Hi everyone. I’m new to the group and I just could use someone to talk to. I don’t feel like I have many friends and I dont want to bother my family or have them worry about me. I’m home for the holidays from college and have started to really feel severely depressed about life and my future.

@gamabama22 I just got out of a relationship with a narcissist, so I understand. If you need anything I’m here for you!

I'm feeling overwhelmed, for the Holidays I woke up to this on my garage and home I know it had to be my sister, but it's the worst feeling, you see my father passed away two and a half years ago and he left me as home because I was taking care of him and now my sisters just keep attacking me and attacking me knowing that stress makes my disease worse, I had to call the police paint my garage do graffiti remover off the brick of my home and buy a security camera system to feel safe I don't know how to handle this anymore. the worst part is my sister was sitting here holding my dad's hand like me when he was passing away. If anyone has any words of wisdom on how to handle stress I would love to hear it thank you and have a wonderful day

@Cembre21 That is awful for anyone to do this much less your sister if she is doing it. Hopefully the camera's will stop her if she is doing it and if you catch her you should get a restraining order to protect yourself because she could do worse. I would say if you think she is doing it to distance yourself from her and also talk to someone about it like a counselor. Good luck

@shaelynkutis Thank you. We have been married for over 45 years and for now I just stay but hold my ground. It works most of the time but not a perfect situation.

I tried getting a restraining order, but it's crazy the paper work alone is ten pages long I have to do everything by myself including serving her paperwork , I have to pay $150 to start process and the judge can still deny, I'm going to get paper work ready that way if I catch her on camera I will have proof for the judge. The stress alone had me in bed most of the day. I'm not sure if you guys get worse when you get stressed but my body just shuts down, I guess my next step is to get a gun and have it in my home to protect myself. I don't know much else that I could do at this time. I do stay away from her and my other sister and have no contact with them they're just so angry that they keep coming after me. You seem my sister has been on drugs most of her life and hangs out with the very bad crowd she lives off stealing from people including me when she moved out of my home I never pressed charges on her at that time because I don't want to see them hurt I just want them to leave me alone and let me live the rest of my life as good as possible. You know the last words that my older sister told me is if and when I died if I wanted them them by my death bed I would sell the house if not I could die alone, but I won't be dying alone I'll die with the people that truly care about me by my side including God he'll be holding me the whole time but thank you for your words and I'll think about counseling, I know in my heart I have forgiven them I just don't want to be part of them.

@Cembre21 It sounds pretty dangerous with your sisters especially if drugs are involved so please be very careful and keep doors and windows locked as a desperate druggie could break in to get things to sell. You sound very level headed but just be extra cautious.
Is it your Sister that is a Narcissist?
I will keep you in my thoughts. I am not religious but will keep positive thoughts that she will go away and have you considered selling the house and moving away even to another part of town and not telling her where youve gone?
I hope you have a pleasant and safe New Years Eve an I am here if you need to chat.

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
