hello,

I guess I'm kinda new here, well I say new I used to be on this site about 9 years ago but then left after I got some pretty hateful comments but hey! Back now!!

I have been living with depression for a while now but I have recently been in pretty bad chronic pain which has made the depression a LOT worse to the point I've been thinking about suicide.

But.... Keeping positive!!

So... Yeah, hello everyone!

I am so sorry that you had some bad comments, but I am so glad that you came back to the site. I really hope that you can find some good friends and a lot of support here. There are some really great people here.

it is not right on DS to be given bad memories of being here....they could have been reported and banned....then you would have stuck around those nine years I guess...welcome back...anyone gets you mad then tell someone like pepperman and wanderingvet about it and they will work on correcting those people....hugs they are our CL leaders here...

I am sorry that you got inappropriate replies way back then.

They just updated the CL tool kit a bit, and it is now faster for us to report spam and abusive content! So if you get abusive stuff, please feel free to let a CL know. The CLs for depression are me and WanderingVet.

People can be assholes. With the new sight so you know, there's an arrow next to a person's name on their profile so you can ignore them. I had to do that recently because someone used rude sarcasm and justified my parent's abuse in a comment when I was being vulnerable. i'm glad you're back. Just remember that ignore button. It comes in handy.

Hey, Sapphire!

I'm also sorry to hear that people left you mean, if not horrible, comments on your old account. I'm glad to see you came back especially since you're feeling suicidial.

I know those feelings all to well as I recently came close to attemptibg suicide myself. Luckily, someone stopped me and now I'm here to help if I can

Don't feel bad. I had to leave because some of the people where just on here to pick up people for a quicky. So, I just got rid of all the bad people but now came back because it helps me relax and see on what others are going through.

There was times I just wanted to end everything because I'm tired of getting verbal abuse and people think that it wasn't. I was tired of being mistreated and was tired of my relationship going to his kids.

welcome! Everyone here has been great lately. hope you have a better day!

Glad your with us again, hang in there there:)

Sorry that happened to you. I don't understand why anyone would be anything other than understanding or sympathetic on here. Or at the very least, keep quiet.

In any case, welcome. I suffer from chronic pain and depression, too, and have thought about suicide a lot. I can relate. Keep holding on and finding reasons to keep busy.

Easier said than done. I know.

So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
