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

@smpdrew those dark roads sound all to familiar to me. Just this last week was the anniversary of my best friend passing away...that person was also my sister. she drank herself to death because she couldn't cope with her struggle. I have dealt with alcohol addiction for years now. And my only word of advice would be, you keep waking up for a reason, whatever that reason is, the universe has a funny way of showing us that. That reason is why we want to try without knowing deep and buried inside that we want to try...even when in our minds we can see that we are tired. Just keep walking forward, and eventually you will get there

@eap10392 I am sorry to hear your fiancé treats you that way. Are things any better now?

I am struggling with my relationship with my girlfriend. It is so complex......I'm at my wits end. Despite my best efforts, it has gotten worse over time. There's mental illness involved, recovery from addiction, medication transition, international relocation......so many things. I'm so overwhelmed and nothing I do makes anything better....nothing I stop doing helps. Please help

@Lee__R I would really like someone to talk too. I feel all alone and have a lot going on.

I just feel so overwhelmed emotionally. Nothing seems alright in my world. To the outside, I have a perfectly good life. I have decent family and home and I’m in college. I don’t appear to have anything wrong in my life, and yet, my existence has become a growing black hole. Every day it’s getting worse. I don’t want to get up anymore. I look outside and only feel dread. I think about my day’s activities and want to die. I already feel dead inside. Every emotion I have is so intense, that if I feel things any stronger I think I might explode. I feel as if I might bleed to death with how much pain I feel. All of the darkness in my life exists inside me, and I don’t know how to cope, how to go on living. I am completely alone. No one understands and I can’t talk to them about how I feel, because they will only look at me with disbelief at the ungrateful way I see my life. I am drowning. I don’t know who else to turn to or how to find the strength to go on alone. I just need something, a sign, someone to tell me how to keep going or why I should.

I know I’m a little late for this discussion. but I’ve suffered through trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, plus more. And I would really like someone to talk to. I don’t want to go down another bad path. But I’m also open if someone else needs to vent
