New To The Depression Support Community? Introduce Yourself Here!

@Laura Hello everyone, I was really scared to google about depression and suicide in fear of what I read may cause me to do things to regret. Every once in awhile I have this intense sadness and I'll sit on my bed and cry and have no motivation to do anything. It started 3/4 years back and after every time it ends, I thought it'll be the last but it keeps coming back. And I just want to know if there are others that feel this way. Every time I walk beside the road or on a high building I will think about dying, but I know I'll never do that because I have a boyfriend that loves me so much. I feel horrible that I drag him into my hole of sadness and just want to be happy with him. I've been trying to overcome this by myself, and hopefully I don't have to start going to a doctor about it.

I have suffered from major depression and panic disorder since i was 15....my therapist feels i was depressed before that....i am on ssdi right now......i have had several bouts of suicide attempts...anybody can that can help me get through this i would appreicate

Come and say hello, lovelies!

Hello, I'm Melissa. I have depression for about 5 years now. I have faith that I can pull through this. But it is really hard

@Laura Hii! Iam glad to have found this site. I often suffer from feelings of sadness, emptiness and sometimes experience anxiety. Although I am able to overcome my anxiety to a good extent , I find it extremely hard and sometimes impossible to overcome feelings of sadness and emptiness. I would really like to know about this support group and that's why iam here.

Hey everyone! New to the depression support community but just wanted to introduce myself, you can call me Beat, and I'm honored and excited to be a part of this. This site has been great so far.

So I've been worried about myself. I think I might be mildly or moderately depressed but I'm not sure. In general, I feel dulled, as if I'm on autopilot. Sometimes I feel like crying over random things. My future is getting harder to see. I've taken some online tests from PsychCentral, American Psychology, places like that. Most of the tests said I may be mildly to moderately depressed. But I still enjoy my hobbies. I'm always encouraging my friends. I think something's wrong but I don't know what.

Hello all, Excited to be apart of this.

Hi there! My name is Nicole and I've been feeling down for quite a while now. I'm constantly beating myself up over all my failures and I'm having trouble connecting with people like I used to. I've been afraid to reach out to anyone. This is the first time I've really looked into talking to others about how I feel, and I hope that it makes a positive impact on my life.

Hello, my name is Amber. My fiance is severely depressed. He refuses to get help and he talks of suicide. I get so scared. Ive been as supportive and helpful as a person can be. I dont know what more I can possibly do and I need to talk to someone or have a support group before the ugly monster of depression gets to me too. Thank you for any help..
