What is something to look forward to?

I pulled myself out of depression and lost 20% of my body weight because I had something to look forward to and a deadline. Covid took that from me and now I'm sliding back into the darkness. What is something I can look forward to?

Feeling low because of past experiences.

The people I have come across with only care about themselves and as soon as your relationship with them terminates, they treat you like dirt because you mean nothing to them anymore. They treat you like dirt by degrading you, comparing you and doing...

I hate this feeling

I have battled depression and pulled through. Does anyone battling depression need a friend to talk to?

I found a list of things that people say to hurting people who are suffering with depression.

People with depression are really struggling. They didn't ask for any of this, they don't want to be like this. And saying things like these is very damaging. 0. “What’s *your* problem?” 1. “Will you stop that constant whining? What make...

Trying a new med

Lamictal, here I come Please be gentle 😣

Im afraid my psychosis is starting to show

Kept a lid on it all these years but its like a game of whack a mole, to keep it down. And I'm tired

If you dont want to cry midday at work, are you even off your meds?

Cause I am and this blows

I’m broken beyond repair and I don’t see a reason to go on living anymore

Like in real war it's about surviving.

The one positive about fighting depression is that once you come through it you realize how strong you really are.

Somehow it's like I'm using this place as my diary and only use it when necessary. Last week Tuesday I stopped taking antidepressants for 4 weeks straight. Somehow it's like it got worse- the depression. I've been crying si...

New stressors have made recovery quite challenging. I’m constantly trying to remember the coping techniques that I’ve learned, but there are times I get swept away by the flood of negative emotions. Bright side is, I’ve not had suicidal thoughts thr...

I Battle Depression

Everyone always expects us to be okay, and say that we’re fine when asked, regardless of whether it is true or not. I was never taught how to be okay with admitting that I’m not just fine. So I’m, fine, to others. I deal with it, and ignore it for...

I’ve been spiraling. I’ve been angry. I’ve been bitter. I feel like I’m a walking emotional timebomb. I’m not sure if this is a withdrawal symptom (it’s been a month since they started to wean me off my medication), or it’s just me, slowly breaking...

They’re weaning me off my antidepressants, because I’ve made so much progress. It’s scary, like riding a bike without training wheels for the first time.

I have battled depression my entire life. It seems there is no escape from it. I have tried to talk to others about it but they don't really understand. I wish there was someone I could talk to about anything and not be judged.
