New To The Depresson Support Community? Introduce Yourself Here!
We want to get to know you!
Hello everyone, I'm new here but I've known this site for quite some time now. I have trouble with myself lately, I lose interest in things I used to love like music, writing, swimming. And I also couldn't find any motivation to do my thesis or study. I tried to talk to my friends about it but they always told me "it's going to be okay" or "it's all in your mind" so I stopped telling them anything. I couldn't talk to my family because they never take anything like this seriously. I don't know where to do since I couldn't afford any therapist right now. I feel lost, stupid, helpless, sad and I even cry every day for no reason at all lately. I think I just need someone to talk.

Hey, I'm so sorry... Honestly I feel that exact same way. I lose interest in everything I liked to enjoy, I don't seem to have much energy anymore, and my family doesn't understand or get it and I have no idea who to talk to...

Life is hard. there's no doubt about it , every one has different ways to cope with it ( some may navigate a bit better then others ) and some people learn to suppress their feelings .
Just know that everyday is a new beginning and baby steps will eeventually lead you new found motivation as long as you persevere .
I am no guru but I am a pretty good listener with a few years of experience up my sleeve , if you would like you can message me and I'll lend you my ears for a couple hours :)
I'm going to be forever stuck. No one on here can help me. What's wrong with me?
@ariel828
Hey, hold on a sec. What's up?
@GrandAdmiralThrawn every listener I talk to ends up telling me "sorry, idk how to help you, find someone else to talk to". I know it's my fault, considering I refuse their "compliments", idk what's wrong with me. No one is able to help me, so I'm pretty much realizing I'm going to be stuck in this forever, depression or whatever it is.
@ariel828
Ultimately nobody can help you out of your depression - like someone could help you carry your groceries .
You have to be willing to help yourself as well, the best another person can do is give you a third person perspective to what is troubling you in your life , you are the only one who can choose how you wish you navigate your life :) once you realize that the power is in your hands you can then practice how to heal yourself ^_^
If you are comfortable feel free to talk to me and I can assist you to the best of my abilities , mostly in wise ideologies and perhaps provide you a different perspective to look at life and whatever that is bothering you .
@pandalovelove I know I'm the only one who can do something but for some reason I have no motivation to do anything anymore
@ariel828
Maybe... I'm sorry that you're going through this. But even if people don't know how to help you right now, you're not alone. You can always talk with me if you want to
@GrandAdmiralThrawn thanks!
Hello. I'm new here.I'm not sure how this place works.
@bestDrum5539 Welcome to the community!
Hi, I'm Jerry. Most of the time I'm okay, but I have a really dark place that I go to. My life seems great, but it just isn't. I have a lot of friends, and I'm around people, yet I always feel alone. I've never felt like I belonged anywhere. It's nice to be part of this community now.
Hello... I'm new here and just kinda joined in a spur of the moment thing, so I don't really know how this whole deal works yet! I've been working through depression for over a year, as well as panic attacks, social anxiety, and probably general anxiety. I've been getting professional help for a few months now, but sometimes it doesn't seem quite like enough... My therapist isn't there for me 24/7! So I'm trying to be proactive and find ways to help myself and get out of low moods. Things have been getting better for me, but today was a pretty low day, prompting me to look for help online.
You can call me Silver, she/her pronouns. I'm kinda shy, but I'm a nice enough person who enjoys dogs, coffee, and tea.
I'm just gonna hit the send button now before social anxiety talks me out of it.
Hello, I am new to 7 cups. I am thrilled for the chance to connect with a lot of cool people and share experiences.

Hey I'm new to this site. I don't really know what to do. I might have depression but I think to myself if you think you have it you probably don't. But I don't want to feel like this. I just feel like if I go to the doctors they will just send me off to a therapist but I don't think I could talk to anyone upfront. Then you'd just be dismissed from treatment for not cooperating. Idk. Time continues. Life continues. But what's the point?
HI I am new to this site altogether. I am new to being honest about my depression and anxiety. I have covered it up for so long. I finally heard about a doctor in my town who had suffered severely for years and so i went to him because I felt like I finally had someone who understood. I found out he was my same age and so he has been treating me with some different medications to try. So far not a lot has helped me. So I am 40 years old, single, always been very independent and live alone, having a full blown midlife crisis, and not sure how to be more hopeful of the future. The future terrifies me. As life progresses it seems so does life. More and more of my circle of loved ones age and pass away. It can get very overwhelming to say the least. So here I am.
@RickR
I'm also new to being honest about my depression & anxiety. I smothered it with alcohol & drugs. Like if I denied it hard enough it wouldn't exist. Now I am focused on finding ways to manage my conditions daily.
