Depression sucks.

@adamputman1962 wow I'm sorry you're going through all that man, that sounds really painful and scary. I'm sorry about your insurance, that really sucks that they lost your papers. I can't say that I've ever had voices but I've definitely felt a connection with family who has passed on. Sometimes I feel like they send me signs in every day life.

I'm having a bad day today. Depression sucks, like the title says. I feel like my meds aren't working. I wish I didn't have to live with this for the rest of my life.

I woke up feeling really horrible today. I feel like it’s bad that I feel sorry for myself but sometimes I can’t help it. It started because of the person I’m kind of “dating”. I don’t feel like I’m getting enough attention from him  and he takes too long to reply to me. I need that reassurance and he keeps saying he will try but I don’t really feel it. I am worried he is using me and that I will end up getting hurt and looking stupid. But aside from all that I’m so sick of being unhappy. I’m 21 and feel that I’ve never really been happy. Is this really what my life is going to be like forever? I feel like there’s no up from here because it has been so long. I’m so sick of telling myself that it will get better when it never gets better it seems.

Hi im Alyssa, ive had depression for a long time but its only recently gotten worse. I got out of a 3 year relationship with mental and physical abuse and i thought i would have been better after leaving him and i was for a little bit then i started dating my current boyfriend and its just gotten so much worse. I dont know if he is causing my depression to get worse or is it just me? But i mean im happy with him and i see him as the only light in my life right now but like at the same time he can be really difficult and he gets mad at me when i talk about the things i dont like that make me sad. We got into a really big fight last night and he was like i wish you would stop holding things in then I finally told him that im depressed and i feel like i dont want to be here anymore. Then he told me to shut up. But i guess that says something but idk he is a good boyfriend but hes an a****** sometimes. Anywho, i havent felt suicidal and this sad since my freshman year (2015) but yeah i just need help and someone to talk to. Thanks for reading.

I felt the same way some times I wanted to hurt my self one time and I got out of it by telling my mom and she got me help. And she was happy I did and I haven’t been since 2019 witch is good. 

Wow, there's so much in this board that I relate too. Thanks to everyone for sharing. Just knowing I'm not alone in my pain is helpful.

My depression comes in waves, bipolar maybe. I have been off meds for a year now and the one thing I like is that I can feel again. Unfortunately that means feeling the bad with the good, lol!

Some days I fight back the tears until I get home. Some days I'm able to control my thoughts and not worry about the past or the future, just focus on the moment.

I hope everyone has a good day today🙏😊

Definitely sucks!!!! I hate it!

@Mitzy1218 Hi Mitzi. Today is a new day. A new month, April. You may want to try something new today? Take your son out somewhere. It’s springtime. You got this! Start a new memory with your son. When you return home from work, have dinner with your son. He is your everything, Mom! He is your world. You got this! Don’t let your past boggle your min as it has. Take your medicine as prescribed and grab your son and go flourish your world with new memories of him and you and him. He wants that as much as you do. Remember that. Don’t miss out on his growing years, Mitzi. I want you to write back and tell me how this is working for you.? Both of you should keep a journal together and write in it together, no? Don’t leave his heart empty without wonderful memories of him and you.,I hope this helps you and brings back the smiles and peace in your heart and mind. God Bless you! - Harry

@HarryDecuir correction- of him  and you should have been typed once. My bad! 

@903emily You probably have less to fear from a stranger on the street than your own family.  I had to almost hide my therapy from my family for years because they disapproved of it and kept telling me it was all in my head and to just get over it.  They were right, it was in my head but they wouldn't own up to putting a lot of it in there.   I had to eventually cut them all off and it was painful, especially around the holidays where I feel like I belong on another planet.
