New To The Depression Support Community! Introduce Yourself Here!

Hi all, great support group. After my DUI in Mar 2014 life became challenging as the breadwinner. Savings has gone to rent, my family Thanksgiving celebration at Disney was canceled (I live in FL). I had another nice career job but during the 90 day probation my lawyer said take the DUI. No one hurt or cars wrecked a simple tap and I refused to blow. Than recanted and they would not let me at that point. Sad story because someone googled me and told my boss about DUI and Board of Directors decided to let me go during probationary period. Just sad ...wife of 14 years of a best friend to literally moving back home and packing the kids, because zero income...She is acting out and just venting. 1st TG alone with friends, I hurt and it sux. She wants a divorce calls me a loser....I provided 14 years in different roles as the bread winner and never wanted anything. I'm a super humble guy that bought her her stuff. she took 5 years off work with my first son. ...never anything and now a divorce..very sad... but will stay positive through outlets like you all. I told her to take everything so the kids have their environment. I'll restart. Thank you for letting me share.

Hello. I found 7cupsjust by googling "I need someone to talk to".
I've been going through a lot and due to it all my depression is just getting worse. I just need somewhere to vent and open ears, eyes and hearts sometimes so I'm giving 7cupsa try.

Hi. New here too. I've never been told by a Dr. I have depression but I'm sure i do. As well as anxiety. Truthfully I've never even talked about what I think/feel till I found this place. I just don't feel like I have anyone I'm comfortable enough with or trust enough to talk with it about. Hope I can make some friends here who understand.

New here. Had major depression 11, and now I don't think I fully recovered. I think I just got used to it. Tired of holding it in. Also tired of burdening friends of family with it.

Hi, I've had depression since around 13 or 14. I find the winter especially hard, like many people, but I don't have the money to go to therapy and I'm not sure I find it all that effective anyway. So, I thought I'd try 7 cups of tea!

Hey everyone! I'm new here, but I absolutely LOVE this website so far! Very helpful.

A few things about me: I'm an 18 year old girl, I love animals, politics, shopping, being with my family, andI'm obsessed with Eminem (his music helps me through just about everything).

Inoticed a couple months ago that I am depressed. I just recently started college and it's been a huge transition for me. I haven't made many friends and I'm usually alone, so it's been hard (especially because I'm also introverted). But, I'm trying to get through it as best as I can! I'm hoping to talk to new people on this website and try to understand depression more, since I'm "new" to it. I'm hoping I'll get back to being my old self again sometime in the future.

Hi I've suffered with depression for a year or so and hit crisis point recently, on higher dosage medication, today is my second day of feeling ok but I'm scared of the down to come again

Hello everyone.

My name is Jasmine and I've been dealing with depression as long as I can remember. I think it all started in middle school due to the fact I would get bullied everyday.

My life has not been at all easy and I have dealt with many obstacles that honestly have traumatized me but the only thing that has gotten worse was my depression. There are weeks where I can laugh and I'll be okay but then the next day I'll wake up and everything will be in black and white. I don't understand and it makes me so frustrated that there isn't anything I can do about this. Not only does this make me frustrated, but it makes my family frustrated as well.

I don't have many friends, and if I do then they live far away from me. My boyfriend is the only person who is patient with me and understands. Everyone else gets frustrated or calls me weak and berates me for not being strong enough.

That's pretty much it.

Hi :) I have dealt with anxiety/depression for over 20 yrs....I am really mentally worn out from it. I am tired of dealing with it and I have been thru just about every med there is and nothing works anymore. I hate the way my mind works for the most part. I have went thru many relationships and all I can say is that my problems effect everbody that is around me. I am also an introvert which can be a bad thing too...I am not suicidal but I am not enjoying life like I want to be. My happy moods last a few hours a day then later at night the anxiety kicks in (like right now)
