I am depressed and wish I knew how to ask for help

I don't.
I realize I've been a shoulder to cry on for some ,but I don't have a shoulder,anymore, for myself.
I feel totally isolated and alone.
I want someone who's there for me emotionally.
At a dark place right now I really feel like if I died there be very few people who would even care.
And I don't need any feel good lectures not trying to be rude ,but it doesn't help.

If you post something that is unkind or unhelpful it will be deleted.

@SleepingWithGhosts Thank you for saying so. Rae’s awesome, one of the kindest people ever. I’ve known her since EP (the forerunner to this site) possibly for about 10-15 years now ? 🤗

I am sorry things are so tough for you right now. Grief is very hard and takes a lot of time to overcome. Don't feel shame to be depressed or to ask for help. I'm actually going through this myself currently and a lot of times feel like I have no one to turn to either. But we have more looking out for us than you could ever imagine. If you need to talk or need a friend, I'm here for you. 🫂

I can relate, and I’m so sorry you’re in such a dark place. It’s miserable, I know. If it helps you at all, I get some (not much, but some) relief by talking it out with an AI like ChatGPT or Claude. It’s not great, but it does at least provide some small comfort. I hope you find some light at the end of the tunnel soon…and that the light doesn’t turn out to be an oncoming train 🤗

@Zaphod42 I really don't like therapy, I've come to that conclusion it doesn't help me -I don't know why.
I do appreciate the concerning suggestion, however.

I also suffer from depression. It sucks. May this site be a comfort to you. May God bring positive experiences your way.

@Mindful I do have many positive experiences here I wish that made the depression go away but I suppose you know it doesn't.
That's not the fault of anyone here.

If writing your feelings helps, that's something. People read what we write here and hopefully, not only do we have some kind of outlet for all the rage, sadness and fear of doing life alone but we get to show others they are not alone in what they are feeling too. Please go to the doctors and get some help and if you want , you can message me, you know I can absolutely relate to what you've been through and still are Xx

@PatientlyWaiting25 I actually hate therapy.
I've tried it several times it makes me feel a lot worse.
I don't have much of a problem writing things out, but I do have a lot of problem asking for help.

@Justmeraeagain I'm not sure why we do, probably because we feel like a burden or that we're judged somehow for not being as 'together' as we might Idk.

@Justmeraeagain I must have messaged you in the past and it does not let you message again unless there is a reply. Hopefully what ever it was I said in the past was appropriate. Sorry to hear about the depression, most people don't know how bad that can be.
