Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?
Really fucking angry
My chest has felt heavy since I woke up
Part of me is pleased that I finally took some control of my life. A bigger part is terrified of what is next. I reached out for help today knowing it will be so tough, maybe too tough for me.
It's a huge step so well done! I was so scared too but you can a take it at your own pace
Thanks. I've got a telephone appointment tomorrow afternoon. I've been so anxious all eve. So many thoughts running through my head. It's hard to cope.
No one knows me or wants to know me why should I bother carrying on. People either ignore me or get extremely angry with me for no reason. My mum and dad never even loved me. I was a dirty secret in my mums family until my nandied. I never even realised I was abused till I was in my 40 s what hope is there for me to ever have a normal, happy, fulfilled life?
It sounds like you have alot you need to talk about, firstly, I'm so, so so sorry that you've been through so much. Have you considered seeing a doctor? It's a little scary at first but they work wonders. I think you're very self depreciating, you sound like a very strong person. You've come here looking for help and support and that's a huge step!
I need to die, I don't deserve to be here
As I expected, no one cares. I'm over with this
Hiya, I'm shelly and I do. Tell me what's going on? What caused you to feel this way? Remember we're a community here and all help each other
Is every thing ok
I live in hell, if I go to hell for this it cannot be worse.
If things can't get worse they'll surely get better xx
Shut is rong
Tell me I will help you
I don't feel anything. I'm numb.
I was numb, dead inside
I don't feel anything anymore. there's no point in being here because I don't feel anything.
Feeling numb is ok, you don't feel the pain.
but I cut to try and feel pain and I never do
You won't yet, this is the minds defence mechanism. It doesn't want you to feel more pain than you can cope with yet. It doesn't last forever. Just know your mind is protecting you until it is safe to let you feel the pain
What caused you to numb the pain? Is it easier to cope?
You could get better. I've been in and out of this my whole life, I've lost hope. Ifs impossible
I've been there. I'd like to strongly recommend you go to your doc and tell him about this numbness, in Ireland the doctor then gives you a referral to a psychologist who can help you figure out why you feel this way. In the mean time try reconnecting with friends and family
Tell me what is wour problem and I will try me best to help with it
Are u ok
I feel like there's no point in living anymore. Every day it's just the same routine over and over again, and with each day it becomes harder. People started to complain about me being unhappy, so I try to hide it as best as I can but it's getting hard.
it will get better I promise you. I have been through exactly what you described and now, two years later, it is such a good feeling that I can pass on what I know and have expriencedto others who are beginning to or are going through the same thing. I wish the same for you. stay strong (:
it just keeps getting harder each day because I know that no one cares about me. I feel really lonely.
People care, you just don't see it. There's a whole network of people to talk to to make you feel less lonely right here. Stay strong, you can do this.
