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

@Skylarlovesdogs Our depression lies to us! We aren’t worthless but I totally know how you feel. I wish they knew how to cure depression and anxiety instead of just treating it. Maybe some day they will but not in my lifetime. Please message me anytime! I’m so lonely all day at home alone and I check this app constantly hoping for someone to chat with. I stay off Facebook and social media because I don’t want to be judged for what I’m going through. I’m here anytime.

I’m new here. I have cptsd, dysthymia, gad, am recovering from an eating disorder (doing well most days) and I have severe asthma, severe allergies (currently a rash in my throat), have had recurrent tonsillitis for six weeks, and my mother just completed six months of chemotherapy for a rare autoimmune disease that has her in kidney failure. It does not appear to have helped. She currently has an infection and edema. It’s understandable that my symptoms have worsened but I don’t know how to cope. I don’t really have a support system other than my therapist and psychiatrist. I’m irritable and judging myself today, on my only day off, while my daughter is with her dad. Because yes, I’m a single mom as well. It could be an enjoyable day. I could be cleaning and organizing and doing things I enjoy and instead I’m stuck in this burnout. Life is so hard. These last few years it has seemed to get even more difficult before other difficult seasons have ended.

Today I fell asleep in the afternoon, I rarely do that anymore since my father passed away. I guess I was overwhelmed by caring for my mother. Anyway, I don't remember my dream at all but in it somehow I heard my father's voice calling my name a couple of times then I woke myself up. I miss him so so very much, every single day. I'm feeling so sad. 😭😭😭

Today I also decided to make my will, not officially yet but it's a draft at the moment. I still have a lot of things to add in. I just feel like I should have all my affairs in order just in case anything happens to me...

I really hope that everyone is doing better than me...

I've just lost another person today who was like a family member. She died of liver cancer, a very painful death. It seems like the people around me are dying and I'm so scared, I feel all alone, hopeless and despair. I mean I know that it's a fact of life and that we're all going to die, it's just a matter of time but I just have this uncontrollable feeling of sadness and it's eating me inside. Today is another bad bad day for me.
