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.
Hello all, I'm not sure if I'm in the right group but I'm a 26 year old male who was in an motorcycle accident in February this year but now I'm falling apart and there is no one that will support me I just get told to stop moaning or cheer up it will get better. My life hasn't been great and I think everything has caught up with me at once. If you would like to chat please feel free to message me.

Welcome to DS. No one here is going to tell you that. How bad was the accident? There isn't really a chat function here. You can post like this on the group board or you can send a private message to a user. Having a bit of website trouble lately so don't take it personally if you don't get much response. Hugs!!

Hello Anxiety, thank you for the warm welcome. The accident ruined my gear and to be honest I was pretty luck I was taken to hospital with multiple fractures to my arm and signed off work for a six weeks. But for some reason over the last few months I've become very unhappy, sad, upset to be honest an emotional person and a lot of my so called friends have walked away because they say I've become a different person, I'm not the same person I was, I'm making it up etc. And I've gotten to the point where I'm alone and I feel like I'm in a nightmare it may sound crazy but my life hasn't been great it's bee pretty shit. Can I ask what brings you here?

I got diagnosed with Generalized anxiety disorder many years ago..it turned my whole life upside down and has taken many years to get any level of control. Did you have a head injury? or did the accident just make you realize how fragile life can be? You can PM me if you want.

I am sorry to hear that, I bet it can't be easy. I find it nasty how easy people can turn there back on a person or shut them out so easy. How are you finding life with others? No lucky no head I injury. I have not idea what brought it on some thing has just clicked and it went dark and the feels brought back memories of a dark time in my life that I thought I was over. To be honest I probably don't make much sense as I'm not to sure what's causing it or how to talk about as normal people are not interested or tell me to stop moaning.

it's ok if you don't make sense....it happens to us all. I go back and re-read my journals all the time and think how disjointed they are. Try writing a journal and start at the beginning. :) I'm heading home from work so will be offline for a bit...don't want you to think I just dropped off ;P

It's nice to talk to someone that understands. I think that's a good idea but what does someone write in a journal? No worries if I don't reply I've probably fallen asleep.

It's your personal space..you can write whatever you would like. I try to keep track of everything so I can re read them later and see if I feel like I'm making progress but also share with others.
