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

I feel like there's more than one person in me. I want to let them out but I'm afraid I'll be deemed as crazy. I know they want to speak their mind but I don't know how to let them out. I've been feeling this for awhile but it's gotten worse recently. I really want to know what's wrong with me.

I don’t really know how this works so I hope I’m posting the right way. I have bad social anxiety which keeps me from making friends. I work from home so I live a pretty isolated life. I eat well, I try hard to exercise and get sunlight. I function much better than I used to but I still feel very lonely and I feel like I’m watching everyone else do things that I feel I cannot do with their friends and loved ones. I don’t understand how I got here at 27 having no support because being around people is so internally exhausting that I push them away

I can relate to that some people can be overwhelming and can be a lot .. I can be one of those people that can be alot so I tend to stay in the outside of things .. I can be a little too honest and outgoing and not alot  of people like that at all

My mom ranted to me about how I have a 60 in art when I have a 100. She's complaining that I don't submit things on time after I've said multiple times that online school fucked me over so much and in-person school was better, but "there's a pandemic". There's a thing called a mask. I don't speak to people at school unless I know them normally. All I do is mind my business. Always starting a fuss over her own problems. Now I have to do make-up work because I couldn't focus from too much freedom with in-person school to do whatever I wanted when I tried to restrain myself from it. There was no reason to deny my many requests. I tried to tell her and warn her about what would happen because I know myself and my own work ethic and how I can basically bullshit all the answers and watch a movie in every class and not learn anything but no. I can do literally anything, and nobody would know. There's an amount of freedom that I like myself to have right now. I don't want enough freedom where I can sleep in every single class and not do anything to better myself. But I want enough to where I am constantly reminded, and half helped towards finishing whatever I have to do. That's what in-person school does for me. I'm in school, so I remember all the shit I have to do, and I actually get it done. Online school, I can just mute the tab and forget about it until I already missed 2 other classes. I got removed from my first class because I didn't respond to the teacher because I forgot I was in class. I'm tired of saying shit and it going ignored when I know it could benefit me.

I am new here and need someone to talk to.   I am feeling very lonely and out of options.  I have no friends and except for a couple of family members to talk to.   I have a child with health issues and a wife.  My child sometimes has behavior issues and sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night to play.  We need to monitor him so he does no destroy things.  My wife still makes me get up to watch him even though I work a hard job.  When he has bad behaviors or his throwing things, it makes me sad because that is not the child I envisioned having growing up to have and sometimes go off to cry.   When I do that, my wife says I am being a baby when its my depression from everything.   She says I use that as a cruch but it is how I feel with no friends or family.   That is why somedays I just want to kill myself as that is sometimes the only way out of this.

I can relate to that I have a 3 year old doughter doughter she’s is always on the move .. she has really bad night terrors.. she wakes up at night at least 3 times a week crying and scared like she’s still asleep and there’s nothing I can do besides trying to comfort her but she don’t let anyone touch her or get close to her .. it’s hard to have to sit there and not to be able to anything about it … I made videos showed doctors but haven’t gotten any good advice from any of them .. somtimes I’ll hold her while she’s screaming and throwing herself back and looking around and it scares me and makes me feel helpless as a father cuz I can’t protect her from this or make it go away
