Depression Community - How do you actually feel today?
Due to my depression, I feel like I've been a burden to people. My friends and girlfriend don't want to listen to me being all sad. I cut to release pain.
@EllieDW, I feel the same, like I'm a burden to my friends and partner. But keeping it inside is causing such panic for me. I drink to try and numb the pain but I know it's only making me worse.
@mellyworm84 I'm sorry that you feel this way too. I hope you find someone that you can tell all your problems to on 7 cups. We'll get through this :)
@EllieDW hello :)
I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through, it must be really hard, to feel like a burden to people, but you're not to the once who love you, I'm sure they're willing to help you if you let them, and self abuse doesn't solve anything, you're hurting your body and soul, which don't deserve that because they're already in pain. if you need to talk more you know how to contact me. I hope you feel better soon.
I'm so anxious. I haven't been this unwell for over a year. I thought I'd been so strong, I feel broken.
@mellyworm84
Sometimes i feel strong with my plastered fake smile. Everyone is fooled by something so simple.
But why do i feel so empty inside. I actually want ny friends to care. Im slowly becoming tired for being strong. Strength has its limits. If only they knew. Sometimes i dont want to be strong for a moment. But if i do that i will be a burden. Will someone accept me for resting abit?
Do you feel the same as me? Am i the only one feeling like this?
@jeslyn I feel exactly the same. I feel like I've been strong for so long for myself and others, and it's crippling. My body is actually telling me it can't be strong anymore. I am trying to listen to it but I just feel like I need to keep face. It's exhausting. I think one thing I've learnt helping those in need is that we need time for ourselves to keep well- but doing it is the difficult thing.
@mellyworm84
We feel contented helping others. So much that sometimes we feel that we dont deserve help our ourselves if we are helping others.
Its tiring. I love being with friends or people, but its sad that its gotten to the point that i feel peace when im alone. I dont have to lie when theres no one around.
We are mentally aware yet at the same time, we couldnt help feeling this way.
I know it's easier said then done, but don't be so depress, life is simple take it day by day
Life is full of joy
Alright but there all small things but are upsetting me.
Today I feel a lot better and motivated to catch up on some work and work on myself. Today I plan and hope to complete my plan by working out and reading a book I have to write a paper over for school that's due Tuesday !
I feel lost, overwhelmed, and fatigued. But today is better than yesterday.
I feel sad, hopeless and alone. And tired. So very, very tired.
Alone. Like I'm in a deep hole of emptiness and there's no way to get out. On the outside I have everything and I seem happy but on the inside, I'm filled with regret, sadness, emptiness, confused, terrible and alone. I feel like in short form, no one knows.
@Roses132
Hi roses. It's the worst thing to be alone.
I understand if you want to talk I'm here.
I feel alone. I wish I could find out why.
Hope your ok.
So I tried to talk about my depression a little bit today with a old friend but I just found it so hard to speak with out crying, I needed to stop talking or I wasn't going to be okay
@peachSailboat2974
I identify so much. I feel like I'm bad at therapy because trying to talk about stuff just seems impossible. But peoplr always say that sometimes crying is good, even though it feels awful. And most friends dont mind so much if you cry, i would think?
