Have you thought about getting help?

i am too… nothing goes right eh? just cry out loud… let it all go… all go within your tears…

I was diagnosed with Depression over a year ago, and was able to get myself help. I would really like to try to help you, which it seems like you are asking for. That goes for LivingShame as well. Leave me a shoutout or make me a friend, or some other way of contacting you, that way, I can tell you my story, and hopefully help you as well.

What is making you so sad?

my e-mail address is jakeman1020 @ comcast.net (minus the spaces) I do not know you, and you dont know me, which is why it might work. You dont even need to tell me your name, but I would truly like to talk to the both of you and hear your stories. Please e-mail me. I want to try to help.

I know what you mean. Everything is going so right for me right now, but I just can’t be happy about it. I just want to die…I’ve never felt so alone in my life.

i feel the same… only that everything is going wrong for me… got no friends… got nobody… loneliness… i dont know what to say… i dont think it will ever change for me…

Ok, it is great that you guys are talking about how you feel, now do some of you want to talk about why you feel this way and what you can do about it?

Its funny how all of us are alone and crying the same pain.
Surrounded by people, yet we cry our loneliness.

Anonymus, there must be something bothering you; depression doesn’t just come out of nowhere; you have to think and deal with what is bothering you. I’m sure it’s something big but worth fighting against.(Maybe ask for professional help if you see that you can not deal with it by yourself.)

Why do I feel this way? I don’t know why I feel this way, I just do. Does it matter either way? Still end up the same…

Okey, I answered that already, It’s up to you to stay pitying yourself forever or you can do what I adviced you to.

Actually that reply was directed toward JoJo response, not yours.

Okey, Pitying yourself it is :)

I’m not pitying myself…idk what you’re talking about. I feel awful like dying even though everything is fine in my life. Idk why and I really don’t care. This is why I don’t bother posting here…you people are assholes. Just so you know, I’m not the one who started the post, I just feel the same as the person who did.

Hey, Amelia and anonymous if you are not the same person, I would love to talk to you. I have had similar problems and would love to try and help you find a way to move forward in your life. Can you tell me when you first started feeling this way?

I know life isn’t pointless, but today I just feel like I don’t want to be alive anymore. I know this will pass, but it keeps going on for weeks at a time.
it is really difficult to find a doctor here - just moved to a new city, and no one seems to be taking new patients.

Just have to wrench out the energy to get things done, only it isn’t there,and then I feel lousy about all of the things i haven’t done.

I am alone, and I know it will get better, i just want to hold on until it does.
only the pain in my head hurts so much, and it feels easier sometimes just to let go.

I get so angry and upset with my husband all the time. The littlest, most insignificant comments and actions affect me so much - it’s ridiculous. I can’t seem to not let anything get to me anymore. Have used medication, just eases the crying a bit, but being so irritable all the time is taking it’s toll. Every piece of advice, comment, people trying to help me, I can’t seem to not take personally. I’m stupidly oversensitive and am always so depressed these days. I have no motivation to do anything anymore. I have little excitement or positive feelings about living but I don’t want to commit suicide either - I’m a strong catholic, even though my prayers remain unanswered. Can anyone help? I don’t know what to do. Neither does my husband. He just wakes up each morning and puts the past day behind him. Guess I don’t blame him. He just takes all of of my anger, disrespect and snapping at him. I really need help but the medication is not near enough help.

Hi rinny, i know what you mean. I was ready to give up this morning, it was like the other mornings only more so. I prayed to God for help, and then was asked, how can he get through to me; i didn’t want to talk to anyone, my phone was off, i was cut off from the world. I opened up. I checked my email. i called friends, i gave when I didn’t feel like giving, and they gave back. Rinny, i want to give you a hug too, and tell you it will be okay even if it doesn’t feel like, it and even if things feel terrible. It isn’t easy to get through things. I wish it was, but it isn’t. There are many causes to depression - low grade pain, allergies, hormones. Not all medications work. Please don’t give up hope. You are important, and loveable.

thank you for your kind words marie. It just feels like an endless waiting period for a permanent change. It’s difficult when you feel that there is no one to reach out to and explicitly describe how you feel. It makes you realise how alone you are in your life. I admire you for your ability to stay more positive about your situation than I seem to be able to.

