Introduce yourself.

Hello, my name is Faye. My depression had been starting about three years ago. It all started because of my father's death and then school decided to be a stupid jerk towards me. I got bullied "indirectly" by a teacher and some of my friends (I doubt if I even have to call them my friends). I have been absolutely lonely and getting this anxiety and panic attacks.

Hi, it's 1:22 AM, new member here on this website, sorry if my english is kinda bad, still learning.

My name is Marlon, I'm a 16 y/o teen with depression, I'm trying to be happy but it's really hard.

I want to make new friends in here, I really do but I am kinda socially-awkward and I think that's why people always leave me.

Anyway, I hope I can meet new people here, I hope this website can help me with my severe depression.

I suffer from depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety.

I've tried to kill myself 3 times, life is hard.

-M.

My names Matt. I'm 19 years old. I play guitar in a band. I love metal/hardcore. Life fucking sucks.

Hi, I'm Celaeno. I am an university student, trying to finish master's degree.

For the second time I have depression and this time is harder. Although I don't get suicidal, I just get paralyzed and have troubles with simple daily activities. My doctor said that I'm at risk to be bipolar and that scares me. I hope to find other gentle, tormented souls here.

Sending love to all of you!

Hi I'm Mae. I'm 22, just graduated from undergrad, and I don't know exactly when I first started feeling depressed. After being in and out of therapy (but mostly in) for 5.5 years, I only 9 months ago received a diagnosis of (possibly childhood in addition to adult) depression and started medication. So far I've responded well but I'm still dealing with anxiety about my future, career, health, etc. Things are still crazy but I feel like I'm on the way to taking better care of myself :)

Hi, my name is Lyn. I have suffered from depression since I was 14 - I am now 55. I wasn't diagnosed until my thirties. I felt suicidal off and on most of my young adulthood. Self medicating with pot and alcohol was how I managed for most of that time. In my twenties I married and had two children, happy time of my life. As I moved into my thirties, lots of suicidal ideation, finally sought help and have taken antidepressants since. About the same time my husband took a job in another state, my children left for college, bad times which really have continued since.

My name is Dina! I am 17 and I just started my senior year. I don't usually stand out much, and I guess my idsue is the world doesn't seem to stand out in anyway to me anymore. It is all so dull. And it's probably a young age to feel like that but I feel very old and tired. I love drawing from the bottom of my heart and I want to be an animator.

My name is Necro, I'm 24 years old and almost done with college. I suffer from bipolar 2 disorder. I haven't seen a therapist in awhile, so no medication. I've been in a really dark place and I don't really have a support system. I read a lot of these type of forums and I keep feeling worse for how I feel. I'm nothing but first world problems.

I'm Aiko, I'm 17 yo and I was adopted from China when I was 1 yo. I have an illness which paralizes parts of my body (any parts) and schizophrenia, so I have been depressed since I was a child. I got pregnant last year and had twins in June and now I'm pregnant again, nice to meet you all and thanks for reading all that shit...

Hi,

I am new here. I am 29 and have had depression for about 15 years. I turn 30 soon and realise I haven't pushed myself enough to get out of this, and it's about time I do. People like to tell me their twenties were the best years of their life, and this makes me cringe. I am hoping to make my thirties (and onwards) the best they can be. I feel like I have missed out on so much. I am trying to make it happen now.
