when you upset them. They may not understand what you tell them but they will appreciate better who you are. Now, talk with your preacher, priest, etc. and fully explain what is happenin...

Meloncholic Anchovy, does it matter if the human race isn't around for as long as the dinosaurs? What do you mean by around? Do you KNOW that human beings aren't modern day dinosaurs? Einstein, a pretty smart man, said energy could not be created or consumed. We run on energy, with electrical impuls...

Bunny you don't have any choice except to go to ANY church and explain to the deaccon/pastor/minister/rabbi/etc. what you are living through. The person you speak with shouldn't care what you think of religion or God. S/he should see your pain and need and react to same. TALK WITH SOMEONE. You can't...

DaemonOfLowell, I like what you offered.

_Ihatethislife/:, stop thinking like you are. Of course you can continue. You are as strong as you need to be with our support. You aren't alone. Repeat that to yourself over and over, I am not aone, I am not alone, I am not alone. Chat with one of us. Read through some of the postings if you can to...

jts9024 you have to talk to a proessional, imemi directs you to a helping place. Please go there and find help. You can also read through some of the posts here to see others have the similiar to you and they can offer support. You are not alone as long as you can type.

May I suggest eddie1 that you stop using the term "rumoring" to describe your episodes? Titles do little more than slow us down and give us something to hide behind. Use an emotion based word (scared, thoughts of forboding, etc.) Your friend, IMO, has to go. She is a very disruptive force ...

Awkward, most people don't care. Why should they? Most people have no idea what you're living with or the challenges you meet every day. That's why this site exists. Hopefully, by chatting with some of these members you will find the support and caring you desire. May I suggest you read about us and...

Welcome to this gentle, supportive site. I suggest you browse through the posting and then join us in chatting. I'm sure you'll find people with experiences with which you can relate.

Welcome eviejay to a supportive environment. May I suggest you browse through some of the postings, especially New Member Introductions, to get a feel for who we are, who you can best relate to, etc. Then try chatting.

Hi Pluto and Dag welcome to this safe and supportive environment. Hope to see you chatting.

Tough position you find yourself in but one that is too common, sadly. My mother, who was a drunk and sexual abuser always talked that way when I would try to get her to confront her drinking or abuse of me. Dear old dad, also a drunk, loved mum and could see no problems. When I had pulled my mother...
