How lucky you are to have a mother who understand your depression...

[gabrielagonzalez]

Having depression is one of the most torturous things in life. It changed my whole person, after many years I think I haven't recovered much of who I was before depression. My family didn't support me or maybe they didn't know how to deal with me and my emotions, the only person who was with me during my dark days was my litle brother, he was just 9 years old but he was smart enough to see that something wrong was happening to me. He did his best to help me, he used to watch TV by my side to secure I had a good time, but, of course, nothing could take away this thing to me, my mind couldn't stop. I learned how to "live" with it and how to hide my feelings. I lost my way and I did things that now I regret. I had to work a lot with myself, I searched for professional help and now I feel better.

Severe depression is unimaginably painful, hard to describe unless you’ve been through it

[brooklynbaywatch]

I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone, lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.

I’m also having a severe depression and anxiety, I was a former OFW, a key account execution manager and had a 22 yrs of experience in sales. Unfortunately, I committed a lot of mistakes in the past that caused these anxiety and depression, my family left me, I got nothing except my old mother who’s helping me and the only person right now that understands me, I wanted to be cured and I really wanted to get of this sickness. I really need a help. How I wish I can also be healed and get back to society to become a better person and can help my fellows who are also suffering the same

I was just diagnosed last week... and i started with my meds last Friday... I was already feeling sad and overwhelmed and having PSI since the pandemic started. there were bright days.. but the dark days far outnumbered the bright ones... my first dog died January this year and his passing broke me.
I was getting angry at the smallest of things... and i snap at my parents, shout at my dog just because i was feeling frustrated at everything that was happening....
It felt good to talk to the psychiatrist... It felt good to be heard. And since i started the meds, i feel a lighter.. and the mundane things that usually make me angry and ruin my day, i was able to tolerate them a bit better.
It's a scary journey that i am taking... but i know that I will get better one day.

For those that are dealing with it alone, can we start a virtual support since we are from different parts of the world, I can coordinate the group???anyone out

[VickyCombs]

Dear Reader,
You are not alone. I was diagnosed 7 years ago. I have tried 4 different medications. I am finally on one that helps. No more fatigue, my appetite is normal and I feel motivated. It can be scary. Please talk to friends and/or family about your struggle. Keeping it to yourself is so isolating. You can do this, you deserve to be happy and you will be. It gets better.

I have dealt with depressive episode all my life, and believe me family and friends to date. were, and are not very helpful, i deal with it myself, i think they all need help themselves, believe me, they were and are vicious in their opinions of me, they, mainly family, all tell me i need help, when they are the ones with the real issues... ex:, my youngest brother tried to kill himself, and i know will do it again, my 2nd to the youngest sister, stays in a co - dependent relationship. (marriage), for 47 or so years, both her boys are messed up, in one way or another, and she loathes me for having the strength to move on from both of my x husband's, because of their abuse to me.. There is a lot more here, than meets the eye, i would be here for a month telling you about all their disorders, in which, are worse than mine.. Thank You for this video.. My childhood friend is a Therapist and owns her own clinics, she told me just today through a private message i was the only normal one in my family, and she decided to do this kind of work because of my family, and her brother, thanks for reading this...

[ursellanowases]

Is there a virtual support group anyone knows of you don't have to be in the same country?if not can we please start a support group and help support oneanother????

[marthasolomon]

The daily... Hourly struggle with suicidal thoughts....for years no rain or shine my first thought at waking up is I want to die... Nothing wrong specifically that made me dread the day... The moment I opened my eyes it engulfed me.. Kept me in bed... Made me lose all my friends.. Made me lose connection with my family... And I'm still in the thick of it and I don't know what to do

[chrisms]

[ojcolekai]

This is me right now. Life sucks right now. 99% of me wants to give up and 1% of me says not to.

[LeoNaRdOBarRuGA]

I’m dealing this alone… sobrang lungkot, sobrang hirap, sobrang sakit. Yung pain na hindi ko alam saan galing, yung darkness, loneliness and extreme sadness. Bumabaon sa puso ko. Sa utak ko, hindi ako makatulog, hindi ako makapag concentrate, lagi akong tulala, d makausap, parng walang bagay o tao na makakapag pasaya sakin kaht nasakin naman lahat ng yun, walang kulang sa buhay ko, pera, career, family, I was loved, but there’s one person who i loved the most na biglang naglaho. And that triggered the sadness. It’s been a year. But instead of healing through time.. i got worst. I cant handle it, its killing me inside

[BrittanyErdmann]

Accept life as what it is, go with the flow of life. Dun blame our self for what beyond our control.
Every one of us is here for a moment, just make our self happy .
I believe most depression is a spiritual awakening more then a illness. So dun ever self stigmatise .
Have hope that in time you will see the light after the dark night of the soul.
