Battling depression is no joke and it's hard. It takes a lot of effort. Have you confided in your Dr? They are here to help. The people here are a big help too. You are not alone. I have suicidal ideation big time. It's a struggle to get from one hour to the next. I hope you are sleeping. That's a big help. Surround yourself with people that care....even if it's people here. I've stayed alive for some of my friends here. Keep busy. It's really hard but try and find something you like doing. Maybe consider getting a fur baby. They don't judge but give a lot of love and support. Sending you lots of strength and hugs.

They don't know. They don't know what you're going through. They're neurotypical. But it isn't a joke. It's so far from one. You're not crazy or stupid. It's a chemical imbalance in your brain. It's a serious matter. They should be more understanding. Try going to the doctor to get some antidepressants. I know many people don't want them and feel insulted when told that. I used to be one. But trust me, it will help. It will take time but in the end it will. If you wish to vent more you can message me

Thank you guys for understanding. And im trying my hardest but I have seek dr helped just never got any medicine for it . I will go to the doctor soon and talk to them about it

By all means stop talking to people who don't understand depression. Well, don't stop talking to them 100%, just avoid your health issues!

I know that in life there are some things I will never understand, and it is hard for me to have genuine sympathy for people facing those issues. For example, as a man I can never really understand what it means to be pregnant. My sympathy is genuine, but it is more of a learned behavior on my part than true understanding. Now broken arms I UNDERSTAND since I have broken mine 4 times.

Yes, we understand depression here. Not to the point where we can diagnose and treat people based on a few words, but our sympathy is real, and if we don't understand the exact issues you are facing, we most likely share some issues!

By all means, talk to your doctor. Be as open and honest as you can. They have heard it all before, so don't worry about scaring them.

Gentle hugs

Thank you so much

People who have never experienced depression do no understand what it is like to be depressed. You are not stupid or crazy, you are depressed. When I first went to the psychiatrist, I resisted medication, but soon realized that I needed it along with therapy. It definitely made a huge difference for me.

Sorry, I wasn't finished. Please do talk to your doctor about medication and therapy if you are not in therapy. Talking about your thoughts and feelings can be very beneficial. Please message me if you want to talk further.

You are loved, prayer can help you through this rough time in your life. Things wont be bad forever. Be strong, listen to music and talk to us. We're here for you!

Thank you. I've been working so it's been hard responding but im looking into therapy and everything to get better. Once again I appreciate this

Well, you run the risk of having them think your suicide attempts are a joke: and that would be truly hurtful if it got to that point. So it's a good idea to stop doing that right now.

You're unhappy, but you only have one life. And although you are unhappy now, you may not be unhappy in 5 years. Or 10. You might be having a great time.

My life has been crap but I think I have finally turned it around, and I can't resent it. and I have had some wonderful things with the bad. I can't be sorry about it. I am where and what I am now and I have respect for that, so I have to put up with what got me here.

You too are going through a dark period. You're doing the whole black forest of spiders stage of your quest. But don't give up just because you're in the black forest of spiders. Get through it, and out of it, and into the daylight again. Don't get sucked in by despair: keep on with the quest. So much more to do, so much more to see. You've barely begun and it gets better as you go on.

This is why you should go to a Pdoc or Therapist so that they can help you. Going to random people and getting their opinions is not important. You need to see a Therapist so that they can help you in the right way.

Yes you really need three drs involved in your care. A primary care provider for that physical self, a psychological provider for the therapy you need to talk through things, and a psychiatrist who can prescribe antidepressants and monitor how you respond to them. There is no magic pill that Bam
