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.
Tonight I realized that I'm a burden to everyone and it's the reason I lose friends because they don't want to carry the dead weight of a girl who's lived life with depression of hell for 6 years... I'm forgotten and alone.. and no one seems to care because they have moved on.. so much pain that never seems to stops..

Thank you for sharing. We (I) care. To someone who really loves you or cares for you, you will never be a burden. That is their cold heart. I know of you and have some memory issues, but I won't forget you. That is saying something. You will find others worthy of your time and that is in knowing all about you. It can take time, but it is worth it for them to know you. I hope this was of any help. Thank you and God Bless.

I can feel your frustration with life; however, you can help yourself perhaps by medication and counseling by an understanding mental-health professional. Also please don’t overlook your spiritual needs: Pour out your heart to God in prayer, 'the peace from God' can help calm you. Philippians 4:6,7

I feel your pain. As I too feel the same. I have taken meds to help but nothing takes away that feeling. I am trying a new therapist but I feel it's pointless and there is no hope for me. Years and years of this illness and not receiving any help has taken me over. Please seek out help asap. I feel topless but remain optimistic. Stay strong my friend, fight for a healthier life.

Girl, You are not a lone, Don't ever feel as if though you are alone. I make the same mistake everyday. I came to this site to converse with others like me. We are here to support each other. Please don't feel alone, there are so many people who do care about you that you are not aware of. I hope you have a Splendid Weekend mamas. And to anyone on here that's having a messed up day, I love you if that counts.

Every one of these replies are correct. You are NOT alone my friend! Depression makes us feel that way. People who have never suffered from depression don't understand. It's not that they don't care they just don't understand. On this site WE understand all too well. Post how you feel and I promise other on this site will know exactly how you feel. Are you taking any meds? If not, please talk to your doctor and let them know what't going on. Med's do help once you find the correct type for you. Please keep us posted and be kind to yourself. You are NOT a burden...you are a wonderful human that is suffering right now but this WILL pass :)

I feel the same way, but I get so attached to someone that I scare them off, The only people (out side of here )That take me seriously is my therapist , and my caregiver
