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 hate my life at the moment, too. What are we going to do, Sadgirl84? We can't just keep living like this. I really wish there was a cure for all of us here because it's just not fair that we feel depressed every day. We all deserve to live a good life like everyone else... How come God doesn't love us???

@2ndchance I think we just have to keep fighting. Every day is a battle but we get through. I’m working on getting my meds right. It’s already been 3 months and this bout of depression is still going. How about you? Are you taking meds? I wish there was a cure too. I’m not sure why we had to be the ones to fight this fight. But god does love us and will see us through as he has in the past. Keep fighting and hang in there!

@Ilovemycatozzy What meds do you take? This is so unfair that we have to deal with this everyday all day. I’m so broken and tired. I’m done fighting! I’m done trying med after med. Meds aren’t going to change my life or change the way I feel about certain situations. I use to be a happy person, or so I thought. But I guess I was just covering up my mental illness by self medicating with other things. And now I’m not doing that anymore and my life seems unbearable. Which is stupid because I don’t really have a reason to be this depressed. I guess I’m just disappointed in myself and my life choices that have got me to where I am today. Having a child with a piece of shit who disappeared out of his life when he was 3. I love my kid but I never wanted one. And that’s something that I can’t change now and I live with the guilt every single day. And I don’t work so I can’t even support myself or my kid. I hate myself and wish I could go back in time and change a lot of things. All I can do it keep shoving meds down my throat to try and get by day by day. I feel like my life is over. I see no future anymore. God please take the pain away! Please!

@Ilovemycatozzy I was in a abusive relationship for 13 years! You probably have some PTSD from it. I know I do. You’re so young to feel this way. How is your life at home? You can inbox me if you want.
