Where ARE the people with depression?

...See more I have depression. And there are so many people writing in this "depression" category on 7Cups. I see so many people on other platforms too. We all face similar struggles. I am also glad to have found a few channels in which people genuinely wish each other well and give each other support. Despite this I feel completely lonely battling this depression thing on any level that is not online. Where are all the depressed people in real life? It seems like wherever I go I am surrounded by people just bragging. Are those people that shallow? It seems like no one around me ever had to deal with anything serious in their lives and they all just walk around and live easily up to the standards of the amazing person they are on their social media. Or do they? I am also pretty stealth when I walk around. So I find myself looking at people in the supermarket, thinking to myself - Maybe that guy actually has depression...Or that lady, or that other girl -.

...See more The bummer is that they have you believe that taking "the first step" is going to change everything and oh you've been so brave for reaching out and all that. The truth is after months of therapy and stupid antidepressants things can keep going just as bad or worse, worse. And THEN you are really desperate.

...See more There has been so little joy in my life over the last years. Lately, everyday is painful. I see no point in living further. Living is exhausting. I wish I was not waking up tomorrow.

The Haircut

...See more I look at myself in the mirror and I loathe what I see. I don't know when this happened, but at some point I stopped being young and I started looking like a middle aged person. My hair defines me so much. It's wavy and bushy but now it's also gray and I haven't had a haircut in one and a half years. If I lived in the jungle, my image would suit me. I think that there is room for improvement and for a split second this thought gets me going. I start thinking that it's a matter of self maintenance. I start thinking that if I was getting a haircut I would look healthy again. And I keep thinking and thinking and thinking. I have planned going for a haircut for months. But going out of the house is hard. Spending over an hour at a hairdresser is just impossible. Of course there have been attempts where I cut my own hair, and that was a disaster. I'll plan again tomorrow. And again the day after. And all the days that follow.

...See more Living seems too hard today. I love many people but I cannot take care of them now. My bed is comfortable and I will stay here. I have no energy. All those who bother me can go to hell. This platform is nice but the app sucks.

Pattern

...See more I am new to this community. I came here tonight because I feel isolated. Right now I am going through a rough period but in truth I realize I never went past my last rough period, nor the one before. For several years now, there has been a specific pattern in my life. Things don't go well, things reach a dead end. I am depressed and hopeless for a while but I manage to get up and I make big changes in my life. For a couple of months there is excitement and hope. However, soon enough, I end up in the same situation and it's depression all over again. Currently I am dealing with a job that I hate, an evil and toxic environment. I have relocated several times and now I find myself alone in a city that I don't like that much and far away from my family. On top of this, I developed chronic migraine and I live in constant pain. I am taking care of all these aspects the best way that I can: I have a therapist and a neurologist. But sadly enough, not may people to talk to. So this is what brought me here tonight. Hello everyone.
