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.
Hello there,
I am looking for a few more people that are on almost daily and will be of a support for me. I know a lot of u can probably connect with me and i would like to find you. I am 22 years old and am out on my own. I deal with tons of stress and am depressed most of the time. I have money and family issues as most people do. I have been through sexual abuse and still have to see the person that caused my pain. I lack motivation alot, but then at times I have bursts of energy. I would really appreciate people taking the chance to get to know me as for I could really use some support and I can give much support back. well just message me or reply if u think we could become good friends :)
thanks,
Jessica

On the other hand, most take some time ... to do that. Time is taken to read other people's posts and have some kind of 'preliminary' interaction .. and soon, friendships are made.
The reason I am launching into this is that I noticed not many replies to this post .. and I think I know why. It is just a little bit 'too direct'.
I have NO DOUBT you will make (close) friends here and get a lot of support .. but I am not so sure it will be 'by request' necessarily. If you do, . great .. I just want to say that if you do not, .. don't give up. Continue to post .. ask for what you want .. and expect from 0-100% response. Another way to make friends here is to do a lot of 'helping' yourself .. encouraging others .. which gives you a good presence ... and something to make friends on.
Just know that a lot of people are 'hesitant' with online 'friendships'. You can make it happen .. but it takes some time and some presence on your part.
Good luck to you. I am sure you will make a good experience for yourself here on DS.
I don't see how you can stand being around the animal who sexually abused you!!! You probably didn't report it for the same reason I didn't. They would say that YOU asked for it.
It's hard to be motivated when you're depressed. It would be best if you could possibly see a therapist ~ but I know you have money issues. Some counties have Mental Health agencies and also have therapist working for them. You might check with your county and see if they too have a mental health agency that could help you. Usually these visits are based on ability to ;pay.
I'd be happy to be friends with you although I'm sure you're looking for someone your own age, and I understand that. Best of luck and God bless. Hugs, Lee
Were neighbors im in Md. Anyway I too am going through similar issues. I suffer from Depression on and off and also Loneliness. Im doing pretty good now though especially when the weather is decent. Hit me up if you ever need someone to listen. I usually check this site once or twice a day.
