Hi I'm Josselyne, Nobody loves me, Everyone leaves, No one ever stayed by my side, I'm left alone. At the first opportunity of being loved I take it, I let myself down for some "love", he left me, I'm broken, dying, and all alone again. I'm insecure, fat, not good enough, I hate myself, worthless, and endless other bad things, I escape reading books but sometimes my reality doesn't dessapear and I need help but is hard to speak in the real world
Hello I'm Tiffany, I'm Seventeen and I suffer from extreme bipolar and depression. I've found myself attempting to take my life tonight due to a fight I had with my lover. I screamed and honestly laid my hands on him. I know that to some people it makes me look abusive and a mean person who doesn't deserve a thing. But give me a chance, there's more to this. In the past four years I've been raped, abused physically and mentally. I got a part of my happiness if not all of it taken away by the hurtful rumors they spread about me, how many 'friends' left my life.
I suffer daily. Sleep12 to 14 hours a day. No motivation. Isolate whenever possible.
Hi there!
You are not alone. We have been there and anyone can get there. You can do a very small positive step each day and with time you will see a huge difference.
I wrote some tools that have worked for me in a previous post. First one would be keeping a journal. Let us know again how you're doing. Hugs!
Hi, I also feel lonely and I want to make some friends, if you want you can write me! My name is Angie. I'm from Colombia.
Affectionate
I'm on the same path. I'm glad to have seen your post because it made me realize I'm not the only one who oversleeps and doesn't have the energy to do anything. You're not alone either.
Ive been there too, slept so much, being with people was a real effort. Reward yourself for the little things, it's still an achievement. Finding something worth working for or something that makes you smilecan pick up a little of your mood each time.
It can get better. Promice.
Hi I'm Ember. I've recently been through a rough patch which sort of sent me spiraling down into this void emptiness, and I'm doing my best to get through on a daily basis.
Hi, mi name is Angie. I'm from Colombia. I'm new. I feel really lonely and I guess I have a really bad depression. I'm not a fluid english speaker but I can try if someone wants to talk, I really want to make some conections and making some friends (it doesn't matter if they are online)

Hello everyone I am new here. I am here because there is nowhere else for me to go. I am depressed and I have a lot of suicidal thoughts. I never really tried to kill myself though thats why am here. I have a lot of friends but they dont have a clue since am always smiling and making them happy and telling jokes. I tend to hide from the world. Its sooo hard for me. I hide away in the school bathroom and eat my lunches, I never look in the mirror, and I cry so much. I cry everyday. Just to let go of some of the pain that I am going through. I hate my appearance, sometimes my friends tease me. Wherever I go I just have a feeling they are talking about me. But then who would talk about me? If I had a choice I would erase any trac of me on the earth, but I cant, so here I am. Thank you for being here for people like me.
Often depression makes us our own worst bully.
I had this horrible little voice on my shoulder that told me things like I was ugly, a horrible person, how dare I bother other people with my petty issues. That voice is not you, it's the depression. Hiding our feelings from people to try to make things easier makes it harder for them to help.It's ok to hurt, we cant help that. Letting someone in gives you backup, you are worth fighting for.You are more than the depression will let you think.
Finding that voice and shutting it up is a journey but not one we have to go though alone.
Hi, I'm Alyssa. I've been left in the dust and been alone for as long as I can remember, which was probably since sixth grade. I have been depressed for a long time I feel like. I don't feel many emotions nowadays because of the emotional repression. Honestly, I would just like someone to talk to from time to time to help me cope with my feelings so I don't end up doing something I regret. Thanks 😄
I'm 16 and I have depression as a side effect of my anxiety. It's terrible and I hate it and I want to curl up and disappear. I've always had it bus it's been really bad this winter. I've had to miss school and I can't to anything but cry in the fetal position. I don't self-harm, but I don't really know why because many times I'm willing to.
