Hi I am absolutely new. And I'm not just depressed, I am desperate! Desperate for some type of different!! Change...within ne with my s/o. It's so not easy being in a relationship with someone you believe may just be a true narcissist. A vulnerable narcissist at that. I feel like I'm going nowhere and I'm losing myself in the process! I'm in dire need of help!!

i guys. I just joined, and I'm having horrible episodes of anxiety and depression... Much more often recently. I need someone to talk to who can listen and just... Be a human and talk back with me. :( I have a strong Christian faith, and I need some extra support to help supplement the prayers. I know God can and does put people in positions to help others. I feel like everyone (my own mother and my in-laws) hates me. There's a story there, not just random feelings. I don't know if it's my anxiety, my depression... I feel like I've been trying to fit in with people my whole life and just feel... Different. Misunderstood. I don't even know if this will make sense to anybody, as I'm in tears at the moment. I have no friends anymore. I'm married and have kids, and the depression completely ruins my parenting. There's just... So much I could tell you all. If anyone feels like talking, it would be a lifesaver. If there is a FEMALE (I'm married), who might even like to just text... That would be awesome. I know that's a bit unconventional. I'm just looking for someone who understands. Thanks for reading.
Sincerely,
Brittany.

I have struggled with intermittent explosive disorder and bipolar 1 and depression and PTSD. It takes a toll on my relationship with my fiance. I try to talk to him but when someone doesn't under why you act the way you do it's hard to talk. Does that make sense?

Hello everyone,
I am divorcing my husband (who still doesn’t want to let me go) and I already live with a new partner(lesbian) who was diagnosed with a borderline. I didn‘t recognize how I became so depressed lately. I am tired of pretending that everything is alright and hiding my sexuality from my family, tired of my ex husband and my girlfriend’s rage, tired from not understanding what I want… sometimes I feel like the best way would be to escape and leave everyone alone, but I am afraid of making a mistake, afraid of my girlfriend hurting herself… and at the same time I feel so guilty for causing them so much pain

@Tsakani I'm so sorry you had to go through such horrible things. I was raped and molested for years. It's hard to make or keep friends. Remember it's never your fault. If you ever need a friend I'm here . Hugs 🤗

Hi! Your life is precious. Your kids need you. I am trying something out, a treatment called Spravato. I am also very depressed. I live in Florida and there is a medical facility here that offers it. Please do not give up. Message me here anytime.

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
