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.
I'm glad you posted your comment on the Crisis Center board. I don't know how the board monitoring works here on Daily Strength but I think there's special board monitors for the Crisis Center board. I hope someone responds to your message in addition to me.
I don't know if they have any other resources to offer you than the Candadian Suicide Hotline number that I keep giving you. It would be great if you would call them so that you can actually talk to someone and express your concerns: 1 (905) 688-3711.
I really hope you reach out and get help with what you need to face your life in a more positive way. You're not alone in that others have felt the way that you do ~ including me ~ but there's hope that tomorrow may bring better things if you can make some effort to contact help. There's only so much that people here on DS can do to encourage you ~ but we keep trying.
Please call the Suicide Hotline number so you can talk to someone. If you don't want to do it for yourself, please do it for your DS friends who care about you.
I fear that no one here is able to connect with you. Please call the number. I want you to get the help you deserve. Big hugs!!
And also, please check in on this thread and let us know how you are doing! So many people care about you and will follow your progress!
Gentle hugs
