Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?
I feel very lonely today.
@090801, sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I can't do much, but would you mind giving you a hug?
*hugs*
I've made some mistakes and I'm just hoping they don't affect me in school. Although, I feel like I'm not going to have such luck anytime soon....
I feel..alone. I've been abandoned by (since I counted) nearly 30 people..most likely more over the past 6 years..which have been the worst. Yeah, there were some too times...but not much. I try not to trust essily , making myself seem vulnerable I now know for a fact that I literally am a toy to most of the people in my life. I was used in a "social experiment" by my ex..to see if people still had feelings....which is absolute bullish*t. He knew how I felt about him and he and his only friend made a game off it. That hurt me! But he doesn't care. He never cared. I'm not stupid..but people treat me like I am. And just cause I'm 16 and barely 5'3" people think its ok to call me a baby...and tell me I don't know anything. That's not fair. People tell me I don't understand anything.I just don't know how much longer I can handle being alive. No one in this world genuinely cares about me..I'm a waste of space...I'm sure there is someone somewhere who deserves to have my life...cause I don't.
Don't worry my friend , you are awesome. Just understand that it's not your fault. But , I bet you have the one of the most beautiful and golden hearts. You are a wonderful person , thanks for telling me your story and inspiring me , and I kinda felt emotional even though I'm not much of a emotional person. Maybe because it touched my heart and I could relate to it :)
I'm usually depressed and suicidal, because I'm young have had a bad past and I am emotionally weak. The one thing that ever kept me alive was my family. I still thought about suicide but today has been an eye opener for me. I came home and had to be told that my mum is suffering from cancer and that changed me. To think that I had tried suicide not even 3 weeks before this makes my gut twist. When someone who means a lot to you, and something is seriously wrong with them it changes you. My mother is my world, my best friend, the most amazing parent I could ever ask for and I'm at risk of loosing her right now and I know she loves me just as much as I do and I cannot imagine how painful it would be for her if I disappeared. Even though she's in pain, and is terrified she still smiles and she tells everyone it's going to be okay, and I will never attempt suicide again and remember how precious my life is.
TW: suicide, cancer
@Meeku, I'm so sorry that cancer touched your family. It must be overwhelming and scary and painful to cope with something like this. Support which you are giving to your mum in this difficult time is invaluable, lovely.
Your compassion and love is a sign of your great character. You're not emotionally weak, lovely - you've endure every heartache and tear so far. That's not weakness, that's a magnificent, pure strength. Your past is the proof of your bravery and persistence, regardless of shadows and darkness that lurks there.
Suicidal thoughts and attempts are gut-wrenching. The way I see them, though, is a way for your brain and whole existence to give a form to unbelievable pain you are feeling every day. It's not your fault that you desperately search for a solution to break out from this pit of despair. It is depression which tries to drown you. You long to take a breath without feeling a weight pressing on your chest from the moment of waking up to the last blink of the eyes.
You're not alone. There are many people who will help you to cope and ease the struggle. You have support from your family and from this whole community. Whenever you want to talk, don't hesitate, wonderful. We'll listen and help you to carry this weight.
*hugs tightly*
I feel really lonely even when I'm surrounded by people I'm just to exhausted to go anything and have resently started scratching my hand so it bleeds and picking my skin. I'm just so stressed and tired all the time
@courageousSouth8109 being lonely is hard .I hopeyou are better. hugs
Hey everybody,
My name is Aleena , and I am a secondary school student. It was really a pleasure that I get to be a part of the 7cups community. It's such a joy to see wonderful people collaborating and sharing the marvelous stories. All of you are harmoniously working together , to care for each other. Honestly , in today's world it's not a common sight to see people upholding humanity and standing up for others. In fact most of us are materialistic and blinded by the stigmas and so called rules of the society that we fail to understand and respect each other's background. Everybody is unique and uniqueness is not something that separates you from others. Imagine if all of us wore the same clothes, ate the same food and did the same things. Wouldn't it be boring? There are many people who criticise one another by saying ," hey , you are not normal " ; but I wonder , what is"normal".? Uniqueness is wonderful , it gives us a deeper insight to all the marvelous things human beings can do. Instead of complaining about the 1 or 2 things we form have , why don't we try to appreciate the things that God already gave us and be thankful. Sometimes society comes up with this really weird names like 'gay' , lesbian , transgender etc. Why are these. Names even there ? Even with these names , they are still humans right ? What we are actually doing is putting labels and sorting people into different boxes. Just treat others like how you want to be treated.
@ChocolatePoppy1 Agreed, 100%. That was very well written, it proposed an amazing point. Thanks for making my day a bit better.
i am filling depressied cuse one of my suports is leaveing monday and angsheses cause i also have to do a sic evoile on monday
I feel really frustrated and sad. And kind of like there's no point to it because it's not up to me to change the things that make me feel this way.
Hurt // Sad // Worthless
- - I don't see why we bother making any sort of relationships because the majority of our lives are spent on building them up and either disappointing someone else or being let down yourself when it doesn't work out. Friendships that are built on trust and loyalty and empathy rather than material gain and gossip and abandoning others are rarer than unicorns.
I feel numb. I hardly slept cause I talked to a friend until I passed out. The same guy so brushed me off a few days ago or so...messaged me today. He loves to make me feel guilty about everything. I do. I told him I might delete Skype since I barely use it...I still haven't. And now I might delete kik cause I've no friends to talk to on kik anymore. All he sent was "Mk.." Probably cause my name is "deleting??? ✌"
But yeah. He doesn't make an effort to talk to me...So I see no reason for him to be upset with me. I just had a guy try and go off on me..basically saying what I'm feeling is bullsh*t. But he has not communicated with me..but we're still "friends" yeah.....riiiiiiiiight.
I don't need them
