I have been dealing with depression for 7 years, ever since I was in middle school. I used to be bullied a lot because of the way I looked back then and most of the times I was usually lonely. It started getting worst for me, where I now have generalized anxiety disorder and I keep dealing with new symptoms everyday. It's so scary how I keep thinking there is something physically wrong with me, but in reality I'm fine since my doctor eases my mind and checks my health. I would really like to talk to someone who completely understands and would like to chat and help me out. I would appreciate someone reaching out and willing to know the symptoms I go through mostly.

I think I have separation anxiety. I think it’s from past childhood trauma. My biological mom would leave me and my sister with strangers. Then in foster care no one gave me any attention because they just wanted my baby sister. Now I’ve been in a relationship with my boyfriend for a little over a year and I get extremely sad and start crying anytime he leaves. Like this morning he told me he wanted to hangout with his friend on Sunday and I got so sad. Sunday’s are our one day that we get to spend the whole day together and I always look forward to it. We do live together but we both work every day. I want him to be able to hang out with his friends. I don’t know what’s wrong with me😩

I been dealing with so much. I started counseling. I had a divorce after 6 yrs my husband told me he is gay. I loved him so much. 8 months later I'm dating someone new my ex husband sits there says I loved you but I am gay I'd give it all up to be with you. He has done nothing but lie to me break my heart. The man I am with dating treats me like gold I love his faimly My ex husband's mom treated me like dirt. My depression is so bad lately I'm going to my doctor to try to get on meds. I quit my job things were so bad my depression got so bad I haven't wanted to get out of bed. I been having panic attacks. I love the guy I am with now hes so kind. He even has taken the time to study about anxiety tried to figure out what works what doesn't. I have a appointment with a doctor next week to try and see what will help. I want to work bring in income. My boyfriend wants me to just chill get better its hard to be home to much time on my hands. After my divorce I have lost some friends. I don't have very many dependable people in my life. My mom is passed and my dads in the nursing home. They had me late in life Im 33 I just hurt so bad for 6 yrs of marriage my time wasted I wanted to be a mom so bad. I know its not to late. I'm angry at my ex husband all the crap he did. Time heals my depression has been so bad I just want to feel ok again happy. I want to go back to college and work.

Seeing a counselor and taking anti-depressant meds. Still sometimes get so sad and wish I could die, though I could never act on that. Have type 2 diabetes, 57, on disabililty. My mind keeps ruminating on every mistake and bad decision I've made over the decades that's left me with little savings.. I like writing fiction, though I've never got anyplace with it. Part would like to write for magazines, I just can't motivate myself to try anymore. Seems worse in summer and winter.
I would like to feel content, happy. Be able to move forward, right now I have no goals, and no idea what to do next. Just seems like everything I've done is wrong, why are these thoughts so hard to get over? I've talked with therapist and preacher, but they are still there.

Today I really feel pushed away like an outsider … I’ve been trying to change so many things in my life for the better but I think all the juggling is starting to get to me

@lindsay Hello and welcome to the group. I think I share a similar experience as you. I don't seem to have an interest in things anymore, one difference, I often wonder if death would be in my favor. It just seems like everything is a mundane task, and I am glad when it is all over, then when bedtime comes, I dread having to go to sleep to wake up and do it all over again, even if I will not do much, just being present is overwhelming for me. The last time, I was on here was in 2019, encouraging others, I hope it helped, however, I still am feeling down.

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
