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 so tired of having to deal with myself every day. I'm so stressed and overwhelmed. I don't want to kill myself but I do want to disappear. I just wish I could drop everything I'm doing and find some way to disappear without my family knowing. I'm so exhausted the feeling is too much. I just want to scream, just scream so loud and for so long that I lose my voice. I just want to feel some type of physical pain. I am so angry. So angry that I don't really know why I'm angry I just am. I want to get rid of all this energy. If only I could beat someone up or someone can beat me up. I want to feel a rush so quickly that when it's over I fall down and have no thoughts. for some reason I've been thinking of this a lot, just wanting someone to bring physical pain to me so it can wake me up from this sleep.
My mind is so tired. how can all these thoughts come from just stressed out about studying???? at first, that was only it. I was just stressed out about studying, but now these thoughts have to lead to something else. now I feel so exhausted and angry and I want to feel physical pain. I just want it all to go away. I feel so alone. so extremely alone. why don't people seem to care about me anymore? and why am I so alone all the time? I wish my mind would just shut up!!! and leave me alone.

I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only. It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals. I have been wanting a new dress. I like dressing up sometimes. My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant. But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again. I went through this in the fall. I bought...

Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
I'm sorry you feel this way. But remember, this too shall pass.
Go back and read your journals from last week, when you went to the fish museum, remember how happy you were? You were with friends and with people who care for you.
Even though today is a yucky day, remember that you also have GREAT days. And I'm sure you will have more GREAT days in the near future.
Hang in there :)
I think that you're just really stressed out. When I feel this way, which is often, I want to scream and just let it out. I feel like I am boxed in by all of the stress and obligations. I do see a therapist and this helps. I have also been journaling. I wonder if you think that the pain might take away the stress and anxiety. Many people "self-harm" as a form of relief. I am sorry that you are going through this but I have hope FOR YOU that you'll get through this
You seemed like you were doing well in prior posts so I hope things will get better and perhaps see a professional for some medication to help you deal with things.
I’m sorry to know that you are struggling. Try to take a break. Talk to someone you can trust. Journaling is also helpful.
My son is a freshman in college and I always remind him to take care of his health, physically and mentally. He attends a christian fellowship in his university once a week and he has a life group which I believe is a big help in his transition to college.
I hope you can find something that will help you to enjoy your studies. I know it’s not easy because I’ve been there but I hope you will stay strong and you will get the support you need to keep you going each day. Listening to worship songs brings relief. Talk to a spiritual leader.
I hope you will get the help you need to stay better. Take care of yourself.
I pray that you will bring all your concerns to God in prayer because He cares for you. Please keep posting, we are here for you.
