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

@spiritguide Her name is Sara, and when she got separated from her ex, she made a promise to me, her brother and her uncle and aunt, that she was focus to learn to love and live herself, and find herself, and she also said that she was going to focus on God and ask him to guide her in the right direction, and she said that she was going to do all of that. She promised her word.

She was separated for a month but less than a month later some random Venezuelan boy named Luis ran her talking about having a relationship with him. Already, on Valentines Day, a month after they ran into each other, she said that he gave her a balloon, some chocolates, a card and invited him to her house, and they stayed out until o’clock nothing. Then she went on talking Luis this, Luis that. Then every time something, she would mention Luis’s name and then she said that they were moving in together. Then I warned her about every-time but she wanted to play cry baby. Then unresponsive thing started, she would go a month without responding. Then October of 2019, I just found out that she had a baby by him, that messed my day up very badly. I remember going to the store that day, I was so angry and I made a scene in the store, the clerk was so concerned, and she asked me if I was alright. That night, I could not focus, and I’m still having depression and anger problems because of this

@spiritguide A couple of months ago, my blood pressure was high due to stress and anger. I took it out on my friends and love ones and lost a lot of friends because of this. Sometimes, I can’t focus or I will have severe meltdowns and I can’t sleep either.

Until someone wants to change , there is little one can do to change them . It's hard to watch this happen over and over to people you care about.

Your anger is a symptom of a greater problem . There is something you are a afraid of that is trying to make it through to the surface of your consciousness.

Let go of your anger. It is not doing you any good and making you sick. You are blessed with a strong spirit. It's time to face this fear.

I am here for you my friend. I believe in your ability to heal.

I was hoping I could talk for a second. I feel like I'm losing everyone important in my life and I'm not sure how to stop losing them. I'm getting so exhausted with life and I just want to feel important to those I love.

Marissa ,

Depression is exhausting. It is easy to become isolated from other people . You need to put yourself number one and do the things that can make your life easier . Eventually you will find new people to fill the void left by others .
