Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?
terribly. something triggered me today, and I relapsed. It will take me a while to recover, and I'm not sure how to start.
Start with the knowledge that you want to recover. Then why you want to recover. Then to how you're going to do it. You're amazing and you can do this. Try reading the self-help guide for self-harm up at the top of every page on this website (:
I had this dream. It's like I was trapped in a hole and there were little bubbles of light and hope floating all around but just a little too high for me to reach. They seemed so close yet so far, only a jump away, but for some reason my feet were glued to the floor and no matter how hard I tried I would always be stuck. Every time it rains the hole would fill with water and erode some of the soil away. Sometimes the rain was too much for me to handle and it would fill up so high I couldn't breath and it felt like I'd never escape. All of the rocks left many scars and bruises on me that I'm going to be stuck with forever. People could yell down the hole for me to stay strong and be patient I will be rescued soon. This has been going on for 3 years. I'm still waiting to be rescued. And just like that it wasn't a dream. The rain is stress and rocks are hurtful words. Even if it's a little pebble it would still hurt if someone threw it at you especially if it hit an already-forming bruise. This isn't a dream; it's a living nightmare and the scariest part is: I have to be my own hero.
I know you've probably heard this a million times, but it will change. Life is the potential for change. Nothing is permanent and that's a really good thing. You can do this. You'll get better. I'm very proud of you for making it this far and doing the best you can.?
Not good I been though several triggers today.
You're doing great, I'm proud of you?
I feel lonely. And I don't know what I'm doing with my life anymore.
You may feel lonely, but you're not alone. You've got this whole community here to help you through as best we can. You'll figure everything out and what doesn't get figured out will fall into place. x
I feel like my mind is trying to kill me. My friend don't speak to me and I'm worried about them, I keep having really bad nightmares, and I can't help but feel its all my fault. I'm worried I'm still just an expendable friend and I'm no longer needed. And all of its just fulling my depression.
I'm a 16 year old girl who has messed up in the past, but yesterday I went and hung out with a couple guy friends. I thought it would be okay with my mom since she let me hang out with them before, but she got extremely mad when I told her where I was at. I was gone for most of the day also, so that could be a reason why she's mad, but when I tell her the truth about where I was and what we were doing she doesn't believe me. She thinks I'm out screwing some guy but in reality we went hiking and then went to one of my guy friends girlfriends house to play cards. I told her that too but she won't believe me. She keeps insisting that I'm screwing them. I don't know what to do. I'm already prescribed with depression and anxiety and I feel like she doesn't want me anymore. She won't let me go anywhere except to work. What do I do? It feels like she would have a better life without me.
I feel mentally and physically drained. The world seems a bit more gray than yesterday.
Forever stuck inside room
Dog is the best kind of "therapy". He made me feel better. And I am depressed af.
I wish mine did. I was crying my eyes out on the floor last night and she looked up from a nap like she was gonna come over, and then just laid back down. Got my hopes up and everything. Not even my dog wants to put up with me when I'm like that haha
I am very much in depression due to my breakup.my girlfriend of 3 years left me by saying she dont feel the same way.she left me 2 months ago and since then i am begging her to come back but she keeps hurting me insulting me saying live your own life and stop interfering in hers.i never thought she would let me go so easily coz she really loved my i never did something wrong besides some normal fights and most of it was related to her protect her but now she she dont respect me anymore dont ever bother asking me how i am or whatever and enjoying in her life and i am a complete mess here. And i cant even stop showing in her life and cannot stop contacting her. She gets irritated most of the time when i contact her...its hard to move on and more hard to see how easy it is for her forget what we had and move on so easily....
