I like my space and being able to spend at least a little bit of time a day just hanging out with myself. I like to write. Some of my poetry is in my journal. I've been struggling with depression for pretty much as long as I can remember. There are a number of different roots that I've traced my issues back to. I was diagnosed at age 18 with MDD - first time I ever went to therapy. Since then I have been trying a variety of coping methods, but I have never tried anti-depressants. I just don't think they're right for me.. but lately I've been thinking they might be necessary, as I am going through the longest lasting episode since the time I went to therapy when I was 18.

Waves of mercy
Long since past
Lost in seas
Dark and vast

The tide rolls strong
The scent is death
The body, pure
Scarred …
Thanks for the Hug. I am new to the site and I already feel welcomed. I thought I was the only one depressed in the world! Maybe I need to leave my world more often. Take care of yourself.

Hey! I just wanted to say I know being on your own is tough, but try to stay positive. Maybe keeping in touch w/ you famly could be good for you. Just remember you have us on DS and an Almighty God to guide you. I hope you have a better day today. Love Peace and Happiness to you!!!!
Bet you are glad to have that paper done and over with! Geez lots of work!
I am doing ok today. Very tired, though have been sick, so it is just taking forever to get back to "normal". Having fibromyalgia and then being sick on top of it, really sends the body into shock it seems. Anyway, things are calm with the ex right now. He is being too nice in fact. Well it is the cycle. He blows, then he's nice for a while, then the tension builds, and he blows, then he's nice..... At least he is predictable. lol Oh well, glad I don't have to listen to him on a daily basis anymore.
The boys are doing great, had 3 friends over after school today, so it was fun. Earlier today I have a girlfriend from my group abuse counseling come over to my house to visit so that was nice.
How are you today? Hope all is well.
I'm 23 and I have been struggling with depression off and on for pretty much as long as I can remember. I've been to therapy a few times, and I learned a lot. When I am depressed I often feel really really guilty, regardless what choices I make. It's really hard.
I started cutting myself when I was in late grade school. I was being tormented daily by my classmates and did not know how to deal with the pain. I started scratching and pinching myself so I could feel something else. Slowly this habit evolved into cutting myself with razorblades. I cut all through highschool whenever I was depressed. In college my roommate walked in on me when I had just finished cutting. Thats when I decided to quit. I still slip up but I hate it when I do
I have been in University for 4 years now. I have one year left after this. I love school, but I am really bad for letting the stress get to me. I've had a mental breakdown about once a year since starting University. I know it is because I put too much pressure on myself, but if I stop putting the pressure on I will lose my motivation to do as well as I do (I get good grades) and then I will be disappointed in myself which will be much more harmful in the end to my mental health...
