So, I thought I was doing so well... but maybe I'm not. I've been having suicidal thoughts again and don't know where to turn. My partner …

Support Groups
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI have had depression my entire life, since the age of 4 or 5. I have always been this way. I think it's due to a combination of child abuse (physical, emotional and mental), neglect, child sexual abuse, a string of adolescent abusive relationships, and the effects of these experiences.
Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- Very helpful but I wish I could've continued treatment--I had to leave therapy before I completed it.
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- It helps to calm my mind, but not too much.
- Positive Thinking Not Working
- Yeah. Not helpful at all.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- The most helpful aside from CBT. Of course it depends on the therapist...
- Support from Friends & Family Not Working
- No one really understands the depression itself.
- Writing Working / Worked
- Helpful but I go in and out, sometimes it pulls me in and makes it worse.
Close Sexual Abuse
I was a victim of child sexual abuse for a year, following 6 years of physical, emotional and mental abuse and neglect by my father (my whole life until he died of cancer).
Treatments
- Art Somewhat Helpful
- Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- Music Not Working
- Makes it worse
- Talking Working / Worked
- The most helpful I think along with the Courage to Heal.
- \"The Courage To Heal\" Working / Worked
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I was physically, emotionally and verbally abused by my father from about 1 year old until he died when I was 7 or 8. I was lucky in that I learned quickly how to avoid angering him, but my sister has suffered brain damage (of an unknown extent so far) due to being beaten from the time she was a newborn. For this I don't think I can ever forgive him.
Treatments
- Art Somewhat Helpful
- Forgiveness Considering
- I don't know if I can forgive him... should I?
- Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- It was nice to know I'm not alone in this.
- Leave Not Working
- I tried to run away a few times, but my neighbors always returned my sister and I and we just got beaten by my father for "ruining his reputation".
- Music Not Working
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- It helped, but I am still angry at that @^*&#$. Pardon my french.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes it helps to talk about it with my partner.
