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.
hey, I kinda need someone to talk to because all my friends are busy or don't care/understand. I've been trying to better myself but I feel like its getting worse, my anxiety is getting worse around people, in school, even at home doing nothing. I'm still having visions and thoughts of my friends and family dying and I vision all the ways I could possibly kill myself.
I want to cry, but I can't and all this pressure in my chest is just building up and I don't know how to release any of it. I have so much schoolwork to do, I'm having urges to cut and I've found ways to kill myself but I don't know when I'm gonna do it. I'm scared and I don't want to actually die only because it will hurt people around me but every day it is a pain that doesn't go away and I just need a way out.
please help, anybody, help....
I am hearing it is the worst of all time. I don't know about that, .. maybe ... there are more teens now than ever before.
Anyway ,,,, researchers say it is because of:
1, Deterioration of family unit.
2. Long, ongoing wars.
3. Rising costs.
4. Corrupt government
5. Public schooling politicized.
6. MAJOR social changes
7. Internet
8. Crime
9. Violence
10. Terrorism
11. Nuclear threat
12. Global warming
13. Human trafficking
14. Drug cartels
15. Illegal immigration
16. ISIS burning pilots alive ... ON TV
17. Cop killings
18. Public protests (REAL VIOLENCE ON TV)
19. Welfare mother putting her 1- and 2-year-olds in the oven and turning it on.
and a few hundred other examples. No goddam wonder our kids are depressed.and cutting themselves up.
Here is what I have for you. Do not harm yourself. It will not help anything. It will cause YOU more problems. If it DOES work, it is only a few seconds of 'relief'.
As bad as it is .... it HAS been worse. MUCH WORSE. Mankind has survived EVERYTHING and will continue to. Those who 'survive' are those who 'can take it', ... and I don't mean macho men. By 'take it', I mean EXCLUDE yourself from problems out there that are not yours ... N. Korea is not my problem ... it is a problem for HUNDREDS of experts ... and they will do their job .... or they won't. Either way, ... it ain't my package.
If the goddam football players want to stand on their head wearing a ballet tutu that's OK with me.
Same goes for the victims in Syria, ... or, or, or. I am saying 'PICK YOUR BATTLES' and only pick those you can win. Stay away from and be blind to those you cannot win. It's a tough stand, but survival is a tough chore these days.
Give yourSELF the best life you can put together ... no self harm, no tears, no fear, no loneliness ... give yourself a comfortable 'bed' to live in. The rest of the crap ... GOD will take care of. I promise.
All that pressure in your chest? Step outside, .. look at the night sky, .. take a DEEP breath, and let it all out. Realize the universe is HUGE and this petty crap is NOTHING compared to Gods domain.
This is NOT a sermon. I am telling you where your PEACE comes from. He is all we have now .. and it's time 'we' realized it. Ask for help, and it will be given. Ask for protection, and it will be given. Ask for relief, and it will happen ... but you gotta MEAN it and BELIEVE it.
You have many years ahead of you. Things get bad, things get good. Been that way for thousands of years. I UNDERSTAND how you feel. I am simply showing you how to feel differently.
Peace ... is a reach away, .. get some ... as much as you want. I have told you how to do it. When you REALIZE it works, then jump into it ... revel in it. Bring yourself near to the Master ... big time. It has been our 'best shot' for thousands of years.
With love, ...

I know how hard it can be to open up to friends and family that have their own things going on, which is what spurred me on to join this website actually. Today is my first day, because the desperation and loneliness in my struggle has become too great. I know it sucks to feel like no one around you has time, or to feel like you don't want to increase their burden possibly. I've struggled with that a long time. It's still hard to figure out how to talk to people.
I just want you to know I'm here, and that you're seen and heard and that nothing you're feeling is something to hide away.
