New To The Depression Support Community? Introduce Yourself Here!

i'm depressed. Simple. I just need someone to talk to. Someone who i can tell my stories to, my daily expereinces, my thoughts. i'll listen to them too.

Hello

I'm new for the depression support community and I'm glad to be here with you all.

hello, Im new here, i been in a real rutt latley, i just turned 50 yrs old, i have 2 amazing kids, but im single and theyyre 1800 miles away, most of my friends, close friends, guys i go shoulder to shoulder and back to back with anyday against all odds, are either dead or in prison. i was talking to a co worker about it, and he told me in a non sarcastic way, "Fuckin dude, you should write a book." the past 40 years would make one hell of a damn good book. and so i think i found my form of therapy. everyone has a creative skill somewhere, be it painting, sculpting, writing, poetry drumming with hammers, anything...... i havent thought about it in a long time but one way i use to deal with bitter, angry , or sad feelings back in high school was writing poetry about whatever it was, totally fierce wierd insane poerty, then when it was finished, i'ld burn it. and somehow my problems went up in smoke that way. just food for thought, chew slowly.

that book idea gave me closure with my issues for now, so if anyone wants to talk, please dont hesitate i've had many bouts with depression over the years, and lost a few friends to it. so Im here for ya.

Hello! My nickname on here is bubbles and im a listener. I've struggled with major depression for about seven years and it gets really tough sometimes. Talking to and helping on this site helps me a lot though :)

My name is James. And i dont know what my deal is, im thinking bipolar (self diagnosed), but i am super happy on days and then act like a complete crazy person the next. And sometimes i just come home and sit and not do anything and go into coma mode. Im sure that is not healthy.

any suggestions

I can see the way she looks at him with a tinge of hate, must be jealousy

She sees him and she thinks of me and what I must have that she doesn't

What makes me worthy of loving, while she isn't

I laugh in glee as I shove our love in her crying face

She tells me that I must be happy with myself because I have ruined everything

I remind her that she wasn't as lucky as I, for I have always been better

I am the best lover and the best woman of hate

I have our fathers strength and our mothers submission

I can be whatever he wants, so he will never be bored of me

The thought is so great that I can't believe that he is mine

Someone like me can't possibly deserve someone like him

Because nothing makes me feel the way he can make me feel

When he squeezes me so tight I can't breathe through his love

Or when he looks at me so deeply that I struggle to even stand

Sister thinks that she can take part in the love that we have for each other

But she doesn't know him like I do, hasn't seen him like I have

I see into him and he sees into me because we have no secrets

He is there for me in the middle of the night when I wake up screaming

He is there when I stand in the middle of a crowd and see nothing but darkness

She talks to me every once in awhile and I can tell she wishes to keep us apart

I scream and cry and tell her to leave us alone, I don't want to hear it

But I end up hearing parts of it anyhow, because he cannot keep her out

She speaks in tongues that I cannot comprehend because she must be insane

She crying and yelling most of the time anyway so she has to be

To tell me that I need to get help is pretty ridiculous because I have all I need

I have a shoulder to cry on and a body to hold and that's perfect for me

Last time, she asked me what I am so scared of, why I refuse to let him go

And I laugh at her stupidity because he is the best thing that has ever happened to me

He held me when I was broken and when I could I longer go on with life

He promised me that if I would be his, then I would no longer worry about anything

He traded me my life for my body, which I was happy to give to him

I don't care about how it looks because he takes care of it for me

He tells me what I have to do to it to make everything better and he is never wrong

He knows exactly what I need, without me having to say a word

What was it she said to me the last time that she came to see me?

Oh yes, it was a tale of a girl who fell so deep into misery that she begun to unravel

She cut down to the bone in the name of love because she could no longer stand life

She broke down into pieces and went insane until the only thing holding her together

Was the very thing that broke her in the first place, the darkness inside her

What a silly story from my sister, I'm sure she only said it because the blood was too much for her

She always was such a weak one, which is why she left me in this ugly place to rot

It's okay though, because I always will have the darkness around me to keep me happy

She will never be able to take him away because he has crawled inside of me for safety

Hi I'm Lapo, 25yo. I'm new here, I'm feeling so depressed and suicidal from such a long time. Hope I will find someone who has or had the same problem to find a way to get out from all that suffering.

Hello. First time doing this. Acute depression. I'm having a hard time getting out of bed and am gaining weight. I have always been positive and in control of my life but realized today that I am depressed and need support. I am usually the one that everyone turns to. Now I need support. It feels crazy to me but I can't allow this to get worse.

Hello everyone. My name is Heather. I had depression during high school along with terrible anxiety. It got better a few years ago but now I am worse than I have ever been. I cry every night, sleepless nights, broken, lost, alone and miserable. I hate my life, and at times I wish I didn't exist due to all the pain I am going through. It's been 7 months of tortue. Pure hell. I have no friends and no support. I have lost people I loved very deeply and cared for. Like a dog thrown out of a car, on a dark rainy road in the middle of nowhere. With sad crying eyes watching the car full of my life, home, love all driving away. I'm wandering around in a endless dark pit of misery wishing, dreaming, praying and hoping for the return of the people I loved to come back. I live in nothing but darkness and I'm utterly alone.

Hello everyone, I am a new listener. I've suffered from Depression for about 15 years, I understand its daily struggle and unpredictable sudden lows. I've learned to fight it by creating with my writing or cooking and by surrounding myself with postive friends that have become family. I am here for you to support, to listen to and be understanding and nonjudgemeantal. It is so important to realize that despite the darkness we are not truly alone, none of us. I am here for everyone.
