depression

Hi All I was wondering if anyone can help me out as I am really struggling with an anxiety issue that is really impacting on my life. I am really struggling with going out to social places, meeting people and it's definitely impacting on mental health. I grew up with not many friends to really...

I have a appointment to the therapist on July 5 and I'm thinking of telling him just how bad my thoughts of suicide has gotten and how easy it would be for me to succeed in it. The thing is, I know it'll lead to me being put in a hospital but at the same time I sort of feel like I should go...

My entire life can be summed up as a series of miseries with occasional short breaks never lasting more than a few months. -Born -Big brother would hit me as soon as I could crawl (video evidence) -Dad had bad temper... -Just as my dad started easing off I started getting bullied at school...

I am feeling so miserable tonight. My RA (rhemuatoid arthritis) is terrible lately- I am in constant physical pain that is driving me out of my mind. I keep taking pills to help but nothing works for very long. Pretty soon I'm going to need a walker everywhere I go and I already need a...

On the surface everything in my life has been working out. The new job I started last week is going well and is keeping me busy and I know to my friends and family I seem happier. Maybe it is also my fault for pretending to be happier. However I still feel like I don't belong here. I've been...

I apologise to all if this is triggering and for the length of this post, but this has been something that has been playing on my mind for a long time and I really feel like I need to discuss it to get it out of my system. I have suffered with suicidal ideation many times over the past 12 or so...

Please do not read if you are easily offended or triggered. I realise that the majority of us here on this forum will have diagnosed and undiagnosed mental health problems. Many of us will have had terrible things happen to us in our past that have traumatised us that shape the person who we...

Ok so I learned something about myself in the past year and I wanna let it out here about personal "triggers". People always tell me talking helps and it does but some topics upset me and it has a negative effect. I have social anxiety and depression so for me, if you talk about or pressure me...

I never posted a topic in any forum, but I think, I'm at my limit I HATE MY LIFE.. all of the negative things that you can think may you see on me.. some people deserves honor if they did something good in a community. some people deserves a happy/good life if they are born in a right...

Sometimes I feel like I will feel the effects of the rape and sexual abuse forever. It has definitely changed me as a person and the way I see things. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be normal again and it all happened when I was so young that I don't think I was ever normal to begin with. I...

Yesterday I did one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I finally opened up to my parents about the sexual molestation I suffered at the hands of a coach and how badly it has affected me and how I wish that they had done more. They wish they had done more too (they found out a few years...

Hey. I've suffered with depression on and off since I was 18, I'm now 34. I've tried various anti-depressants and landed on Venlafaxine as it helped through one episode. Last year I sank into a severe depression that resulted in an attempt on my life, somewhat unconsciously - unplanned etc. I...

I constantly feel like my death is coming closer every waking moment. Sometimes I fear it, other times I welcome it and research ways to get it over with. <Mod Edit Methods> But I haven't gone through with it yet. I made a measly attempt half a year ago <Edit - Methods>, but it only left me...
