Maybe I'm really often to post about my depression. But, instead I'm sharing about depression and anxiety on my social media, maybe this is the safe place for me to share it.

My pray is, hopefully someone is understand what I've been through. Its hard to make my parents understand:(

I just wish that my best friend is here. He such a good listener, he understand what I've been through, but he's out of the country:(

I'm not sure if this mental illness will get better.

I think anyone on here is willing to listen as our hope is for someone to listen to us as well so post away! Or if you would rather private message that is okay too! I am willing to talk anytime. Depression and anxiety is a serious issue and deserves help/a good listener no matter who from.

I think this is definitely a better place to share than social media. People here understand. I am very selective telling people I know about my depression. So, welcome!

This is the perfect place to post. The daily strength group is here to listen and offer support. Your parents don't understand what depression is because they have not experienced depression. I suffer with depression and anxiety also. If you want to message me, I will be happy to try to help.

@ smithy @ little sadie @ sharainmd thank you so much for your support, and yes I'm stepping away from my social media. I liked here a lot. Easily to find people someone like me :(

Hello,

It's brave of you to reach out. Do you mind sharing what you're going through? What is it that your parent's don't understand? I'm sorry to hear your best friend is out of the country. Will he be back?

~~This is my first time posting on this site and you hit the nail on the head~~I've been on this site for a couple of weeks now and just now got up the courage to post this~~It's totally amazing to me that everyone and their brother wants to "like" my positive quotes and posts but the second I put it out there that maybe I'm in need "generally speaking or hurting" there's no responses, no private messages~~Nothing~~ So, here I am. Hurting and all~~
