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

Dear lostphoenix

You have a lot going on in your life..I will pray for you..and if you need to talk I will be available.  I am a Social Worker and I can feel your pain.   First your husband needs to support you and the new baby.  It takes two to make a baby and he was totally involved.  Also, you gave your all in helping to raise his kids..now he has isssues with your baby..totally not fair or mature.  You were there for him in good and bad days now he needs to man up...Also you might want to consider saving your money and leaving him.   If he cannot support you when you need him..what good is he...You are young smart and eduacated..you can find another man.   Also try to think about pleasing you and taking care of your needs.   You seem to be totally available for everyone but your self.   Take it easy..dont stress so much..find a support person..focus on taking care of your health and sanity and the new baby..Your hubby sounds very immature and selfish..If he did not want kids..why not a vascectomy...He needs to grow up and be more responsible and stop blamming you for everything.  I will be praying for you and your health..You can do this...Hang in there...

Hang in there girl life and love are two of the hardest things to deal with let alone kids I have 5 well 4 my youngest son passed away shortly after birth all while lousing my older ones to the state because of their father beating me and doing drugs in front of them but I got pregnant with my youngest daughter and smartened up a little bit and got a second chance to be the mom I am ment to be I left a 16 year abusive relationship and it made me feel better but there's the space that a man or what most wemen think a man needs to fill is what I think just a spot for more friends and positive vibes I don't know if you're in this sort of thing but I use healing crystals and stones and find that they do bring piece of mind and helps me to center myself and just feel better. If you like I can help you find some sort of thing you can use to feel centered and surrounded by clearing the negitive energy from around you. And sorry for the spelling I have learning disability.  Hope to hear from you soon and keep positive 🤗🤗🤗💪☮️☯️

I survived a 6yr relationship with verbal abuse mental abuse that turned violent. I know it is very difficult to leave. Best advice is get ready save make your plan. Keep it to yourself. Get your ducks in a row and pick right opportunity. And don’t ever go back no matter what they say or do.

My depression has been an ongoing battle since elementary school but I didn't receive treatment or a diagnosis till high school. Im now in college and the doctors have said I have treatment-resistant major depressive disorder, I just got out of inpatient where they stabilized my meds and now that I'm home I feel like I can't handle the outside world, I liked the bubble I was in at the hospital with the constant structure and support (not that I want to go back). I just feel so overwhelmed by everything right now and really alone.

I live alone and work alone, and I crumble every day without human interaction. I don't care who you are, I just need another human being to connect with! We humans need each other.

I feel like I’m dead inside and I was called weak minded by my significant other because I suffer from depression and bad thoughts. He also said he wouldn’t want to be with a woman that’s weak minded and idk how to take that.

Hi my name is Jessica. I am depressed, I’ve been depressed since middle school. Tried committing suicide 2 and almost succeeded 1. I feel like people use me and leave me. Right now I’m in a relationship. He is the most patient and understanding man I’ve ever met. With my horrible past of cheaters I feel like he might be one too. I hate this so much. I just need someone to talk to and help me be better.
