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.
let me start off by saying that i just hate myself, all of me, the way i am, the way i was, my actions, my feelings, my thoughts, my responses...just everything. i get so easily frustrated about everything,bu i have a very quiet personality so instead of lashing out in these big fits of rage i hold it all in, and my mind takes a beating for it. I'm just so built up with anger, and it's directed at everybody. Part of the problem is that i want to express myself, i want to express myself soo badly, but i don't! fear of everything keeps me from doing so, fear and no confidence in my communication skills. It takes soo much out of me to talk and when i do and peple can't hear me or don't understand what the hell i'm saying, and just keep saying "what?" it freaking drives me crazy, and just further reiterates my own insecurities of expressing myself. I'm stuck inside my own mind, and all of these angry and depressive thoughts just keep recycling through my head and chanels down to my heart where it just gets pumped down my veins that reach my entire body..if that makes any sense. i don't know what i need? i don't even know if i need help? or if i'm just a lost cause?
You express yourself extremely well in writing. Practice talking in front of mirror - it builds confidence in speaking. Are they not hearing and comprehending or just not listening.
Unless they're hard of hearing, maybe you can pause, take a deep breath, then speak slow enough for them to be able to get it. Another what, maybe you could tell them N.E.V.E.R.M.I.N.D, see if they get that.
The lost causes are the people who do bad things, without any remorse. You have a soul -- that's not your group.
