What do I do…
Depression Support / by prettyweirdgirl
Last post

...See more I've struggled with depression for a long time, and sometimes it can get pretty bad. The last time it was this bad was about exactly this time two years ago. I met my boyfriend in September last year, and he is one of the sweetest most caring people I have ever met. I truly love him. I am starting to be conflicted because I have been having a really hard time recently, feeling very down and over it and just genuinely angry everyday. I open up to my boyfriend about the things I struggle with, and he is usually very supportive. But recently, he has mentioned how draining it is to always be "taking care of me". How he wants nothing more than for me to be happy, but he feels like I do nothing to try and be happy. It is confusing and also hurtful to me because while I don't want to be a burden to him, I also feel unseen in my efforts to be okay everyday. I don't want to make his life harder by being upset, but I also don't want to make my own life harder by keeping my feelings to myself in an attempt to seem happy. I don't want to hide my feelings and deny my reality, but I also don't want to be abandoned because of it. I really don't know what to do because I fear my depression getting worse by keeping it hidden but I also fear more than anything losing the one person I really love.

I don’t know what I’m doing

...See more I’ve struggled with SH in the past but today was one of the worst instances. I’ve had a hard week and a big argument with someone close to me set me over the edge today. I was home alone, a few months ago I threw out my stash of blades and sharp things, but today I went searching the entire house for anything I could find. I found a pocket knife and had to be pretty rough with it because it was dull, and after I rubbed alcohol on it. It scared me the way I stormed the entire house desperately, it was like I had just lost control and I didn’t know what I was doing. And even acknowledging the fact that it freaked me out, I still wanted more. Nobody in my life knows I cut myself sometimes, I’ve never told a soul. I’m not even sure that I want to stop. I just hurt so bad everyday and I don’t know what else I can do to make it better.
