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

Everyone keeps telling me to give myself time to heal from what i have been through but i have felt this way my entire life, they say give myself time i'm 17 about to be 18 in june and i have had nothing but time. Almost 18 years of time, what do i do? how can i heal when all i have had is time? i want to be happy but it's scary because being happy means i could end up back where i am now, the sadness is all i have ever known.....it is comforting in a way, to know that no matter what i go through i will feel this way at the end of it all.

Life is full of suffering... Why do we exist in the first place? Why are we still fighting to be here? Why is it so wrong to just end it? Why, why, why??? I'll never get an answer...

Everyone freaking leaves when I try to explain to them what I’m going through it freaking hurts and then I have no one to freaking talk to because I’m just a worthless person

I am always here if anyone needs to talk or just a shoulder to cry on. I'm just a message away.

@2ndchance Yes, life can be hard at times. I used to feel and ask questions why I am suffering? Life has taught me a few lessons. First, never give up. It is easy to say, "I throw in the towel," meaning giving up. Today after talking to others especially the people at my church, I live one day at a time. I totally ignore negativity from others and focus on being positive. It may not seem easy at first, but it can work, at least for me it did. Sure, I still have my days feeling down, but I make every effort to bounce back. For example, I enjoy reading and researching Florida's history because I was born here. I enjoy cooking, bible study, being part of focus groups. Basically, I am saying to keep my mind occupied in a positive way. What fun activities do you enjoy? I hope this helps.
