I know I'm probably late to the game, so to speak. But I understand everything people are feeling in this forum. I recently joined to seek help as well, as I have no friends or family to rely on anymore. Honestly, if I'm allowed to put my own opinion out there, depression is a demon long-fought that sneaks in at all the wrong times. You think you've managed to get ahead, and then suddenly, there it is, waiting for you. However, I would really like to help people with this and talk to them about it, so, I offer up my shoulder. Thank you for listening.

I feel you Liz. When I first struggled with depression it was because my wife died of breast cancer in my arms on Christmas day 1988. I tried being an alcoholic, but my metabolism wouldn't let me get drunk enough to get rid of the pain. How I got out of it then was to go to grief counseling. Even after 32 years, I'm still living with depression (new reasons, but familiar feelings) and every Christmas it still really gets bad, but the grief counseling helped to teach me how to cope with it enough to move on with my life after my loss. Surely your mother wouldn't question your need to seek grief counseling. Besides talking about your grief with her might not be a bad thing. She may be grieving too.

@Hidden username I'm new here also and I've been going through pretty much the same thing for over 10 years and sometimes I also wish I had someone to talk to but at the same time I don't know if I could get it out without bursting into tears! I also think it might be a pride or ego thing? I had 8 older brothers growing up and they said if I cried they would give me something to cry about so my whole life I always tried to hold in my feelings and my tears but it caught up with me cause now I'm very emotional and at times I find tears coming down my face just explaining things sometimes and I get very embarrassed and don't come around people for awhile fearing it'll happen again. I don't really have any friends just acquaintances and I feel like I'm faking it till hopefully I make it? But for me just even getting this off my chest on here is helping me some. Lol i apologize for rambling on

I was hoping for a response or a conversation but it's par for the course? Seems like no one is listening or cares

@Meeglayclena738 Hello Jackson1,
Thanks for contributing to the conversation and sharing your experience. It sounds like you've gone through a lot of painful experiences. Feel free to continue to share how you feel here on the forums. Sometimes it's good just to let your feelings out in writing.
Hopefully, you'll have some replies soon. Other members are likely feeling down too and may take a bit to respond.
Take care,
Lee

Yes, I now saw your problem, but unfortunately I could not see any more or less suitable solution for your situation. Apparently, you are starting to have a deep depression, and one of the best ways to get out of this state is considered to be high-quality cannabis from a dispensary.
