@heilyg I can definitely relate to that feeling, you're not alone. Just know that you're not a burden, I'm sure your family are way happier that you're getting the help you need than if you were struggling with anxiety and depression on your own. :)

@Desides I know exactly what you’re talking about teenagers today get way too much information way too fast I’ve said that for a long time now I feel one of our biggest downfalls is the Internet the Internet is now the root of all evil that’s what I believe. Don’t get me wrong it’s good for somethings but too many people use the Internet in bad ways. Like for instance we are using it for something good. But there’s hundreds of thousands of people using it for bad.

I don’t know how to deal with self harm. My anxiety is so bad it hurts. I don’t know what to do.

I just signed up for this group. I'm older but not older than dirt yet. I lost my mom 2 years ago and it seems to get harder and harder to function. Time is healing nothing. I don't know how to cope with this feeling of hopelessness.

I am new to this website. Just really need to to vent. I think my wife is suffering from depression but she won't go talk to anyone. By the time i realized that's probablywhat was going on I had been drug into my own depression. I am seeking help. I am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel but my wife is threatening to drag me back down. I love my wife and we have had a good marriage, recent events have caused this and I hate to leave her when she needs me but I don't know if I can risk losing myself to help her.

i’m new to this platform, but i felt the sudden need to let everything loose. i’ve been struggling a lot since the year of 2018. i dropped out of school after being hit hard with major depression and anxiety. this was the biggest mistake i believe i’ve ever made in my life. with financials already carrying a weight of their own, i’ve just made times harder. now 18, i’m struggling in trying to do odd things to get a form of income for bills and things alike. school is a main priority at this moment, however i haven’t been avid in trying to complete my courses. i’m a sophomore, almost junior. i was supposed to be graduating this year but i’m unfortunately not going to be able to make it. i’m lacking that motivation and final step to ultimately get me going. lack of sleep has been apparent, as i have anxiety and rampant thoughts constantly coursing throughout my head. i consistently have an underlying anger that fuels a deeper fire, which reflects in many of my attitudes towards other individuals. i just feel alone even though i’m not, i don’t want to communicate with anyone anymore and i just want to be able to sleep 24/7 as i’m constantly tired- even when i haven’t done anything productive in days. it’s not that i want to feel this way or be lacking this much, it’s the issue where i don’t know how to overcome it. i was doing really good many months ago after therapy, however i feel myself slipping more and more. i’m scared of falling back to where i was. i don’t quite know what to do with myself anymore.

Hello Carenity Members,
I have seen in thedepression forums that there are many posts about people needing someone to talk to/listen to and feeling of overwhelemed with life or facing depression for various reason
I have created this discussion group and PINNED it so that it will remain at the top for people to do several things:
1) Those needing someone to talk to, can briefly state what they are struggling with - their situation - and that they would like to talk with someone.
2) Those who would like to listen/talk to someone else, can then private message that user directly and begin a conversation.
or
3) Those who have either overcome their depression to an extent or just really want to help and listen can also comment and say just that - basically offering themselves to be contacted.
I hope this helps open the communication and organize the forum as well. I think peer support is essential, especialy when in our own lives, perhaps we feel blocked out.
As always, there is the general forum for any and all other discussions.
If situation is very bad, please know your life is important and reach out to a medical professional or call Crisis Hotline at 1-800-273-8255
Thank you,
Lee__R
