depression

We broke up about a month ago now, and i haven't spoken to him since, except for last week when i asked if he wanted his stuff back. I don't know if i'm over reacting, i'm aware that tonnes of people have been through way worse in terms of relationships and in sexual assault, which i'm not even...

Basically, I got really drunk when i went out with my boyfriend and his friends clubbing a few weeks ago, and i cried and told him that i hated myself and that i couldn't cope with everything anymore. Even worse, i was so drunk that i don't remember doing it. Then 4 days later after being really...

Just wondered what other people think... when you've gone through such heart-wrenching pain and overwhelming challenges in life for most of your life that you've wanted to end it and have planned to at various times, but didn't, and so you can feel a sense of strength that you've chosen to fight...

n Hi All I am really stuck on to what to do with various situations in my life. Friday/Saturday On Friday i was at going to the art cafe (which i don’t really enjoy but i turn up for the cheap tea and coffee) and i was told by the nurse who runs it that due to my panic attack the previous...

There is an old thread about this, but it got locked. :( Back in the day, there was an online version of the BDC that would tally up your scores for you, but I can't find it anymore. Here is a current one, but you'll have to do the math yourself: Burns Depression Checklist. Obviously, a...

Aaaah! I don't want to feel it and I shouldn't feel this way at this age (30s) but I find myself plunging into a whole host of emotions from anger, depression, upset and self loathing when I see a friend has done something fun, gone on a trip or organised something and I'm not included. I can...

Hello, everyone. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this post, I'm not very familiar with forums. I'm in a really tough situation at the moment. I'm in a V-poly relationship in which my live-in partner of many years and my new metamour both have depression, suicidal thoughts and...

Im on my last semester, and im always on my last semester. what remains to finish is a recital and my thesis. I feel so tired doing things I dont like, which is my music composition the recital. It is just a music composition is something that has to be honest from the person itself, but my...

My thoughts are going wild. My anxiety is high. My thoughts gravitate towards SH and suicidal urges. They came on strong this time. Its only been 3 days since my anxiety has peaked and stayed peaked. But its like the thoights are mpre freauents stronger. I have a hard time denying them. I gave...

For as long as I can remember, I've found that good experiences give me just a little, fleeting pleasure when I remember them, but bad experiences are very painful to remember, and the mood they put me in can persist whether I like it or not. I think I learned not to think too much about...

Hello, friends! I was wondering if anyone had experience with opening up about mental illness with friends/acquaintances. I'm not in the best of places right now and as per every "Suicide Prevention/Depression" pamphlet, I want to avoid isolating myself and try to find comfort in others...

I am on three different medicines; Latuda, Lamictal and Zoloft. I have bipolar, depression and anxiety. When I am really stressed the voices start. There's one main voice that calls me stupid when I make a mistake and says really inappropriate things to me. I don't know how to shut them up, I...

Okay.. to everyone reading (If anyone) I'm trying. Yeah I'm not doing so well but for the first time in a while I think I understand life goes on. I'm currently skipping class & I know not good. But I'm out in nature smoking (also not so good I know) but just sitting here taking in nature even...

Throughout my life, I've been Depressed, Suicidal, and diagnosed with OCD, Anxiety, Anorexia, and so on. I've always been really bad at asking for help and fairly resistant to the idea of going on medication (because of bad experiences being medicated too strongly when I was too young.) Now...

I am a pretty functional adult (I hope that word isn't stigmatizing to other people) except when it comes to breakups. I am almost thirty and despite having had several serious breakups, each and every one makes me feel like I'm going to die. My gf broke up with me a couple nights ago. It was...

So, having told my story in brief in another post, I thought I would spend some time reflecting upon what it actually feels like to be mental. I don't mean for that to sound flippant - it's simply my way of dealing with it. And because I imagine this is going to be somewhat cathartic, I'm going...

So I take Seroquel at night for sleep. I makes me drowsy and I fall asleep. I often wake up once around 3-4 am and then fall back asleep. Lately I have been waking up multiple times in the night. It's leaving me tired. Does this happen to others? Anyone have tips?

Hiya All I was wondering if you can help me, when i am with a certain chap I am constantly manic/depressed mentally and emotionally and often there's no reason to be like it or it's because he's been pissing me off. However, when I am at home, I put on a happy face but inside I am really...

Things that work for me Scenarios Let's say I am having a bad day and feeling really fed up with daily life and are feeling really bored or feeling really low and depressed but have no urges to harm or anything serious. Then a range of distractions help to get through the period I am having...

2016 has been a huge fucking emotional rollercoaster. I was always afraid to be happy because every single moment of happiness was always the calm before the storm. It all started in January: college finals were coming up and I was studying hard as hell to pass all the classes with flying...
