I want desperately to communicate how I have been feeling but I can’t even understand it enough to explain. I feel nothing like I’m completely blank. I have no one to talk to.


sometimes I get this burning feeling in my stomach like my intestines are on fire but it’s just my anxiety and depression eating me. I can’t stand that burning feeling. It brings me to tears. I’m tired of feeling alone and wondering if I’m the only one who feels this way. I want to be happy and normal for once in my life. I want to have hope to hang on to. This is my first time reaching out and expressing any type of feeling I have and it’s quite scary.

deep breath. it's ok. Depression is like eating an elephant. When you look at everything that is wrong and the entirety of the problem, you just get lost. Start with small bites - ones you can be successful with. Each day is progress, and progress is what we need right now. You are a beautiful person, made with loving intent to be the person you are. You have not given up yet, which means you are very strong and courageous. I believe in you, and hope that you can believe in yourself too. Self Confidence is the most attractive feature you can display.

that burning sensation is not a common symptom of depression. I think you need to have it checked out by a medical doctor.

You are not alone. Plenty of helpful people here on DS.
