Hi, I'm new here.

I don't know myself anymore. I think I've never actually known the real me. I'm scared to do anything. I don't know how to talk to people openly, even with my close friends and family. I don't know what to do. Sometimes I feel like it would be better if I'm not here but then I can never end my life because I'm scared to do that too. I feel like a complete failure.

@ashh9 hllo ash! Im sorry you're going thru this... see sometimes its hard for us to speak with other people.. because we dont even understand whats going on in our heads (at least in my case) but eventually you will figure it out. Hang on, no need for suicidal thoughts , dont be too harsh on yourself. ❤️

Hello all,

I'm fairly new here and I suppose I should introduce myself a bit. I've had depression off and on for a while now that's tied into my ADHD, and while most of the time things are manageable, sometimes they're not. About a year ago I lost my grandfather who I was really close to, and that grief plus depression plus anxiety from this pandemic has really done a number on me & my usual coping strategies weren't working quite as well. I'm also terrible at actually reaching out for help, so finding this platform has been a huge help so far.

In happier facts about me, my favorite color's red; I have 2 cats; my favorite ice cream is butter pecan, and if I could be a tree I'd be an oak tree.

TheAutumnWitch November 17th, 2020

Hi everyone,

I'm TheAutumnWitch, but you can call me "Autumn" or "Witch" for short. I joined this website about a couple of weeks ago thanks to being referred here by the NSPL, but only now did I gather enough nerve to post to this thread. I'm constantly in battle against my high-functioning depression, anxiety, nightmares, sleep paralysis and suicidal thoughts. I don't know how long it'll take to put an end to this mental war, but I'm not going down without a fight.

That asides, I've been getting familiar with the Sharing Circle, which has been helping quite nicely. I might not always be present in the group chats- yes, I need breaks from socializing even online- but I'm starting to lurk around on the forums, so maybe you'll see me every here and there. Don't worry; I'm a harmless witch, haha. My offensive spells solely target mental demons.

Thanks for reading. Toodle-oo!
