New To The Depression Support Community? Introduce Yourself Here!

Well hey everyone I'm new to 7 cups and I am feeling better. All I just want someone to talk to and somebody that will actually understand me and won't judge me. I've been suffering with depression for a long time now. It started since I was pretty young yet, the scars haven't healed. I would thank everyone that will support me with what I'm going through. Other than that I want some friends and I'm here to help somebody else too. If someday any of you guys want to talk am here.

Hi! I'm Sean :) I'm new here. I'm hoping to get the opportunity to understand and help myself more through this community <3

Not sure what to put here. Hi. I, um, suffer from really bad depression. While I cannot ever fathom the idea of suicide, I do frequently get to the point where I don't see much purpose in life. I don't have many good relationships at all, no skills, talents, and generally do a terrible job at everything I do, so I feel like I have no purpose anywhere and am just a waste of space, time, and energy. The one thing I feel like I actually have going for me is a recently found girlfriend who seems to be more willing to listen and understand than anyone I have ever met.. And even then I end up occasionally having issues with it that make me think it's better to just break it off, which would just bring me back to having nothing.

Hello everyone. My name is Emory. Im 23 yr old adult. Ive dealt with depression for a long time. Growing up Ive seen alot of things happen and ive lost people along the way. Coming onto 7 cups 3 years ago, I wanted to make a difference in my life and the lives of others. I wanted to give what I learned to other teens so that they could fface and stand tall and conquer their depression. I know its a tough battle daily ( i still go through it myself) but with time and people there to support u ( including me) depression is something that can be managed and overcomed. I hope to be able to help you all if i can and to be able to do my best to support you all and maket he journey on 7 cups and your depression easier to handle. :) If you want to talk, just pm or say hi to me and ill answer. :) Stay safe and know that you are loved and cared for by people here on 7 cups.

My name is Kim I am new to this site, I hope to be able to find someone I can talk to about depression and those days where the struggle is too much.

I have suffered from depression from 15 years old and a combination of traumatic life events through childhood and young adult life has significantly contributed to more severe depressive disorder. It's very easy to feel alone and misunderstood but I hope here I may feel at home.

Hello. It's really weird to be writing this. I am not used to this. I am not even sure how I ended up here. Because unlike a lot of you here I haven't been officially diagnosed with depression. I even think that I am still having a hard time admitting it to myself.

It started almost 8 years ago. It was hard back then. Not long ago I even found a suicide note I wrote at that time for my sister. It actually scared me that I felt that kind of despair.

So, now I am mostly fine. Only numb, I guess. It's difficult to feel anything. But when I allow myself to feel it only ends with disappointment.

And maybe it's normal. And I don't have depression. And all of it is just my overactive imagination

@Laura Hi, My name is Jane and I have depression. I'm just trying to learn more about it and have a place to share my expereince.

I feel so hurt like no one wants me. I feel like everyone leaving me and I can't be strong I feel like I'm going to fall I don't know what to do😭

I've been depressed for more than a year now.I find it really funny how this whole thing started with a fight with my parents and one thing led to another and here I am now.I used to have friends but I lost contact with them as I locked myself in my room.my best friend told me that i have trust issues right before we broke up.I dont think I have trust issues.I just know for a fact that people around me dont understand me and I got tired of trying to explain myself.I've been suicidal for a while now and I have attempted afew times.I startrd having panic attacks and and My I literally get a panic attack when I am worrying about having another.I lost 15Kg in a month which would be a positive point if I wasnt born skinny.I started having nightmares and now when my brain ran out of subjects to create nightmares It started playing back my daily eventsand now I sometimes really cant tell the diffrence if whats happening is a nightmare or reality.My sister is a psychiatrist and i spend all my days hiding myself in a library so I wouldnt have to explain myself to her.I dont wanna talk about howw I feel to anyone.It makes me feel extraordinarily unsafe and insecure.I feel tired of living and every time I close my eyes i see myself lying miserbaly on a floor.I came to believe that this is it for me long ago and why I am still living, I dont know.Why am i saying this here i dont know either.

Hi there. I'm not really sure how this works but I'll try anyway. I have had depression my whole life. It runs in my family apparently but I'm the only one in the family of this century that has it. My many therapists say it comes from how I was raised and how I have treated myself. Although it's a serious problem, apparently most of it is self-inflicted. I have a serious pain in my heart all the time and it's really hard for me to breathe. My ears ring and I always have migraines. I'm always alone even in public, not that I try much to know people because who would want to know someone like me? I have thought about suicide a lot over my years but especially as of recently. It's just getting too hard. I know I shouldn't but I feel like I have to. I don't even know what to do anymore
