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

Definitely depression. I can kind of fake my way through depression but there's no way to fake your way through a panic attack

Dear Dawn and DVds,

I really appreciate your offering. It's really nice to know that we look after each other here because I can't really talk to anyone at home. No one understand how I feel. However, I don't want to make anyone feels stressed and depressed over my life stories. I just need to vent it out and this is the only place that I can express my true feelings because my life seems to be running out of hope and love. The most important person in my life, my mother has been admitted to hospice and I'm dying inside as I was signing all the paperwork. I just want to die with her and I pray for that. I'm not being weak but it just meaningless living without my mother... I'm very sorry everyone but I only have bad news to share.

I had to sign the paperwork to take her off all of her machines and medications because she was not going to get better. I still think about it all the time even though that was her wishes. I feel guilty and horrible every single day

@Dawn0695 I’m sorry hear about your mom. I lost all of my people, my dad died 10 years ago, my sister died 7 years ago and my moms, a year later. And my best friend, was dishonest with me.
