depression

Hi all! I am posting this here for the first time in a long while, since I want some more opinions before I make an expensive appointment with my psychiatrist (in my experience, they don't typically take your concerns into consideration much :( ). So, I am looking to get on medication again...

Anyone else feel like not letting go of depression? Have yet to find anyone who holds onto depression and just lets it eat you away like my brain does. I constantly tell myself I don't need to talk to a doctor about it since they'll just rid it off. My sensible part of my brain tells me to stop...

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I need advice that will actually work. Something I haven't heard before. I applogize if my post comes across as sounding snarky, I'm just tired and desperate. I have had clinical depression for several years. In this time, I have seen therapists, taken...

Hey everyone, I hope you're doing well. I'm trying all that I can to help myself, although I'm very sad right now. My family members all tell me I'm the apple of their eye, and that they love me more than anything. It's just that, I have OCD, and everyday is such a struggle, I continue on in...

I seem to have all the symptoms associated with this type of depression below except for the "leaden paralysis" feeling. Sleeping too much (hypersomnia) Increased appetite or weight gain Having a more intense reaction or increased sensitivity to rejection, resulting in problems with social...

SHORT VERSION: Anyone here in a close situation? PROLOGUE: I am writing this fast because my mind is moving very fast on this subject. It probably will be hard to read. I posted this on a different subreddit and then got shy and deleted it and I forgot what subreddit it was so now I am posting...

I am not a morning person, I never have been. I have the hardest time waking up in the morning, EVEN when I do get ENOUGH sleep at night. I just don't have a good enough reason to wake up. I really don't care about my life. I always hated going to school and now work is just impossible to wake...

It’s been a long day God. I whispered your name for help every seconds of the day. Did You hear my cry for help? It’s hard to keep faith when everything is going south. I feel everything around me is crumbling down. I’m drowning and i can’t breathe. I just wanted to come home and run to You, and...

Hello forum members, in the last time I'm really often depressed and in bad mood. I've less money, no friends, no graduation... And 2 days ago I was robbed at the train station and I lost my pocket including important things like Perso, Credit Card, Money etc. I hate myself, I've stuck of...

Just wanted to make an update, in case anyone else struggles with this sort of thing. I posted a while ago about my ex-boyfriend who broke up with me a few months ago when i told him i was depressed when i was drunk, which caused him to sexually assault me and then break up with me in a really...

I've been taking citalopram for about 2 months, and went away a few days ago and completely forgot to take it with me. I left on Friday, so i haven't taken it for 6 days now, and aren't going home until next week. I had been starting to feel better since starting anti-depressants, but now feel...

Trying to deal with the loss of my son. I lost my first born a few years ago and I thought I was coping well. Recently I have took what seems like numerous steps backwards. I've become quiet again, ignoring people and ducking out on any interaction I can avoid. I'm usually a quiet and reserved...

in fact it gets worse... Hello, that's basically my second thread on this forum. In a way i feel i should just write something and maybe someone will respond. I don't know what life is to be honest. It's 6 am here right now, i can't even sleep, i just stayed awake all night. i'm tired of all of...

I just want to feel like I'm loved for who I am, quirks, bad habits and all. I'm not a very easy person to get along with at times and I know this, but I genuinely mean well and care about people. But I feel like I don't get much in return. I have a significant other (boyfriend) and it's even...

For whatever reason sometimes it feels nice to share thoughts with strangers so I felt like sharing... Here's something I just wrote out: People are quick to let you know, they know how you feel But they don't Do you know how it feels to live the worst day of your life over and over? Do you...

Dear *******, I was trying not to be a crazy person who messages their ex, especially after such a long time, but there’s just a few things that I feel like I need to do. I wrote this ages ago and didn’t plan on sending it at all, but my shrink encouraged me to if I think it will help me. I...

Hi guys. This is my first thread and post on this site. I hope you guys can help me. I don't want to run away from my problems anymore or let my mind go to that scary place where some sick voice starts convincing me that suicide is an answer. I want to reach out. When I was 11 years old, I came...

So. I've stared to really start to think about going to a therapist or first talking to my doctor. Anyway I want to hear how did you guys first go to your doctor and what did you say to him/her. Am I just gonna walk in and be like "I'm depressed and want therapy"??

I'm so exhausted with the amount of emotional battering I've taken from my girlfriend over the last 2 years. She's verbally aggressive, conscending, belitteling, sarcastic, cruel and judgemental. It doesn't happen all the time, but enough to make me feel like nothing at times. I've just felt so...

I don't really know where to begin with this. I have a personality disorder that makes it hard for me to connect with people on an emotional level sometimes. And I feel like it's affecting my relationship negatively. My partner has bipolar depression and for the last several months, things have...
