I have been in a deep dark depression for 2 years. Single mom of teenage daughter. Can’t get out of bed most days but do so to go to a job so I can barely pay the bills and I come straight home every day and hide under the pillows and blankets. the only time I ever leave the house is to go to work…
I am a very energenic, reserved, intelligent, more confident, goal oriented, and loving person. Who is ready to live but sometimes it’s just so hard with these anxiety attacks getting worse. Just when I think I have them under control they get even more intense.
well,i am 29 yrs.old i have been under so much depression i am scared to get meds. cause of side effects.also i make myself feel them.its kinda hard to explain i feel i am thee only one out there…
Well, im 21 years old… and i just found out i’m bipolar. i knew i was manically depressed but i didnt know they were one in the same. the reason why im here is becuase ive been doing a lot of thinking and im tired of pushing those close to me away. i fell in love with the best man ill probably ever meet ( yea i now im young but i also know my feelings ) and i blew it. for no reason. hes so kind to me and so sweet and hes always here for me when no one else is. we broke up about 3 months ago now because he couldnt deal with my mood swings anymore… he lives with me so i try really hard to be good yet everyday i do something wrong on accident without even thinking. he told me we might have a chance getting back together if i learn to control my anger and sadness but i dont know how. he just told me before he went to sleep that everyday he see’s two sides of me. that hurt me so bad. i love him with all my heart but theres so much preventing me from showing it the way i want to. so thats why im here. i need help and i dont know where to go or what to do.
Mother of a 16 year old son who is suffering from clinical depression.
I recently was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, PSTD, and OCPD. I am looking for caring people who understand how I feel and hopefully provide me with helpful information. I hope that I can also be a help to others as they deal with their diagnoses.
My life seems to have been a curse. So many bad things have happened and i feel i have been depressed for such a long time and now everything has recently fallen apart again.
I’m 23 I have depression, panic, and anxiety disorders … as well as a slight OCD. But despite these things, I am trying very hard to live a “normal” life.
I just can’t seem to get motivated to get out and do something to unstress myself.I have had a very rough past year.My health is declining and that causes more depression.
I am fighting bi polar disorder
I have been living with chronic clinical depression for over nine (9) years. However, medications don’t seem to be working for me. Right now, I am in a very down state of mind and finding it hard to get myself back on track. I would like to see if others have any coping strategies they can share and see if I can be of some use in return.
Personally, I am single and have never married. I am, though, the proud aunt of seven (7) nieces and nephews plus four (4) great nieces and nephews who are the light of my life. Workwise, I teach composition and love my job as a teacher.
I have recently experienced some hard times which contribute, as you all know, to the depression. As I mentioned earlier, I hope this forum will be of help.

Hi, I’m Kendra and I’ve been suffering from depression/anger issues/chemical imbalance since about 2000 (probably before but this is when I decided to seek professional help). I have a one year old who is my LIFE now and I LOVE HER to death. I didn’t know what love was until I met her and I thank God for her little smile everytime I see her. She’s so beautiful. There’s a lot more to my story and my life but it’s actually pretty tame compared to the stories I’ve seen on here.
I would like to learn how other people find relief from depression.
I am 22 years old and just gave birth to my first child 11 days ago. I am feeling depressed and having anxiety.
I really just dont know what 2 say
I am tired of living with depression. I need to get well. I have been literally stopped from being able to move forward with my life and reach my goals. It is embarassing for me to admit but now that I have I want to get well.
I’M DEPRESED MOST OF THE TIME. I FEEL AS I HAVE NO FRIENDS. i DO HAVE FRIENDS & A HEALTHY FAMILY, THAT I AM THANKFUL FOR. BUT THAT DOES’NT TAKE AWAY THE BAD THOUGHTS & FEELINGS I HAVE EVERYDAY.
Suffering From Depression, anxiety, Panic Attacks I lived in Sarasota Fla ( Siesta Key ) for 31 years as a self employed General Contractor I got divorced in 1986 from what I thought was a perfect 14 yr. Marriage and basically been alone sine then. I had some really great relationships since then but none of them went the distance. I worked 7 Days a week even on all the holidays, Then last June I woke up one morning and couldn’t leave my house. I was Deeply Depressed and My Anxiety Attacks were full blown I had never felt it before so I didn’t know what was going on with me. I really thought I was losing my mind. I couldn’t even answer the phone and even turned my cell off. I had been treated for anxiety for years and it was well under control so I thought. For 7 months I stayed in my home alone just with my Puppy and only left late at night to get groceries. I lost everything I had worked for, for 30 years. I Lost my whole Business!! So I had to move to Lexington Ky 7 months later to stay with my family. I finally went to a Doc in Jan and he Put me on the Effexor it has helped a little bit and I pray that it will someday pull me out of this Black Doomy Hole that I am in, I still don’t answer the phone and my Cell is still off!!
i just recently found out i am a carrier for bipolar depression. i may have passed this on to my son. i am in need of someone to help me get him helped and diagnoised with this illness.