Hi Rinny, i’m lucky, i took the chance, and told other people i was close to what i was going through. They have given me support. The other thing that really helped me was reaching out to others in the same situation as i am in, to give support. I reached out on this site and other people helped me, I am happy to pass that on. I was ready to die yesterday, and i prayed, and reached out, and so many people answered, i was amazed. Rinny there is joy in our lives, it may only seem like small things, but there is joy. Change often happens in small things first.
I hope you can find joy in something today. You are loveable, and acceptable as you are.

I feel harassed and upset though I don’t have a clear reason why. Sometimes people get fed up, and they want to go and tell life to just get it over with and send them into a coffin. I’ve thought that a lot of times and I’m still a kid compared to everyone else (don’t judge a persons words by their age).
But, to anyone who has those kind of thoughts and is reading this: stop being weak, stop being selfish.
When you’re depressed and when I’m depressed, it’s just because we’re sick and tired of things the way they are now and we’re upset with how we’re leading our lives. It’s like we have no goal. No reason to be here.
Well, you do have a reason.
You’re here because you’re here. If you’re upset with how you’re living then go out there and help someone else with their life. You think the people in war-filled countries are thinking about suicide? You think single Mom’s trying to find food for their kids think about suicide? Show some gratitude.
God’s there you know. He’s always, always there whether you feel him or not. No matter what religion, situation or person. God’s always with the people He has made. Are you just gonna turn around and say “Nah, I’m fed up. Take me back to hell or heaven or whatever”
You’re not in charge of your life and how things go. You can’t just throw in the towel. Whoever you are, listen to this; till your times up you better not take the easy way out of this, because if you do, I will never, ever forgive you. You can make things better. You can call people and they’ll help you out. Don’t ruin your life by giving into depression. Lots of people have good reasons to be depressed but do you see war-victims commitiing suicide? Do you see starving people committing suicide? Do you see thirsty children commiting suicide? Do you see the elderly, the sick and the injured committing suicide?! NO! Because they want to live.
So don’t you dare mock the people fighting for their lives by trashing up your life for silly reasons like depression! I’ve been in and out of it before and if a thirteen year old girl can do it then, by God, so can you!
And if you read this and don’t take my advise, believe me I will cry when I see you wherever you end up.

That’s all I have to say. Thankfully, now I don’t feel so bothered because I remembered how dum it is to act like I’m acting now. I’m off to wake up my Mom and tell her I love her, because I don’t know how long I’ll be able to. I’m sensitive. I could be back in the hospital tomorrow or in my coffin WAY before my time. But I’m not complaining. I’m getting through this, just you see if I’m not here in twenty years!

I don’t judge your words by your age. I judge your age by your words.

Depression is an illness. Just remember that. People with depression can’t always get through it on their own - just like many other ilnesses, it can incapacitate people, just in a different way. Depression often inhibits people in such a way that they really do really on the help and the psychological and emotional strength of other people. What do you think this forum is for? It is for people to externalise their thoughts, and heaven forbid may even get a response from some kind person who empathises with them. Sometimes just that in itself, empathy, helps.

Do as little harm to others as you can; make any sacrifice for your true friends; be responsible for yourself and ask nothing of others; and grab all the fun you can. Don’t give much thought to yesterday, don’t worry about tomorrow, live in the moment, and trust that your existence has meaning even when the world seems to be all blind chance and chaos.

rinny10, in my opinion, illnesses and depression only happen because we let them. I’m not saying you need to face it by yourself BUT you need to WANT to fight an illness before you can face it. Doctors can’t cure someone if they don’t want to be cured.
Though most people won’t agree with me, there’s always a little part of yourself that enjoys being weak and frail and getting attention from people. I’m warning that -we-you-I-people shouldn’t let that part grow.
You have to pick up the phone to call for help, otherwise you might end up on your own.

I have plenty of reasons to cry, but I can’t. I just have this piercing ache in my chest. I just want to die. Why can’t I just die? I’m tired of holding this whole family together. It’s all going to just go to **** on me anyway.

Everybody’s talking about the reasons to live. I simply can tell, I have all the right reasons not to. It really should be a choice. And I don’t generally like people that much to actually want to help them ( I suck at pretending as well), so this pretty much makes me useless. So why waste this precious oxygen? I never learned, or wanted to be a part of any community. But you, people, should stick to each other ;)good luck!

im sat crying as i write this, its all i seem to do theses days. my husband and kids have had enough of me shouting and crying, ive had enough of me shouting and crying,. i take anti depresants but they dont do anything and all my doctor says is do i want to talk to someone argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh like thats gunna solve all my problems.

