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.
Hi guys,
Life's been tough lately, I don't know how and why, maybe because I was in sleep deprivation and had so many thoughts that I could stop thinking. Finance, study, work, all that stuff keep bumping around.
I have had the idea to kill myself, 4 times. I know that's weak, that's just me being over-dramatic.
I need help!
Those thoughts aren't weak, but they are destructive. When we're overwhelmed, it's always easier to run or escape. I encourage you to counteract those thoughts. Please don't entertain them. Get them out of your mind by calling them out. I've done it and it works. I usually declare out loud that my life is precious and paid for, bought at a price and given a purpose. I chose to fulfill that purpose regardless of what comes against me.
David, there are tough days no doubt. There are days I struggle through too. But every tough day comes to an end. If your plate is overfilled, please find healthy ways of cutting back on the excess. Anxiety about how it's all going to work out tries to put us over the edge. Remember, you are the top and not the bottom. That means you have choices and options. If you need someone to walk alongside you, I can direct you to someone who can. Please don't hesitate to speak to a counselor if need be. We're all here for you! I'll be praying you through my friend :)
