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.
I'm feeling really down and depressed. I'm crying a lot and over small things. I don't see the point of living anymore either. I feel like a failure and have no desire to better myself, get a job, etc. I'm tired of feeling this way and being alone. I have no real friends, no one who really cares about it...the people who do only call or text when they need something. It's all conditional. If you do this, then I'll love you. I'm exhausted.
You are not alone. Take solace in knowing that. Hopefully you will make some connections, gain some insight and have a community to lean on in those times of struggle.
Hang in there. You are the ONLY one of YOU, so by default, you are unique and special.
Sending out prayers of strength...
I am sorry you are feeling this way. Lack of friends when you are single, or in a relationship, is extremely difficult. we need the support of a good friend, but emphasis is on the good part. Because nothing is worse than a bad friend who would pretend to listen and understand, for example, shows one face when talking to you and suddenly another side against you and criticize when surrounded by others. and unfortunately this can happen, from those you think you can trust. People don't always relate or understand if they have not gone through the same circumstances and experiences that you have been through. if they have not made the same mistake, they can suddenly turn judgmental, even if they themselves made million other mistakes, bigger ones. We go through phases of bad luck, and it can all turn dark at the same time, bad work experience, relationships, family, and friends.. all at the same time.. so believe me, whatever you are feeling it happens, don't feel alone at all. Hopefully it will pass soon, in the mean time use the support you can get on this site, it is really helpful. I joined last year and it helped me so much, but then I went through a very personal dark phase I just didn't even know what to share, so I just kept quiet, it was very hard and complicated. But thankfully I feel so much better now, however, lacking friends and human contact is making me feel very bored and depressed again. Once again I realise the fakeness of some people in my life, so I decided to turn to the virtual world online to search for connections again, and already, just reading a few posts, and writing here, I am feeling so much better, already recovering from that hollow loneliness I was feeling earlier when I woke up in the morning.
If you need a chat privately, about anything, please feel free, I am going to be online regularly and every day. so don't hesitate.
My best wishes to you.
Yeah, sometimes even sweet people can be judgmental, and that is ok, they can disagree, but it should be done in a tasteful way which does not hurt you or offend you when you are already feeling down due to your own bad experience, it's about timing. They can perhaps judge later, when you feel a little better, not when you are crying and feeling down, that's a time to forgive and give kindness and reassuring words. People can be strange, they may not mean it, but it can still hurt. I hope you are feeling better, and all things get better for you, keep blogging, it always helps.
