Introduce yourself.
Hi my name is Bec.
I have been suffering since I was 14.
Everyday is a struggle and recovery is a life long journey
I'm Ellie. I have been depressed for a year and a half now, but I refuse to go to a counselor. I know that not going isn't helping me, but I have no interest in going. At first, I struggled with self-harm, but I've been 3 and half months clean now. So basically, I cry a lot.
I'm Jenna. I have been struggling with depression for two years and self harm for the past five months. Yesterday I confessed to my mom that I had been cutting. I'm two weeks clean right now. I'm hoping to not relapse again.
stay strong. ❤️
Jenna I'm proud of you. Glad that you are taking steps to fight. Talking to your mother is a bg accomplishment. Don't give up. And 2 weeks is really good. Bless you :)
Hi, I'm Amber and I struggle with depression and anxiety. I used to see a school councillor, but she said she was going to move me onto someone else but she never did and I am way too scared to ask! A couple of days I decided to stop self-harming... So I'm only a few days clean, but now at least I've realised I want to recover. My username is amberthepsychic because my name is amber and it is also referring to a song about mental illness called Maya the Psychic by my favourite singer, Gerard Way. :)
I've recovered from self harm, and it can be difficult. The easiest way is to replace your cutting routine with something else, and to remember to be nice to yourself if you accidently slip up. I believe in you. :)

Hi I am Stacy, I have been suffering on and off for 10 years, ever since my pregnancy with my son. He is a treasure, but bring him into the world surfaced anxieties like I have never had before. the heights of fear, sadness, hatred.....I have lost a marriage over the anger inside me, I lost a job, I lost another long termrelationship since my marriage, I am trying to get my head on straight to finished my education, I feel like I need to talk regularly and I can not focus on anything except trying to heal, so far I dont feel like I am healing at all - I am ruminating!!!!! When will the pain go away?
Hi, my name is Kristen. I've been struggling with depression since the age of 13. I finally sought help after my family who doesn't believe in depression said I needed to get help. I had become more and more reserved, putting up a wall around myself and my peers and had stopped smiling. I struggled with feeling worthless and being a waste of my family's time and money. In going to therapy I had my own reservations, I didn't like the fact that I needed help. I wanted to be able to handle things on my own, but obviously it wasn't working. Going to get treatment has been one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. I'm not magically all better, and there are days where I still fall into a state of helplessness or numbness, but this is as close to happy as I've felt in years. If anybody needs someone to talk and vent to feel free to get in contact with me.
Hi Kristen, my family is like yours and I just started counselling too. I don't like it for the same reasons too but need the help so giving it a try
Hey, my name is Chrissy :)
I went into recovery for depression around 2 yearsago and since then I cant say its been easy but I've come a long way!
I mainly want to provide support for people still battling through this forum and I know a fair bitabout the UK mental health system if anyone from the UK needs someone to chat to. Im willing to provide support 1-1 for anyone who needs it also <3
I this weekend is it. After years of tormenting thoughts I've made the decision. It will finally be over. I have no one to tell because A. They don't care. B. THEY WOULD NEVER BELIEVE ME. I was just taking a bath and BAM...it hit me. This weekend is it. I feel relieved in a way. I am ready. To whoever sees this. It's ok. I am finally going to be pain free and shame free. Goodbye.
Please don't. It gets better it always does. I've been living with it for 7 years of depression, it gets better. Things may a little slow, but new things happen. May be a new person who will listen, or just a change in your outlook. Please talk to someone, I and many others would be willing to listen. Please don't stop trying.
20 years of depression and it doesn't get better. At least not for me. I tried a chat with a listener but he said he had to end the chat and told me to call a suicide line. Been there and done that. Oh well. Thanks for reading my note. Thank you.
Hey what's up?
Depression and anxiety is like being drunk or high. Your judgement becomes impaired when it's affecting you. Bad decisions you would regret start brewing in your head and you need to stop those thoughts before they get a chance to grow
