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

I have been tbere before and still am. I had a hard time in school I was in all special classes and my teachers would lose tbere patients so eventually they all passes me. Not recommended. I suffer from bipolar depression anexity and ptss. I moved away from everything I have been with hi. For 6 years he's got 3 kids his x wife won't divorce him. I think he cheated on me I know he did and try covering up. But I know the truth. I really have no one to talk to except my therapist and psychiatrist. No friends it's really hard sometimes but I push myself everyday. Thanks for listening

This is a bad year for me. I’m just done. I want to end things & not have to deal with anything anymore. The only thing keeping me alive is my son. His dad killed himself/had a car accident 2 years ago. I don’t want him to go through that again. I’m just sick of everything negative happening to me from medically, financially & everything else in between. I have no luck at all. I’m sitting at home now in my chair, crying. I no longer have any friends. Things with my boyfriend are a joke. Haven’t seen him in over 4 months. I’m ready to call in to work, but I know I’ll lose my job.

Hello everyone; I joined because I’ve discovered my boyfriend has been texting women inappropriately and had an affair involving three people. I feel really violated because we were still intimate and he never told me. It was months ago and i threw up and cried and I just wanted to stop feeling anything , I really need support
