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.

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

@Melrose I understand how you feel, maybe you should see it as you are a person that prefers to be one on one with yourself. I can relate, I don't have many friends and am by myself often, I, however, have found that over the years being alone gives me some sort of piece and being around others for too long, especially gives me anxiety. It sounds like you may be discovering yourself, and I am in no way trying to discredit your feelings, I do understand them, I just hope that you are not being too hard on yourself over it. If you need to talk, you have friends here.

@Lonelyguy2007 , I'm glad you came here to reach out for support.

What an extremely stressful, exhausting situation to be in. Your feelings are justified.

I'm sad to hear that your wife is not supportive of how you feel and that she is being so judgmental .

Is it possible that you might be able to get a counselor , to be an objective person to hear what you're going through and help suggest some ways that you might cope, instead of feeling that you have no way out?

Keep reaching out and please don't choose ending your life. I care and I'm sure others on this platform will be supportive too, as I've read many caring comments from others here.

🤗🤗

Jupiter Jen Welcome to our group - Your sharing tells me that you are indeed a very intelligent and caring person. With all the pressure you live with - it is my opinion that your Mom and your sister are indeed blessed to have you around. It is difficult for all of us to try to be more than just survivors - but to excel in qualities that we possess that are dampened by our disease. Keep the attitude that you now have and I think that you will be in a much better place than you are at the moment. It could be a good thing that you are going to counseling by your self for your self. You now have the opportunity to give to you the attention that you may have given Mom - YOU deserve to be treated alone so you can obtain insights for your growth. Good luck - and we are all ducks swimming in the same pond so keep quacking. Swede18

Hi, I’m new to this, I’m 21 years old. I’m currently 23 weeks pregnant and feeling like I’m unworthy. I feel a sense of emptiness a void and no matter how many people are around it doesn’t seem to go away. I wanna feel happy, be a great mother to my baby girl. I just feel like I’m not enough. is there anyone who feels they could help please message me.
