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 feel like when i need someone the most I have nobody.. i only have one person in my life that cares about me and he needs space from me which i understand everyone needs their alone time but in times like this when i feel worthless and when i feel like life isnt worth it for me anymore i have no one to go to, i just want someone who could be there for me during the hard times but nobody ever has the time for me..
Just because you're feeling alone, that does NOT make you worthless. So many people here will tell you that you're not because I think a lot of us have felt the way you're feeling. You're not alone at all. I don't have any friends except for, like, two people that I only talk to online. I even cut ties with most of my family. I'm not looking back. Only forward.
You will find your true friends and family some day. People who really care. Just hang in there and give yourself a chance to find them.
I'm in the same boat, so if you need a friend, I hope we can find unity in understanding each other. Pm me if you ever want to!
Asking for help and getting emotional support can be a challenge as it takes trust. It sounds like you are concerned about overwhelming others. Sometimes that can be true, but many times that is a fear of ours that isn't reality.
What do you like to do? Is there a way that you could connect what you like to do to a social event in order to be around people and start to get to know people? I know for me, I am a stay at home mom, so I found a mom group to be a part of in order to get out of the house and connect with people that are walking a similar path as me. I am also involved in my church that has great support, as it's like a big family... I encourage you to initiate finding connections. You never know what could happen!
Please know, however... YOUR WORTH IS NOT TIED TO YOUR RELATIONSHIPS... that is one of the most important things you could ever know.. You were created beautifully and uniquely. You have talents and gifts to give and share with this world. You were created and considered 'good' (God doesn't create things that he is ashamed of or that aren't good). You could have one hundred friends or no friends... that doesn't change who you are or how much you are loved by your Creator.
