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.
idk i have this constant need for people....like im terrified of being alone...since i was like in 6th grade, ive always needed a school counselor or teacher (female) to just be there for me... and give me hugs ..someone to care about me all the time....even if i didnt have major problems, i just always wanted that attention and i still do...im about to graduate from my therapy program asnd i hate it soo muchh..i just feel like im gonna be left alone....like wat if i need to talk? does anyone else feel like this or is it just me?
also does anyone ever make up scenarios in ther head about exaggerating a time wer u got attention and u getting so much attention..even tho u wouldnt do something like that in real life..uu wish u got that attention.....for example....wen i went to the hospital in sempteber my therapist came to my house and i was calm just crying silently tellin ghe ri wanted to die....i didnt make a scene.....but i always find myself think wat if i did make a scene like i did before she came or od'd wen she came...how much would she care? i would never do something on purpose to get so much attention but wen i get attention from them i like it alot.
does anyone ever make up convos with ther therapist or teacher or person u like alot and love the attention from? i do that alot...is it normal? does anyone do that? i feel so weird. ive been doing that since like 4th grasde i think..im about to be a freshman in college.

I Think I Can Understand Why You Need Attention. When We Are Abused As Children, We Feel Cheated Out Of A Very Basic Need.
Love.........We Are Supposed To Feel Loved And Protected When We Are Small. If Someone Is Hurting Us And No One Saves Us, We End Up Lacking A Very Necessary Need. That Need Can Follow Us Into Adulthood.
I Never Embellished Or Made Up Anything, Because I Chose Not To Talk About My Abuse At All. I Liked Being Alone. I Didn't Want Anyone To Notice me.
But, I Can Understand.
Good Luck Sweetheart :-)
Yes, I feel like I am all alone, even with my husband and children around. None of them (thank goodness!) have histories like mine. . .
But, we do have understanding people here. I feel like I finally have a place to go with my real feelings.
Hugs. Keep in touch.
yeah im either leaving people cuz im going to highere levels of schools, or they leaving...ie..school counselors....wen i graduated middle school i left my first counselor that i loved soooooo muchh it wasnt even funny and i wanted to get left back just so i wouldnt leave her...and theni had counselors leave to other jobs...now my therapists are leaving cuz im going to college and i moved to another state.....
wen i was little and was being abused (physically and sexually) i always "went away" to these scenarios i created in my head about someone finding me and saving me.....i do that with actress mariska hargitay too...i loveeee herrr
they just don't understand
HUGS