I don’t know what to do anymore. Putting up this happy facade is exhausting. I have no thoughts of suicide, although the notion of it all going away is attractive, I must say.
Anyhoo, seemed like a nice place to vent.

all you people need is to be optimistic guys..i know its easier said than done but come on its worth a try.i also suffered from severe depression i year back and it took me alost 9 months to recover to my original state..no i did not take any medication or took any counselling..all i did was enjoy life and tried 2 eliminate the problems in my life

thats really hard to believe. probably u never suffered any depression..

i used to talk to my friend about it..she helped me through out this hard period..all i used to do was cry for no reason at all.i used to avoid going to places lik anywhere out,it used to make me a nervous freak,i used to get so anxious that i used to panic and wanted to get out of that place ASAP.trust me guys talking to a friend helps a great deal.and try to find the reason,az in wts th reason u r in depression.my friend helped in finding my problem,although i knew my problem but it was somewhere deep down and i didnt realized.
PS:nd yea i did not go to any doc.for professinal counselling nd i did nt take any medications,cez medicines won’t help,ul onli gt addicted to them and ruin your lif..nd yea therez this program online lessons by barry joe mcdonagh its cald panic attack mini course,its a 7 lesson course nd its gna help u alot..
i hope and pray for all of u :)

Heres my story: It has been the worst 2009-2011 I have ever had! First my 3rd son got engaged on Christmas 2009 to a girl he had been with for 5 yrs. I was so excited. Her sister is maid of honor and when she started talking about a shower I sent her an email saying and I quote”I would love to help in anyway possible with the shower, we are so excited to have Jess in our lives” I got back (from the bride to be and her sister)pages upon pages of email ripping me apart and copied to everyone in their family, the whole bridal party and some extended family members for whatever reason - I was crushed, hurt and pissed off. All this after being asked to foot most of the bill for the wedding/recp. because her father refusing to give more than a token amount! Verbal war happens, crying, hollaring etc. Then we come to an understanding, sort of make amends, we now realize this girl has never liked us - which we can deal with, but now our son feels he needs to call everyday to chat he is constantly walking on eggshells trying to please everyone. Then, my managerial job is abolished and I am unemployed at 56yrs old. UGH- that is easy to deal with-then, our 4th child-dtr. is gay and gets an engagement ring from her partner on New Years while we are away and calls to tell us the news - well all in the family have embraced this except me - I am finding that hard to deal with. We sat down to dinner with her as she wants the whole fairy tale wedding - huge wedding, and reception we needed to explain what we were willing to do for her and how we were uncomfortable inviting the whole extended italian catholic family to this affair after she has to get married in another state as its not legal in our state. We told her we would pay for immed. family and 3 of their closest couple friends only for dinner, money towards the wedding gown she wants and a week of our time share whereever they want for a honeymoon. Our immed. family is 13 and their friends would make it 19. She calls me with this grand place for the reception that requires 75 min. 2000. site rental - I asked how they were planning on saving for this in such a short time as we were only paying for the 19 people - she went off on me = screaming now I am dead to her! She really has always just bull dozed her way around when she didn’t get what she wanted until she made such scenes that we ususally compromised - well not this time. I am really not comfortable with this and we really don’t have another 14000.00 to come up with in such a short time. Her and I have always been close - she is a professional-college educated, works for a large co. even if her partner was a male we could not have afforded what they want in such a short amount of time between weddings. so…fighting and uncomfortable family gatherings with the son/fiance, no job, and now dead to my youngest dtr and best friend all I want to do is cry! Anybody have any suggestions?

I feel the same way.. I feel really down and i could cry at any moment. If anybody says anything to me, i have the need to cry.
Almost to the point where i lock myself in my room and just let it all out, i try not to hit myself but i do..(not cutting myself but just punching me in the head because I’m mad at myself for crying)

If you were to look at me, you would probably think that I’m a normal looking 18year old… but on the inside I’m seriously down in the dumps all the time. I have no idea why.. it kind of came upon me.
My childhood was a normal happy childhood. But now its all changed..

My parents are not strict and would talk to me about anything, but i just can’t talk to them about this.. its almost embarrassing.

Can anyone help or tell me what is wrong with me?

My sister in law was suffering from depression. She was hiven zoloft. Her and my brother were married for one month. She was an amazing beautiful women. Died at 21. She was a strong christian. I am depressed. I feel like im trapped inside my head. I want a vacation from my own self. Please god help me. What does this all mean?
