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 really need support right now. My depression is getting really bad and I keep having images of killing myself and wanting to die. It's a mix of OCD obsession and suicidal ideation. My meds have stopped working (again).
I don't know if I want to keep doing this. My anxiety will never let me grow up fully. I can't get close to people, can't let go of my family, I can't stop SI or my ED, and my anxiety prevents me from doing any type of supporting job. My grandpa and aunt just died and I can't get over it. I'm having psychogenic seizures and doing behaviors like mad.
I'm losing it. I've even thought of the note I want to write to my parents. I'm freaking out. I don't want to hurt them, but I also don't want to live my whole life for everyone else. I don't know what to do anymore. Please help.

I am sorry for the loss of your loved ones. It may help just to talk or write to them to get feelings out.
What you are going through has its ups and downs. It won't always be like this. Be sure you are getting all the medical help you can. Maybe your family can help with that. I have trouble being close to people too. It is hard to be around friends or meet new people when you are depressed. It's good you are posting. A mental health group may help too.
I want you to know I really hear you are hurting. Take care of yourself.
