Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?
I feel like I can't breathe. Like I'm never ok even when I should be. I can't let go of things that have hurt me in the past and I can't admit that I still hurt to the people who have caused that pain. The people that I love the most. I should be strong but I just can't be.
You shouldn't have to be strong, feelings are there for a reason you are only human, like the rest of us. Everyone has been hurt in the past, in different ways to, sometimes it just takes the support of others to realise there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that light leads to a brighter and more fulfilling future.
It takes time to become strong when it feels like everyone sees you as weak. But it will happen, you will prevail and things will be so much better. Depression is a part of you but it doesn't need to be the whole of you. This is a dark chapter in your life but there will be a shimmering light soon enough. Just work as hard as you can and eventually you will get there.

I feel like there's no tomorrow anymore. I got rejected by the person I love. She's talking to someone else. I feel numb but I'm bursting out little by little. My protective shield is shattering and so am I. She was the reason for bettering myself. All she told me was to move on. That's its not fair to her for me to blame her for moving on. Yet she tells she's to blame for every suicide attempt of mine. I think she's a hypocrite in that sense. If I chose to do it or not, it's none of her business. Just exactly how she tells me about her moving on.
Love can be a hard thing to grasp and move on from, and some people don't realise the impact it has on others. But please realise that there is so much out there and so much more to life. Don't blame yourself, some relationships work and some don't. It's all part of life, there's someone out there for us all. It's just a case of time.
I just think its selfish of her part. If she wants to move on then it's fine. But she's gotta realize that not everyone is as "strong" as her to do so. Particularly when she has the upper hand of having some there already. Whether I want to move on or just end my life then it's my choice. Sure, they could shatter your life, dreams, and hope but you can't take your life because you'll make them feel guilty. They want you alive so they could sleep well at night while you suffer watching them live on with their lives.
I feel absolutely insane. As soon as I notice my depression and realize something is really wrong inside- it convienently runs away back into the shadows like nothing happened and I'm just fine. When I try to reach out for help I convince myself I'm okay and I'm just making it up. Why? I don't know what's real anymore.

I feel alone and completely terrified. I'm terrified of living. It's just not worth it anymore.

I feel extremely depressed . I cry all the time and no one knows anything I am going threw. I feel alone and have nobody to turn to. I am also stressed and I am a really negative person so that doesn't help. I can't stay positive for long. No one can help me get better. There are tons of things that trigger me . I feel like I can't live with this going on , and I feel it has gotten so bad I have lost touch with reality ! So I no longer know what is actually real . I wish I was okay buy I'm not :'( :(.....

I have no motivation to do anything. I can't even get myself out of bed till 2 pm daily. And I can't sleep but only maybe 2 hours at the most at night. My life sucks. :/

You know what, depression isn't a thing that makes you stronger. Being broken down by your own mind doesn't make anyone stronger. What makes you stronger is the little things, the things like making yourself a cup of tea when the world seems like it's falling apart, the things like listening to a song that brings even just a small shimmer of happiness, the things like reading a few helpful messages before you go to sleep. Depression doesn't make you stronger but you can still become strong.
Yes. All my yes. This.
My days are horrible. I was alone today like the other days. I want to cry but the tears just don't come out. I'm feeling suicidal, worthless, broken, everyone hates me, stupid, useless, fat, clingy, dead inside, tired, hopeless, sad, lonely, exhausted... I'm so sick of this but I don't have other choice, you're going to say you have you just have to change. But I don't want to change cause I'm so tired of this, I'm feeling so weak to do something. I don't know how to feel. All I know is my thoughts are right. All I feel is dead inside.
Please contact your country's Suicide Hotline or emergency phone number if you're feeling suicidal. Although 7 Cups is here for many people, we are not trained to help people with suicidal, homicidal or abusive thoughts.

I try to be positive. I try to think about what I did right. I have accomplished a lot yesterday and today but I still feel bad. I should feel proud of myself but I don't. I just feel hollow.

I'm on vacation. One of the last days, and I feel very depressed. Nobody has treated me better than a piece of paper and they get mad when I tell them how I feel. I am having pretty bad thoughts right now that are eating in my kind and I don't know what to do. I've tried everything that I can..
