First time
I’ve just recently starting dealing with depression in the past couple months. I’ve never felt so alone in my life. This is my first time trying to get help. I’ve never thought it would get as bad as it has. Every other days a struggle and I just don’t think I can take it becoming a struggle everyday.

@Rnvalk you are not alone.
It's good you reached out as all of us here understand how you feel.
A month of suicidal thoughts is a lot of strain and pain. I have just been through very intense one in January when I joined here.
As soon as I started having such thoughts I did the following and thankfully February was better so far and am on new medication :
- informed therapist of thoughts
- called crisis line when it was getting too difficult
-made an appointment with psychiatrist to review medication
-joined 7 cups and found support
-Informed close friends
Everyone of us finds different ways to cope but once you feel this way I hope you at least have a therapist support.
If you feel low please contact the crisis centre - to me it was helpful as it calmed me.
Take good care of yourself

Welcome Rnvalk,
I understand how you're feeling. I know it's difficult having those thoughts daily. I understand how alone you feel. I'm sorry you're feeling this way I now it's not easy. I'm glad you have reached out for help on 7 cups. This is a supportive and non judgemental place. You can share your struggles here just like you did. I understand never thinking it would get worse but that usually tends to happen. You get worse before you get better. I can relate to how you feel. A thing I would suggest is finding a therapist that you can share how you feel with and get on the road to recovery. I know it isn't to share some things and it takes time to get better. You'll need to patient. Things will get better with time. I would also suggest trying some medication. That can really help sometimes. But with medication it can be a lot of trial and error. As it can take time to find the right medication as well. I would also suggest finding some coping skills that will help keep you distracted. I know i've used it before and it has helped a lot. Sometimes they stop working though. I wish only the best for you. Please take care of yourself and mental health I hope this message finds you in safer and healthier place. ❤️😊
