It's going to be my birthday soon, but i always hated when my birthday comes :( i just want to get it over already.

Don't feel that way. Another year older is an amazing accomplishment, which means that you yourself are amazing

I have been fighting with my husband on and off for a couple weeks now. :( I'm feeling lonely as well as pathetic. I make myself sick.

My husband and I are having marital issues as well. He left yesterday and I know the lonliness you're talking about. It's a terrible feeling. We all deserve better.

Worthless disappointed in myself for relapsing :(

I hate myself. I hate the fact I am so shy with everyone, I went out last night with a friend and we met in with new people. I felt so awkward and some of them were saying"why are you so quiet". I hate when anyone asks me this, it make me feel like a freak. Or like I can't function in normal society, what made it wors is the fact my "friend" said why can't I be normal. I let everyone walk on me lik a doormat, I'm sick of it

I feel an inherent tiredness that cannot be simply cured by sleep.

I'm feeling the depression come creeping back into my life; the tiredness, hopelessness, numbness. It scares me because I thought I was starting to getbetter. I feel like it's been taking an napand now it's awoken and ready to consume me with a newfound energy...

phantompunk92 June 5th, 2015
.

I feel extremely depressed and overwhelmed. I feel like I can't stand the sight of myself and I feel like I'm an inherently terrible person. I can't reach out to anyone - I've been masking all of this for so long. I feel tired yet restless. I just don't know what to do with myself anymore. I wish I wasn't me.

Depression has a lot sides for me but there are 3 main ones -one is where I hate depression and I want to be happy. I want to be healthy. I want to get better. I take baths/showers, I eat, I drink, I sleep, I let myself relax etc. -second is being numb. Feeling nothing. Feeling as if nothing matters. I don't care about anything. I don't bother to try to figure out how I feel and it usually lasts a while. -third is being depressed. Being low. Feeling empty. Forgotten. Lonely. Feeling like I don't belong. This is where I have a lot of suicidal thoughts and want to harm myself. I usually don't bother to try to feel better unlike the other one. I feel like it won't get better. I feel like a failure. A burden. Lost cause. Like no one will love me. Like I'll always feel lonely. Lost. And like it won't change like I'm stuck in a hole or drowning in the ocean but a lot of the time I get so far along that I don't care if that much and if I die so what? No one cares right? I'm not happy why should I live through more of this when I'm right back here?

I don't know what I feel. When I'm with my family or friends, i smile, joke and talk all like everything is normal but once I head to sleep or left alone, I suddenly just feel so sad and depressed... Like I'm not entirely happy at all... Something's missing and I can't put my finger on it

I am 14 years old and I have already been through enough crap for three lives. My mom is bipolar and she went off of her meds and abused me for 7 months straight. I thought it was my fault and I still kind of do. My friend just tried to kill herself and is now in a care facility and nobody really noticed she was gone but me. And I can't help but wonder if people would even notice if I killed myself. I feel like I am just a burden to everyone around me. I have a really hard time talking to people. I don't see an end to this. My thoughts are not so great and they bring me down. I am not doing great and nobody notices. I kind of feel like I shouldn't have to scream at people in order for them to see me. I feel invisible. It's been about a year since my mom got back on her medicine and I can't move on. It's killing me. All of my memories are stuck in my head and I can't get rid of them so when I'm not around people I break down and wish I could just die so I don't have to be like this anymore l.

People would definitely notice if you were gone. I know it's hard to see now but it's so very true. Despite everything you're burdened with you are valuable and you can make it through this. It takes time and often requires help but it's possible. It's normal to still be haunted by your memories - my 23 years of life haven't all been great ones either and I live with those memories still to this day - even ones from 10+ years ago - but there are still some good days. One never forgets entirely but learns to live with all the scars. Do you have anyone to talk to? A doctor or school counselor or a close friend or family member? If that's not an option then you can call a crisis hotline - they will listen, offer resources, and stay on the line with you as long as you need. It's an invaluable resource. I truly hope that you will find help and peace and stay around to see all that life has to offer. It has its ups and downs but all-in-all it can be good. :)

You have a story to tell that will help others going through the same thing. As terrible as it is to go through what you go through, you ARE here for a reason. You can and will help others. Hang in there!! You matter:)

Not very well. I feel very lonely and left out. I feel sad and cried.

I feel sad and alone

compassionateSail8728 June 6th, 2015

During the day, I have to pretend like everything is okay, because I don't want anyone else to know about my depression. But when I'm all alone, everything is horrible. I often try to cut, or even off myself. I'm always read books and watch movies and all of my friends think I'm twisted because I can put up with it. I always feel so alone in the world even though I am told I have many friends. I feel like there's something wrong with me because I keep seeing things, and day by day the visions get worse. Not a day goes by where I don't feel like suicide is the best answer

Honestly? I feel numb, ignored and alone. My friends no longer acknowledge me and I keep losing them. I have been pushing people away lately and I just feel so isolated.

littlehelper14 June 17th, 2015

I just feel so tired and drained.

like nothing I do is important, like I just want to sleep forever. today I just felt tired and worn out, like it took every bone in my body just to get out of bed this morning.

Bella133455 June 6th, 2015

To be honest I felt awful today. I have a group of friends and they always hangout and I never get invited. I feel like they don't like me anymore sand they will never text me or anything anymore. I just wish one day they would invite me it would show that they really care you know. I just want to feel wanted.

Really depressed with no motivation to do anything or see anyone but not enjoying just sitting still either. Feeling really self destructive...

Reign11 June 6th, 2015

Today like many days I feel like garbage. I don't have any friends everyone's always to busy for me. And my family only calls me when they need something. My fiancis falling out of love with me and I have nothing left.. Just sleep the days away now. Always tired... Always dead inside

Defeated. I feel like hiding in a hole for the near future.

dynamicBalloon8067 June 17th, 2015

I don't know how I feel, I just know it's negative, because I don't feel happy at all. I feel as though I've reached the bottom of the hole I've been digging myself into and I cannot climb out. I'm trapped.

I am just a worthless 14 year old girl. Relapsed at like 3-5 am today. The blades overpowering me. I feel so lost in thoughts. I feel so empty. It's so bad that the tears I release don't make me feel better. Instead I become worse. I am afraid of the future. I am afraid of myself.....

Today i feel like i have to do a lot of things (go to therapy for the first time, get homework done, etc) and dont have the motivation or the energy to do none of it. It's like i want to be depressed, but at the same time i dont want to be and want to overcome it. I'm a mess.

littlehelper14 June 18th, 2015

Same. I cannot describe the feeling entirely but I understand. I feel conflicted too.

Today was good I went to petco with my dog and brother. Then when we had to go to my moms he turned into a selfish jerk towards me saying no one likes me even though I know it's not true, his words still hurt because I don't even like myself and I don't need him telling me that stuff.
