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.

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’m sorry feeling alone I understand completely it’s hard when your feeling that way I get that way at times and my mind goes into so crazy places and thoughts I know how it feels to not be held down with anyone or have a hold on things it will get better and just remember your not alone hope you feel better

I need help myself. I completely know how you feel im alone. 56 yo. My kids are all gone as of next week. Last one leaving fir college. I am crying nonstop. I have no family or friends. Im only in this state bc i had my kids here but then divorced. I stayed (im from Detroit) in IL to raise them where they are familiar. But I never made friends. Last relationship 6 yrs. Ago. I havent worked for a few years getting unemployment. One of my sons split the rent but hes leaving. He left yesterday to live with his gf. My 18yo off to college next week. I will be alone. I cant go back to my home state bc my kids are still in this state and will visit. But I am really really not empty nesting well. I cant stop crying. Im filled with dread and fear. I feel like a total loser. Im thinking of going to get liquor but afraid it will get me really depressed. I havent slept. Im having panic attacks. I understand your turmoil! Can someone talk to me? Thanks. Sorry

Sorry your having such a hard time with empty nest I have been divorced so I can understand a little about that I know you think your alone and I’m sure it seems that way but your not the alcohol might help for a few minutes if you could get something from your doctor for sleep I think that would help cause it does for me I know it’s easier said than done if you have music you like it might help that’s my number one right now but I do hope you can get some rest please be careful and safe out there ok
