Hi i am Maddie Grace and I am 14 I live in the US and I am just getting over trying to commit suicide and I am in deep depression and I barely have any friends. Please help.
Hi. i am suffering from depression and low self esteem. i have been married 20yrs and have two grown kids. I tried to commit suicide a couple months ago and obviously failed miserably. i still have days I wish it had worked. there are just so many issues to mention but here is the short version. drug abuse, a husband that accuses me of cheating (with different people) everyday (along with many other issues), my nephew passing away and having to see the man that raped me at the age of 6 there and acting like nothing ever happened. i used to be a strong and happy person. now i am a shell of the woman i used to be. i have no insurance so i can't afford treatment.
Hi hopeless4ever, I hope you can find a clinic near you that will offer treatment at a scaling rate so that you can get the help you deserve. You might look into state disability at your local family services department so that you can get insurance, medicaid.
There are great listeners on this site and a great community in forums and chat. Don't be afraid to reach out. Keep up the good fight and find your way through this!
Hey, I'm Jenna. I'm 17, 18 in three months, which I can't wait for! I haven't been diagnosed with anything at all since I haven't told my parents about my struggling but I've been depressed for five years, suicidal too for most of the time. I also struggle with anxiety a lot. I moved away from home when I was 15 to go to a school that's specialised in music in another town, and since that I've been doing a lot better. Of course there's worse times but at least I'm not suicidal anymore. I sing, play the piano and the guitar and I also write music myself. That's about it.
Hi, I'm Ohud, Im suffering from social phobia, im scared of socializing, it reached the point that it destroyed my study life, Right now, I'm feeling depressed about what coming next and what this phobia going to destroy. Can someone help me?
Hi, I'm new to this so I'm not too sure how it works. I just wanted to let you know you are not alone, I'm in a similar situation to you but I find strength in being here as I know that we are not truly alone in this suffering xx
Hello my name is Ana, I'm 23 andfrom Melbourne. I have been struggling with depression and and anxiety since I was 17 but wasn't diagnosed until I was 18. Some days are okay I think just physically it's hard like feeling tired and soreand down all the time. I was volunteering for two years and during that time I was doing really well. But coming back home has been really hard. But I joined here to start my recovery process, and to chat to people who understand it, so this is one of the first small steps of many to come. Yeah I guess nice to meet you guys.
It's nice to meet you as well. If you like volunteering, you could also be a great listener here in my opinion. Best of luck to you!
Hey, I am 23 years old and i have been battling with depression and anxiety since i can remember. the past year or so has been really difficult for me, although i have stopped using drugs and have cut down on alcohol i am really struggling to cope with work, i am really glad i found this site as i dont really have anyone to talk to and spend most of my nights alone.
Hi, I have only just found this app and so far I am loving the idea of it! So - I'm from the UK and have recently been signed off work because of my anxiety and low mood (which is a viscous circle because that then brings with it more anxiety and low mood!) am awaiting a CBT phone appointment and a follow up GP appointment to see how my increased meds are helping. I just feel like I'm milking it, and everyone feels like this so I should get on with it. Also that the world hates me!!
hey, how did you do about getting signed off work? i have lost 4 jobs due too my mental health and i think it could be time to surrender and work on getting better
I'm sorry Iv only just seen your reply. I have been suffering with anxiety on and off since about 2010 and have been on meds since then. I went to the gp a few weeks ago as I've had a seven week headache :/ and she signed me off for a week (I asked her to because I couldn't get up and out because of the headaches) She also upped my meds. I went back a couple of weeks later because I still had the headache (still got it now!) and I saw someone else. He has upped my meds again, referred me for CBT and told me he was signing me off for four weeks because he said I need to concentrate on myself, and not stress at the end of the week that I have to feel better quickly. I have found that if i talk to them honestly and tell them what I would like they are usually very nice and accommodating. I'm in the UK, I don't know if that makes a difference xx
Hi I'm Bia I'm from Ecuador south America I'm 23 and I'm not a happy person but I try every morning. ... I'm a dentist and all I want is visit England one day.
@Bia,
Aw, that's wonderful you have a dream to visit England one day. I'm sure you'll be seeing England soon, please believe it!
Hi Bia - I'm a newbie too. I'm sorry to hear ur feeling unhappy but your honesty is refreshing! I too struggle w/ being happy. For work I must 'act' upbeat and happy, but really I feel tired and sometimes blue. I'm face to face with customers, and usually it's uplifting. But yesterday ws beat up verbally by one, so...exhausted today.
i know what its like to pretend your happy when your not.
