@Celaeno I just...I'm always the second choice. The only time I get spoken to is if they need to use me.

@Angelofdepression, I see, lovely. It must be quite hard for you when you get ignore in social interactions. Would you like to tell a bit more who are you treating so inattentively?

@Celaeno I mean I guess it doesn't really matter. Nothing about this pathetic life I live is important.

Celaeno February 9th, 2016

@Angelofdepression, I don't know about that, because I'm not you, lovely, and don't know anything about your life. But let me say, that depression is a tricky and malicious disorder and it uses our brain against us. Your feelings are important, but they don't define you. You are much more than the dread you see in your life. You matter, because you are not giving in. You matter, because everyone does. You matter, just because.

You are enough, lovely. And you deserve better than this misery. It's something worth fighting for.

@Angelofdepression, I'm here for you now, lovely. Whenever you want to talk.

@tranquility89, I'm so sorry that you feel such a despair. It must be really difficult for you, lovely. I'm proud of you that you've reached out to us, though. Have you tried reaching out to a listener to talk in 1-on-1 chat? I believe doing that can really help you with loneliness.

*hugs*

I feel like I'm uninteresting to others

Celaeno February 7th, 2016

@Julymae711, depression can often makes us doubt our own social skills. But our emotions are not the facts, lovely. I personally believe people are interesting from default. Still, there is something which we can do to help you feel better. Do you have some idea how to stop feeling uninteresting?

@QuietPastelRain, having low energy levels is completely ok. This disorder is really exhausting. I'm happy to hear that you feel ok. Wish you a kind day, lovely!

I feel suicidal but not bad enough to actually do something. I don't really know what to do anymore because I seem to be getting so much worse, but it's okay.

Celaeno February 7th, 2016

@tealLime2602, it must be really difficult for you to insisting to keep going, like it seems it's pointless to even try. I know you are in so much pain that you just want all of your sufferings to disappear.

You are so brave and strong, darling, even if you don't believe it.

Please, click here

I know how hard it is to reach out in times of despair - I was myself here in this darkness. But you have already done it. It is hard, but you still managed to do it and it was courageous. I'm so proud of you! You can overcome anything, trust me. Or trust yourself, trust your voices and your pasts. You are fighting for so long, you are stronger than you believe.

Your pain seems unbearable, and you just don't have a strength to carry one. You just want to find a solution, to break out from this prison in your minds. Still, you're thoughts are the important indicators for something else. When you want to end it all, or even if you don't want to follow on this thoughts, even if you were just contemplating the death, even if you feel stronger now and think you will never go through with your just-for-fun-created plans, it's a big red flag that something is really wrong. These thoughts are signalizing that you are looking for a way to outlet your pain. No living creature wants to die, we instinctively do everything to help us cope with a given situation. But depression is sneaky and mostly uses our own brain against us.

So please, I encourage you to click the above link and visit the website, and then to simply chat with someone. There are a lot of people who can help you, you don't have to struggle alone.

You are strong, and even if you feel terrified, you are still reaching out, still fighting, still trying. I'm so proud of you, wonderful. You are doing a great job. You don't have to show inhuman persistence anymore. You can ask for help, you can receive it, and you can recover. You really don't have to suffer in silence, lovely. And you can survive it.

Sending you all of my strength ❤️

@Celaeno unfortunately i had bad mood today, it happens up and down always within weeks, days, my mood so uncontrollable.

1 reply
Celaeno February 13th, 2016

@pinkTea, when you have mood swings it feels like you have no control over yourself and it is causing you pain. In the same way, it also gives you a somewhat hope, because whenever the hard time knock you over, you can be sure that the better one is ahead.

Have you been monitoring your moods to see if there is a pattern to it? This can enormously help you to notice and counter the triggering moments.

It really sucks when you do nothing wrong but people say you do and leave you for it :/

Celaeno February 9th, 2016

@michaelross12, I agree. Forcing you to take a blame for something you can't hold any responsibility for is completely unfair. And such a treatment hurts. A lot.

I'm glad that you've reached out to tell us about it.
