New To The Depression Support Community? Introduce Yourself Here!

Hello... I just wants to share that i also got some depression .. Sometimes it becomes worst.. And i don't really got support.. I hope i could have support here... Thank you

I've been dealing with low self-esteem, depression, & anxiety for as long as I can remember. A few months ago, the last of the bullies in my family blocked me on Facebook. Yeah, it hurt a little, but a good night's sleep was all I needed to get over it. Worse, my best friend just threw me away & blocked me in the past week. That one really hurts.

On the family part, my parents & sisters (no brothers) all live in the town I grew up in, 1/2 hour away from where I currently live. I don't go down to visit on a regular basis. I think that's a good thing as I don't feel like any of them are there for me. I also have a pair of cousins that live close by though. They are the only family that's technically an adult & that, I think, feel like family. I can spend time with them & not feel like I have to think or feel the way they want me to. My co-workers also do a great job of making me feel like I'm welcome & can be myself.

Good morning! New here. I just found this site this morning.

I was diagnosed with massive depression almost 15 years ago. At the time I was told that I had probably suffered from it all my life. My father's response, "I knew there was something wrong with you when you were a kid. You were always sad. But I didn't know what to do for you." Thanks dad...that's helpful.

I am currently on two anti-depressants, but it's just not enough anymore. I've tried therapy, but it takes so much for me to REALLY open up to a person.

I'm so sad and lonely. I am not suicidal again, yet, but I do want to give up. Every step forward is met with two steps back and I'm just tired!

None of my friends have ever suffered from depression, so while they want to help, they just don't get it. My family says they're here to help...but all I feel is judged when trying to talk to them about how I feel.

I am hoping that being able to annonymously talk to people who are going through what I'm going through will help.

Thank you!

Hey, so I am new here (like, I actually just joined a few minutes ago) and I really just want to have a community to be able to talk to about my depression. For some background information, I have struggles with some family issues for as long as I can remember (I'm only 15), and I've been really withdrawn and quiet my whole life. In October this past year I was diagnosed with a chronic illness that will affect me for the rest of my life. This diagnosis pushed me over the edge into a depression that was uncontrollable and miserable. I haven't gathered the courage or strength to tell anybody how I am feeling until this post actually:) So that's me, thank you for welcoming me!

Hi there, I'm new here, I'm a 21. Call me Fluff.

I struggled with many things for about a year and it seem like I loosed my fight against depression and fall back in it, it make me so angry … I feel really stupide because I can explain everything I do or feel like an observator, but I cant do anything against my behavior an its exasperating. Im litterally lost in my life, I cant imagine a futur anymore. Also, I'm transgender, I made peace with that a long time ago, but it still a burden on every days life. I recently was throw away by someone I called my sister for the past six years, and have a really, really hard time dealing with that. It's an accumulation of bad things and I'm drowning in it,

I feel like Im an horrible and worthless personne. Im working on it, but I would like to stop seeing myself as a monster. I think talking to someone about all of this and having a new point of view would really help, but I'm awfully shy and doesn't feel legitimate to go and talk about it. Being here is a first step, and I hope to keep walking.

Thank you

Hi, im not really sure how this works yet but i'll give it a go. I think ive been struggling with depression for about a year now. Ive never been diagnosed or anything but it sure feels like depression. Its like i'm just sad by default with small periods of happiness rather than the other way around. I feel like im depressed, but at the same time i feel like i dont deserve the title because i know there are so many who have it worse than me. Its only gotten worse since i moved home for the summer. I barely ever leave the house, i sleep till noon and i feel like i always have to put up a happy front or my mom will snap at me. I dont know if what im going through is depression or not, i just know that it sucks and i want it to be over. Thanks for listening

Hello everyone, I hope all of you are doing okay.

I'm here because I've had chronic depression for the past 8 years and I'm currently going through a really difficult depressive episode, one of the most difficult ones I've had in my life, I just started antidepressants about two weeks ago and they are really helping which is great but for the past couple of days I started experiencing really violent side effects manifesting in severe anxiety attacks, dizziness and nausea. I know it's not gonna last but I'm finding it hard coping with anxiety attacks the most. If anyone has had similar experiences and would like to share what helps them cope please feel free to do so.

Have a good day

Hi, I'm new here and i've been feeling "down" for like a few years and i thought now is a good time to start somehting new and to get help. I'm 17 and my family doesn't know about me which is big burden to carry around with me all the time. I hope i meet people here who can relate to the way i feel.

Hello. i'm totally new here. I found this website like ten minute ago and i'm happy i did.

I have depression since last years. I just turn 18 and i drop of school because of depression (don't do like me seriously)

also i'm French so i'm really sorry if i made some mistake but don't worry i understand pretty well (i currently live in uk)

well that's all, Nice to meet you all

Okay hey... I just joined here so Im like new and I thought it'd be good to talk to someone because I kind of feel lonely all the time now days. Also I haven't been diagnosed with depression or anything like that but I keep getting this feeling that something is wrong with me. Idk but I don't have a good school performance like other people in my school how much ever I try, like even if I try my hardest I manage only to get a B, A*s aren't my thing idk why. Plus, idk I can't happen to make friends that easily and I also feel anxious when with a lot of people. Another problem I have (sorry I have too many problems and this like the first time Im telling it like anywhere) is that I can almost never think properly. Like even when I'm crying Im thinking about how I should cry and... theres just a heck lot going in my mind and that is just frustating and tiring. Btw, I'm from India and 17 years old.
