Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?
My head feels like it's floating, but in a weird way. I want to cry because I feel like no one in my family knows what I'm going through. I'm scared things won't get better even though I know they will.
@orimstillaliveo, you feel scared and alone. That's okay. All of your emotions are valid. You can be sad. You can be numb. You can be confused. You can cry your heart out. It's okay. You're okay.
Knowing that there is someone in the family to support you is a great help and can make a difference, but I understand you don't want to confess to them. That's okay. Just know, that no matter how alone you feel, how much despair around you, we are here for you. We know that you are worth the struggle. We care.
*hugs tightly*
I feel like I'm buring out right now because of my main job. On the otherhand I feel accomplished because I managed to get most of my house cleaned today.
Will you come clean my house? Lol. Good job!!
@Alania1989, I'm sorry to hear you feel low because of your job. But I am so proud that you cleaned your house! It's a great achievement! I'm so proud of you, you are doing so well!
Lots of love ^^
Feel dead and numb and hurt at the same time.
My lovely @dynamicBirch566, darling, can I hug you to make it just a bit better, lighter for you?
*hugs tightly*

im new to this site. i have been recently been told i have depression. im not sure how to cope with it to make myself feel better except for to shut my self out from the world and sit in the dark.
@abbbyp, welcome! I'm Celaeno, and I'm glad that you've reached to us.
It takes time to come to terms with diagnosis. I think it's great that you are reaching out to this community for the support. It's brave and shows you have a strong character. Well done!
I also have a depression, and I also struggle with it on the daily basis. It's hard, but it's a bit easier when you have a loving people, supporting you all the way through. And this community is a great source of kindness and encourage for me. Thanks to the following option, I read everyday supportive messages on my feed. Thanks to the forums, I can be heard. Thanks to the discussion in chat rooms, I know I am not alone, and that there is a lot of people feeling the same numbness, and hopelessness, and sadness, and anger, and dread, and anxiety, and so on.
People are afraid of depression, because they don't know about it. So I encourage you to learn about it. Read lots of articles, watch movies, ask your doctor questions, hear about other's experiences with it. Educate yourself, so you'll know what are the weaknesses of your enemy. It will really help you with your battles. If you want to know my thoughts on how it is to be depressed, I encourage you to visit this thread. Some people said I managed to capture the essence of it. Read it, so you can learn if it resonates with you.
It's okay. Having depression is okay. It's not your fault. It's nobody's fault. You don't have to be limited by it. You have depression, but depression doesn't have you. You are more than your struggles. You are worth the treatment, and you are worth a life free from it. You are beautiful and lovely. You deserve the best of universes.
If you ever want to talk about your struggle, you can try 1-on-1 chat with a listener, or you can post in a group support room, or in forums. You can also introduce yourself to others in this thread - it's a popular first stop for new members ^^ And please, visit this thread from time to time, to let us know, how are you feeling.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, @kd0695. But that's okay. You can feel everything you want to, all of the emotions are valid. Can I just hug you?
*hugs you gently and shields you from all the pain of this world*
You are wonderful. I'm glad that you've reached out to us. Please take a good care of yourself.

Hi! I feel very sad and depressed but i have a solution so im gonna share it whit you! If you felt like me: sad,angry,tired,really lazyyyyy. Then you need to extracise (dont know how to write that :O ) basicly do running, a few crunches maybe pushups etc. Its awsome for your body and even better for your mental health. Try it! And keep staying great people!!!
Nice tip, @neonCoconut8131, thank you for sharing it ^^ Unfortunately I am not always able to put energy to exercise, when making just through the day is a difficult struggle for me. But on the better day moving your body is a great way to lift up your mood. I personally recommend dancing in your room and singing ^^
I feel very upset about how my family thinks of me.
They just told me that im passive about my studies when i actually get sick a lot while studying in the university kilometers away from them.
Now, i have developed a skeletal problem due to fatigue and they still think i don't do shit back in university.
I know our family's situation is really tough, my brother is the one who finances me, he's only in his twenties. And his twenties is not how he imagined it to be, he should be out there somewhere enjoying or travelling but he can't because he has to work for all of us.
I do what i can back in university. But it seems that my best is never enough to get those high grades that i want or to pass requirements on time. I really can't push any further or else my body and mind will give up on me
I'm supposed to graduate this year, but due to some shit in the uni, i dont think i can. That fact is enough to bring me down, all i ask from my family is their undying support because i am not as able as my brother, my limits are not as high as his.
Everytime i want to open up, they get angry and they tell me to "Grow up! We provide everything that we can, chances have been given to you! Grow up!" Or my brother will tell me "do you think i like this set up? Im spending my twenties working my ass off to help you!" And so i'd get hurt because they dont listen to me. And when i get hurt i get angry too so i raise my voice and the whole conversation will end with me shutting up because im already crying while they're still going on with their life speech..and mind you, they will go on for about another hour.
So i just put on my noise-cancelling earbuds and blast the music. Or yeah just put them on even when there is no music playing. Silence. Just silence.
That must be really hard. But if you belive in yourself and just do it. Dont study learn thats the only way you can succeed. Dont let the harsh people get to you. Your a great person and dont let enyone tell you different.
Alone and sad and hurt in the same time
