Hey new person. Question, do you find peace in your depression?

No, I wouldn't categorize it as peace. More like immobilizing or suffocating.

What kind of things do you like to do? (You're very pretty btw)

I feel the same way a lot talking to people helps

peace. finaly someone else that finds peace in depression and isolation?

Hi and welcome. I fight depression every day. Feelings of being alone in my condition every day. I try to concentrate on the few people in my life who lift me up, and my friends here on DS who support me every day. You have come to a great website. The people here have helped keep me going, in the darkest of times. So welcome, and know that you are not alone in your struggle. Hugs

Welcome. I am sure everyone here understands your feelings. We knowthem well. There is hope though. Many of us have learned learned to live not with it but beyond it. Are you being medically treated for depression, anxiety etc? If not, I urge you to seek a good treatment plan. Again, welcome to the group.

Hi! Please know that they are fantastic/awesome people here who do understand. I am one of many who know all too well the feelings that cause depression and all of the above do too.
Can you get help with the lousy feelings and all that comes with it? It helps to have that in your life. I am still working to get help in the 'real world' ~ I keep trying. So can you.
If not, ds does offer links. If not....this is a chance to discuss, vent, talk and listen. I'm a listener with two good ears.
Take care.

Hello. I am new, too. Could you help me figure out how to post a comment on this site? I responded to another post and yours be see nowhere to post. Just comment. Also, they say how many people are on line, but who are they and how do we converse? I'm sorry you feel that no one cares about you. I know those with depression will. We are all in the same boat. I hope both of us can get some help here.

I'm kind of new to this group too but welcome. Like everybody else here depression ruins the quality of my life. If you want to call it a life. I hope you can find some help here.

I'm new too and already feeling better realizing that I am not alone.

Y'all are so nice thank you. This was helpful and I'm glad I'm not alone in this.

Hello I am bill. I have major depressive disorder. I know exactly how you feel at times but we do care and we do care about each other we have special issues that nobody can understand except for people in our position. I would be more than willing to talk with you and discuss things and share things and help and Trigger our emotions.

I completely understand what you're feeling. I feel exactly the same way, I have been struggling with some health issues that have taken control of my life I haven't been out of my bed for weeks except to use the restroom or to get something to drink. My health issues have even taken my ability to eat normally so I'm losing weight rapidly which I couldn't afford to lose to begin with starting at 105-107 lbs on a good day now I'm not to low 90's to even as low as mid 80's. I'm deteriorating fast but my family says it's all due to my negativity. Well my response is ya I am slightly negative at this point I'm physically ill and can't fix it or help it without money, I have been very positive at times and have tried and tried everything I can think of to help myself but they all end up being a dead end street. So I am left in my room alone 90% of the time while everyone else here has the ability to leave and live life or even to be able to go OUTSIDE!!!! WOW that would feel like a miracle for me
