Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
New here, invited by another member to post, I won't say who.
She knows who she is though and she means a lot to me.
I'm 25, and coming to the end of my tether for the 2nd time in my short life.
I tried and failed once to kill myself, which is the biggest regret in my life. Not that I tried, but that I failed.
Is it too much to ask to find someone who can love me for who I am? See past my physical limitations to the person I am inside, waiting to be set free by love?
Last time I cut myself, which I used to do alot, have scars all over my arm, my friends and family were there to notice and stop me. Now I'm in a new job, in a new country with no one.
I fear if things don't get any better soon there won't be any turning back. :(
Well thats me, just wanted to say hello and issue a general cry for help.

I am glad you didn't succeed in your suicide attempt. I also had an attempt almost 6 months ago. Although my life has still been mostly shit, had I succeeded I would never have met some of the wonderful people I have in my life now who help me to get past the struggles I face. I hope DS can be this for you as well.

The temptation would be too much to try again at the moment.
Im living away from home so if I did, thered be no one to stop me this time.
Thanks for all the welcomes.
I'm more of a lurker in forums, I was asked to post by a friend so I did :).
people here are very very supportive. one thing i noted, however, in your message - you state: "Is it too much to ask to find someone who can love me for who I am? See past my physical limitations to the person I am inside, waiting to be set free by love?" i'd hasten to point out that i do not believe it is love that sets us free per se - or at least not love from another - the love that truly sets us free is the love from ourselves, which is the acceptance of ourselves as we are, with all our struggles & percieved difficiencies - & that is forgiveness. more & more i think forgiveness is the real trick, the thing we are journeying toward, the thing that healing is about.
there's another post on here today about forgiveness. i invite you to check it out.
good luck to you on your journey!
