@spiritguide - yes, quite a bit actually. My therapist is having me get re-evaluated which terrifies me, thinking I will end up as inpatient again. This would be the 3rd year in a row.

Some times it takes a while to find the right medication . It did for me . Don't be terrified . Be hopeful . Everything will be ok .
If you need my help , write me at spiritguided1961@gmail.com

@spiritguide Thank you!

I don’t feel like I’m loved enough or like I get the attention I need. I feel like everyone invalidates my feelings and nobody cares

If you can learn to love yourself like you want from others , you are halfway there .

@spiritguide Yeah, you’re right. I’m trying. I have a friend that I tried to tell that but she went on another route. She’s the main reason why I'm on here

Good for you ! It's not easy at first but gets easier over time . I want you all to know that I have been through the ringer when it comes to mental illness. If it's happening to you , it's happened to me . Never feel ashamed to talk about anything . I am here for you .

Hello Carenity Members,
I have seen in thedepression forums that there are many posts about people needing someone to talk to/listen to and feeling of overwhelemed with life or facing depression for various reason
I have created this discussion group and PINNED it so that it will remain at the top for people to do several things:
1) Those needing someone to talk to, can briefly state what they are struggling with - their situation - and that they would like to talk with someone.
2) Those who would like to listen/talk to someone else, can then private message that user directly and begin a conversation.
or
3) Those who have either overcome their depression to an extent or just really want to help and listen can also comment and say just that - basically offering themselves to be contacted.
I hope this helps open the communication and organize the forum as well. I think peer support is essential, especialy when in our own lives, perhaps we feel blocked out.
As always, there is the general forum for any and all other discussions.
If situation is very bad, please know your life is important and reach out to a medical professional or call Crisis Hotline at 1-800-273-8255
Thank you,
Lee__R
