Hi There!

If you clicked on this thread, I'm assuming it's because the title seemed to apply to you. This is a passage I found from when i was depressed. I thought it would be interesting to post, and hopefully some of you will be able to identify with what I wrote during one of the worst spells of my depression. CHEERS!

My depression was taking over me. I was wearing a mask that only i could take off. It was excruciating, and with every fake smile i felt my integrity drifting away, piece by piece. Sometimes I couldn't breathe. Sometimes it wasn't worth trying to breathe. when someone dropped a nice word by my way all i could think was "that's a lie". I knew i was being much too mean to myself, but I didn't deserve any better. when your lung feel heavy and liquid, and you have unseeing, unwilling eyes. when you are able to hear but don't feel like listening anymore. That's when you know that it's depression. That's when you know it's got you. That's when i feel like i should give up. When all you have to say about you own situation is "I'm fine" and when you start lying to even yourself. That's when you know that It's hit you. And i felt, and still feel so very alone in this world. Nobody walking besides me, ghosts screaming from my past, and only specters of lost dreams in my seemingly futile future.

After my recovery, I realised how very wrong i was when i wrote this passage, and found my new favorite quote -

you may feel lonely but you are never alone

(sorry for the rainbow explosion, heh.) If you ever want to talk, I'm Always Just A PM Away

@NewRomantic677 I think you just described what I felt myself, when I was depressed, perfectly- that overwhelming sense of feeling lost, drifting, despair and just mental exhaustion. It's comforting to know it wasn't just me, but I adore that last quote. There's definitely always someone. somehow. Thank you for reminding me. AND I'm just a PM away too hun~ find me anytime ❤️

In this techie world communication hits zero among people who are in the same room, building, home. You feel lonely when u have ppl around but no one to talk to. I never relied on internet, but forced to as no one has the time to lift their heads off the mini screen... I was depressed as i had so many friends and none qualified to even talk to. Busy busy life. I love this site and i could find people to listen at least... and i found someone who could understand the real depth of what i feel and so i really feel good. My intense anger and reaction to silly things is less now as i dont feel lonely. I know can come here and share.
