Depression Understood Forums

Hello. I've tried reading some of the other posts to figure out what to say, but somehow I still don't think I'm gonna be articulate. I guess I'm here to find people I can relate to. I have friends, but no one that really can understand (or maybe even wants to understand what I'm going through). I feel really overwhelmed all of the time and sometimes I just wish that everything would stop or that I could just give up, but I'm hoping that maybe if I start talking to people who are/have experienced these feelings, maybe I won't feel so alone.

Hi nickeldime and welcome to the forum. I am not sure anyone ever really understands what someone else is feeling, but hopefully a friend is someone who simply allows you to feel and makes you feel safe and secure with those feelings.

Please check out our chat room here as well. Chat is another resource for a person to meet others who might have similar experiences and exchange information. I hope you keep posting and again, we welcome you, hugs
