I am in the same space. Please do not feel alone, this website has been very helpful for me. The people on this site are very open and friendly and give good advice. I know how hard it is to describe to others that do not have the same issues that we have, they do not understand, its hard for them to understand because they have never had to deal with it. You can pm me anytime if you want to talk private. good luck *Hugs*

We stand alone, together

Depression is a very distinct condition. The range of symptoms is very narrow. I can spot it just by the short paragraph you wrote.

The number one important thing for you understand is that the thoughts themselves are symptoms. They may seem "true" or "correct" but they are not.

It can be very difficult to navigate the subrle nuances of this disease, it takes some practice and support, but it can be done, is being done by vasr numbers of depression survivors

Welcome to DS and this group. I completely agree with Mom2girlie. DS does offer all those things, but it is not perfect. Do not be disappointed if it seems like you are not noticed. The volume of newcomers sometimes results in some being ACCIDENTALLY ignored. If that happens to you, simply post that you still need some help. If not right away, eventually you will establish a rhythm.

Your post calls out for some contact, .. and it will help if you give a bit more information. Do that WITH ANONYMITY though.

Why did you call a crisis line?

It may be difficult, but to be helpful, we need to know more about 'these' feelings and thoughts.
As you know, isolating is not the greatest practice. Removing ourselves from our environment compromises life. That is not a fix. The fix comes from the medical profession. I urge you to seek medical diagnosis and treatment plan. I don't know what your issues are, clinically speaking so a diagnosis would probably be the first thing.

Good luck, ... and again ... welcome to DS.

I'm in the same spot you are. I just came here from the crisis text line as well. If you ever want to explain how you're feeling I'm all ears. I feel that way all the time and it's the reason I can't open up to people super easily. This is a safe space, for you to be you
Take care and stay safe,

I understand. It can be difficult to talk to others because you feel like no one understands, or that they will judge you. That's why I joined too.

I'm pretty new to this as well. I can understand how difficult it can be to talk to people who don't quite understand. I'm hoping to find people here who do. Feel free to send a message anytime.

Welcome to Daily Strength. You will find many people here who can relate to you. Continue to post here and you will make new friends who will listen and offer support.

I promise you you're not alone I'm in the same place right now I think we're all here for the same reason or at least here for someone we love just remember there's strength in numbers and try to stay positive life gets better

Hi, I'm glad you found this site, I'm surely everyone here will not let you feel alone and lonely.

I feel the same way like my tierd is so different than everyone else my tierd is all of me not i need a nap i need to rest my sole my heart my head everything and no one gets it

My immediate advice to you is to get out into Mother Nature, as exercise is on the front-line of depression curing (physical health is mental health) and, I know it works because it worked wonders for me, in fact it may well have saved my life.

Take comfort in the fact that loving people, such as you are, hurt the most and, that's a good thing because unloving people fail to give a damn about themselves or, others, that then being a bad thing.
