Hi!
I want to tell you about my depression.
- I like creating something out of nothing. That's not literally what you do when you're programming, because there's existing hardware and software that serves as a foundation for your work, but it sure feels that way. Someone has an idea and you build it from the ground up. When you begin, there's just an empty text editor. When you're done, there's a (hopefully) working program.
- I like building things people use. It's amazing to type up some code, press a button, and suddenly thousands of people on the Internet are playing with it.
- I like playing God. Programming allows you to build little worlds and then play with them, making adjustments and watching the effects. It's like owning a toy planet and saying, "I'm going to make it rain, today. Oh, look! All the little people have opened umbrellas!" This playing-God aspect of programming makes it similar to writing novels, painting paintings, or directing plays.

@43aiu *without the 'to join you'
Hi all! I just joined because I've been struggling with depression again since about March, and it just keeps getting worse. I was reading some of the threads on here, and it made me feel less alone, so I decided to join. <3

Welcome! 
It's true you are not alone 
@turquoiseClementine1750
Welcome!
Hey everyone! I joined because I have severe bouts of depression as a result of PTSD and BPD. I have been previously diagnosed with dysthymia as well. I have been in therapy for 10 months, but I recently had to change therapists so I was looking for extra support as I adjust to my new therapist.
@Indistinctaurora Sounds a bit like me! My mom has BPD and I've been diagnosed with PTSD a few times over the years. Never really took it seriously though because no one thing "happened" that would cause PTSD. Anyway, I can empathize.
hello!
i am depressed and seeking support
thx

Hi, I just joined today. I'm struggling with depression. Specifically, a lack of motivation preventing me from doing the basics I need to do on a daily basis. I think the depression, as well as anxiety, is a result of trauma from emotional abuse. I hope I can learn ways to motivate myself to take care of myself, to generally view myself better - worthy of taking care of. I hope to be able to lessen the amount and the degree that depression holds me back in life.
@Zeraphim
I to have a major, major lack of motivation. Just leaving the house brings on the tension and the anxiety. I cannot say that I am one of the people that lock myself in the house, or at least not yet. I lay down in the bed and say tomorrow I am going to do this, or do that, go to church, whatever it maybe. Tomorrow comes, Im off at 10, I have to lay there for an hour, get up brush my teeth, lay back in bed, watch some TV, before I know it its 3 oclock and the day is done. And the cycle begins again I get upset with myself because I didnt do the things that I wanted to do today, and now I am in bed thinking tomorrow I am going to do this, or do that, and I do the same thing I did the day before. Lack of motivation is enormous
@Going2Bbetter as you see I cant even speak right. I hope you got my point. I get up in the morning at 10, thats what I was trying to say.
