Hello, I am Kim. I am 25 and I live in Belgium. Honestly I am not good at introducing myself, since I don't find myself particularly interesting. I am just a sad person looking for something to hold on to. I used to have many interests, but I seem to have lost the drive to pursue any of them. I just sleep, eat and worry... But hey, I will survive this!

Hi, I'm Chelsea. I'm 23 and just finished my first year teaching in Georgia. To get the job, I had to move about five hours from everyone I know. I'm isolated most of the time and am trying to fix it, but it's hard to meet people. I often feel like I'd rather sleep or go off on some outdoor adventure...which is fun to do solo, but not all the time. My biggest fear is that I'll slip back into my "bad days" in college, when I was in therapy, trying medications, and calling out of work "sick" because of my depression. But hey, I'm trying to stay positive. The world's a beautiful place, and as long as I have feet and eyes to explore it, there's a silver lining, right?

I am currently in a sticky situation. I have been married to my hubby for 10 years. I have followed him all over the world in the military. I was informed recently he isn't happy. He has lots of anger and grieving over death in family issueS. Yet is refusing to get any help. He has shut myself and our son off completely. I am at a loss. I feel like I am the reason why all this mess is happening. I gave up everything to follow him. Why won't he at least try and get help?

I'm sorry your going through this. I don't know what I would do. My brother recently went through this. She tried to stick it out and talk and talk. Eventually they separated for a few months but today (a year and a half later. No conventional therapy) They are happier than ever.

I hope your situation ends up a positive!

Hi, my name is Hanna, I'm 15. I've been suffering from depression and anxiety for almost 2 years now, but nobody really knows the extent of my problems because I'm scared of driving people away.

I've been suffering from depression as well & I was scared of the same thing & I found out that they'll always be someone who genuinely cares & will be there for you no matter what Don't be afraid open up & express yourself

rozie July 3rd, 2015

Hello Hanna, I think what you are saying is avery normal response to living with an illness like depression. We need people alongside us so much,yet we fear that they will be driven away or overwhelmed by all this. So then we are inclined to keep quiet and withdraw which is depriving us of the comfort and support we need from others. My own experience tells me there will be those peoplewho are able to be there for you no matter what, and there will also be those who are not able to do this and that'sokay. So please be encouraged to seek the support you need and entrust your story to those who can walk with you through this.

Hello, I'm Suzy.I can't remember when I was diagnosed with depression. I joined 7 cups because lately I have started to doubt if I am really "depressed" or if I have some other problem. Why hasn't therapy worked? Why isn't medicine working? I thought maybe other people have experienced this.

Hi my name is Hannah. I'm 18. I'm brand new on this site. I've been suffering with depression and anxiety for a while now. The combination is sometimes hard to deal with. At the moment I feel okay, but I always worry about getting back to when I was at my lowest.

Hi, my name is Kat. I've been suffering with depression, anxiety, self harm, exc. I had anxiety ever since I was little and I got depression really bad about a year ago. I've been self harming ever since my depression got worse When I finally told people about that, I got sent to a mental hospital a few months ago.
