Introduce yourself.

Umm Hi, so I'm kinda one of those people that are the oxygen wasters and energy users of the world that don't really give back to society. I dunno I'm just looking for some support because some nights I just want to end it all but like I think there is something to live for sometimes? I dunno like my boyfriend is kinda the only thing that I have hope about because he makes me smile and laugh but during the times he doesnt talk to me or is away I feel anxious and I think if he breaks up with me I'll crumble because not talking to him for like a few hours causes me to cry uncontrabbly and I don't know what's wrong with me so yeah Umm hi?

Hi! I'm Mei and I was under depression for perhaps since i was very young, along with anxiety disorder and borderline personality disorder. I found out about it when i had my breakdown during my college time. I was under therapy and medication for 2 years and was diagnosed for psychotic depression which I heard voices who kept saying how worthless I was.Things have been a lot better since I got the therapy. I am still having my ups and down quite a lot but I'm working on it. It is so nice to hear that I am not alone struggling with this, and that there are always people who will reaching out to you when you are feeling down. Nice to meet you :)

Hello, I'm new here, I've read most of your threads and I realized I'm pretty strong for a 17 year old. I've been through so many traumatic events in my life and I've fought anxiety for quite a while. I was able to control my suicidal thoughts because I realized I really do love myself enough to get through this. I'm still trying to gain enough courage to seek help. I know I'll get through it, we all can.

My name is Quinn and I often feel as though my anxiety and depression are getting worse. It's really tiring to deal with feeling numb yet feeling everything intensely at the same time. I can never tell someone how intense it gets out of fear that they'll think I'm exaggerating or something, then abandon me.

My name is Rylee, I've been suffering with depression since I was about, I think I was 11, when my dad got sick and was put into the hospital. I didn't know how to control it so the only thing I've thought of then was to self-harm. I self-harmed until about four months ago and I am now 15. I came to my mom and talked to her about my depression but she thought it was a phase, it took her a while until she believed me and got me into my therapy, but I could only get sessions because of her work. It's been a while since we stopped with that, but therapy helped, but since it's gone, I'm just getting depressed again. It's difficult being around people who don't understand why you're so tired all the time, or why you stay isolated. Depression has affected me and my girlfriends relationship not so badly seeing as though she suffers from depression too. She helps me when I get bad and I help her. Depression has affected me in school though, it has been so bad for me that I've taken up online school because my anxiety gets so bad and I get depressed just being there because teachers at my old school didn't care enough to get to know me. oh wow this is long I'm so sorry But out of all of this I'm getting better slowly with the help of some friends, music, my dad, and my girlfriend, live concerts too.

Hi I'm Rebecca... I've had disordered eating for around 2 years now but last summer it got really bad and I fell into serious restriction...

Hi, my name is Natalie and I'm currentlyslogging through the longest and darkestdepressiveepisodes of my life to date (I called a crisis hotline for the first time in my life about a week ago).

I ran out of my medication when I returned home after finishing mythird year of university, and now have to deal with theaftermath of a year ofliving with a sociopathic roommate, applying as a transfer student to only one other schoolin relative secrecy, and realizing that music performance was not the right path during my third year at aconservatory.

Physically, I feel gross in my own skin.I gained about 15 pounds within a few months, and my attempts to lose thatweighthave been slow andarduous, and theposivititythat I've spent the better part of twoyears building melted away into a constant parade ofself-loathing, self-harmingimpulses.

Emotionally, I'm a wreck. I am constantly irritated,my impulse to cry is on a hairtrigger, and my self-doubtregarding social interactions is making mestraight-upparanoid.Thisisdespite the news that I wasaccepted to the university that I applied to (YAY!).

I feel deeply guilty that even though my life is much better than it has been for months and I got accepted to my dream school, I still feel like jumping off tall buildings without aparachute.

I'm hoping that,through the support of this community, Ican learn to rebuild myself.

Hi all. I've been dealing with depression/anxiety stuff for a lot of college (and probably some of high school, but I didn't really have the self-awareness to put the pieces together), but I've been having a really rough period recently. I graduated about a month and a half ago, and it seems like while everyone I know has been moving forward, I've just been stagnating--sitting alone at my parents' house applying day after day for jobs that don't call me back. It seems like everyone else is having such an exciting time that to be honest, I don't really see the point in my own life. I'm trying to take care of myself more than usual, but I've just been spending all day in these dumb depressed fogs where nothing seems good and everything is a lot of work. :(
