I feel hurt/guilty when i say yes to something myself is not comfortable with

Yep, the point is to get out of your comfort zone @silentkev

Lately im doing this too, going out to parks or just hanging out in public spaces with people so that those walls of depression do not close in on me and start sucking my energy

idk about internet connections. i kind of had bad dealings trying to get close to people online. its not all that great and dont do it while depressed that was a lesson i learned several years ago while i was battling it. i went online to see if i could make a connection too, which i did but that person wasnt who or what they were saying they were and well that connection was lost and kind of ruins you more because when you are depressed you put too much of your emotions into others and its not safe to do so online

Since you been there im sure you know how much effort it takes to overcome these episodes. Sometimes you feel like giving up is easier than fighting it. Thanks for your precious contributions.

yep almost killed myself several times back then. was a really dark place to be, very empty yet painful. like your mind always was in pain. wouldnt go away. the sense of being worthless, a lot of self hating.

@winchesterbros glad you didnt do it. Someone experiencing it for first time might make that mistake. I think thats why a lot ofteens are succumbing because they dont understand what is happening. During my first times it was scary but im glad i had girlfriend confided to

@GoodoldBob thank you im currently pushing myself outdoors to find some helpful groups

@silentkev I figure at least you have something to talk about with the new people you meet because you have the same hobby or whatever.

silentkev · 31-35, M

@GoodoldBob Me too, i guess shared interests will form basis for good conversations that will ground us socially

Yes thank you, i understand its upto me to find them. I dont take meds because i dont want to depend on them. You get hooked bad as the years go by so i made that choice. I have lived like that for many years and some weeks/months i do great then comes a season when crash and i have to endure because it will wear off and i will bounce back. Im grateful for your advice too.
