Hello everyone I am new to the group. I have had depression much of my adult life, and some of my teenage life. I do many things that bring me joy and keep me busy. I have a loving husband, though mental illness is a little hard for him the really comprehend. I have an adult child who has ADHD andAspergers. He doesn't have the issues most parents deal with, I just know I will always need to support him some way. He hasn't been able to keep a job, though he is smart. Oh, I am now the guardian of my brother who is 61 and is more autistic but can at least hold a job.
I just feel hopeless, even when I do things I enjoy. I just want to crawl in bed and cry.

My dad walked away when I was like seven or eight he would buy me stuff one Xmas then buy my brother stuff on his birthday .,. My momma didn't like that so you know she told him ... I always thought it was my momma fault he didn't wanna come see us because how bad she'll talk about him ... I told her one day I think he's not in our life because she's so mean & she didn't take that well and neither did I .. I went to go find out myself and it was going okay at first talking && then he just blocked me on everything ... we haven't spoken since around this time last year ... he had two other kids younger than me and my brother .. that really sucks alot ! cause now I think I'm less of a person.

Hi guys, my name is kaylee, I’m 20, and I’ve been on my meds for depression for 2 years now. At first I felt great, and still did all of the things I enjoyed. But for the past few months, I feel like I can’t get out of bed, or brush my hair, or shower. It just feels like “why do that if you’re going to just get back into bed”. I don’t really have any friends, I mostly just talk to my husband. He’s been really helpful, but I can’t seem to get myself out. I’m exhausted 24/7, I get really hot from being anxious, and I’ve been sleeping for like 18 hours. I’m starting to get worried and I just need someone to talk to and maybe help me get myself out of this. I don’t clwan the house anymore, I don’t do the laundry, I don’t do the dishes. I just really need help..

Hi Kaylee,
I know exactly what you are going through and how you feel. I was like that for a very long time. Are you on any medication? I am on celexa it takes the edge off I sleep better. For course everyone is different when it comes to medication. Hope you have a wonderful day and stay Positive sister.

Hi, I just joined this today and this is my first post so it might be a little spotty.
The past couple weeks I've been feeling really sad all the time but I don't really have a reason. I don't ever want to go out and do anything, I'd rather stay in bed all day. I've also noticed my anxiety getting worse along with my depression.
I don't have anybody to talk to other than my mom and boyfriend and while they are helpful it would be nice to talk to someone new.

Hello everyone! I joined here yesterday to try to find a community of people struggling with anxiety very similar as to what I'm going through. I've had anxiety for 7 years now and it just seems to be getting worst to the point I feel like my health is in danger, when in reality it's not since I had blood test done before and the results come back normal, same when I go to the ER for a physical check up and they tell me nothing is wrong with me. I'm in my early 20s and normally always healthy. I hate this feeling so much, I would love to be myself again. I believe what caused my anxiety to happen is being mostly alone. I do have a lifestyle, but it's rather a boring one. I usually just work a full time job throughout the week and stay home on the weekends. I don't really visit my family and friends often as they are busy with work or other things as well, ever since the pandemic. My symptoms are mostly headaches, nausea feeling, dizziness, brain fog, dry mouth, stomach cramps, weird head sensations, fatigue and body aches mostly in my arms though where they just feel very sore. I would love to talk to someone who understands or is experiencing the same symptoms as me, as what I'm going through and let me know that everything will be okay.

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
