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
My name is Julia, I'm 14, and I've been suffering from loneliness for almost as long as I can remember, which developed into depression in March. My parents made me go to counseling, but I wouldn't talk to her, so now I'm here. I'm hoping for some kind of change, but I've learned that with me, hope is usually false.
I've also played viola for a while, which is kind of important and I forgot to say. I used to write a lot, but my family disappoved and I can't find the intrinsic motivation to do it anymore.
Hi Julia- You sound so much like me! I'm older now, but started writing poems and songs at age 10. It's so theraputic to express ourselves. It in itself helps us deal with what we are feeling. I encourage you to do it just for you! Do u have a Half price bookstore near you? They have good quality journals there :) Or good ole spiral notebooks work ♡
i suffer very bad depression i fill like no one gets it. except my consoler and peopile that suffer it them selfs

Hi, I'm Emily I'm 20 years old and I suffer from major depressive disorder and a few other things. I'm not sure why I'm here or what it's going to do for me, but it's worth a shot. I've been though a lot, I've been though attempts of ending my own life. I have a slight drug issue, and well life is looking worse than ever before.
@EmmThePandaa,
I'm so sorry to hear that.
I sincerely hope you get help from a professional or even a listener here and get better shortly.
Hi Emily, nice to meet u. When i ws 13 my UIL competition entry was a 5 page suicide letter! A friend talked me into performing this. I ws so nervous I read it too quickly, and ws disqualified. I was so upset, tore it up. At the same time my father ws a non supportive thorn to my heart. But, age 20 that option was presented to me but I rejected it. A year later I cried out to God and He responded by changing my life, best day ever. Depression actually cause one to think it's the 'only' option. My challenge is to let it " talk to the hand" as they say. This feeling is bad but it is temporary and it does not...define me. This is my self talk. How are u feeling today?
Hi, I'm Parker. I've been in the chats but not the forum yet.. Anyway, I've never been diagnosed but I'm sure I'm depressed, and struggle in particular with loneliness and confusion in a lot of aspects of identity and life in general.
Hi Parker, great name. Loneliness, check - feel that alot of days. Whether your young or older it's unpleasant. What do you to combat it? Our choices, I think, are critical. Alot of folks, and me too, might have a glass of wine or a cocktail for the soothing effect, but then, it's also a depressant! That's the last...thing I want! So, if you are consistently feeling depressed...where it's not just situational... may be good to consider seeing Psychologist. Mine ws so painful and heavy, getting on a medication undoubtedly saved my life. I'm usually more joist oriented and have never liked or done drugs but depression is a theft...stealing your joy. Making u not like yourself. I hope you are finding something of lightness and joy today. Blessings.
its not alweys not liking your self youve got that wong. every ones is different mine is sadness and up and down moods. but i like my self i just fill sad a lot and not lisoned to and not emoshnolly cared for. and i dont fill like i get enuff emoshnole suport
Hi, I'm not really sure if I'm depressed, because although I do exhibit some of the common symptoms like persistent sadness and constant fatigue,it may be inaccurate to self-diagnose over the internet, right? Then again my best friend said that I seem to besuffering from clinical depression (he has a sister who has severe depression so I suppose he'd know)...

Hi my name is Cody. I've been suffering from depression for about a year and a half. I feel, as of late, that it's only gotten worse. My "family" think that I'm overthinking it, I'm not. I don't have support at home, they think I'll be fine a week from now, I never am. I've never been taken seriously. I'm in the deepest hole I've ever been in, I can't find a job, people don't have faith in me and on top of all of this I'm about 80 lbs overweight. I cry everyday hoping my pain will just flow away with the tears, it doesn't. I've never poured my guts out like this before. I always had to much pride, but I'm desperate.
Hi, my name's Rory, I'm 17 and from Ireland. I've been dealing with depression for the last year. I've overcome a lot of the biggest issues like self-harm and suicidal thoughts, now it's more anxiety I have to deal with. I'm still in school and I'm worried about going to college next year. My self-esteem is also still really low.
