One thing you can do is take everything you use to cut yourself with, put it in a bag and give it to someone until you can stop. I use to do some things to hurt myself because I thought I was a… read more
I find myself watching tv & my mind isn't really watching it & I will start crying uncontrollably for no reason. Is there a way to stop this crying so much when I don't even know why or what I'm crying about?
It happens to me at times, and when I do I cannot stop crying either, hubby is of no help and he does not know most of the time about this.

I was diagnosed about 15 years ago and each episode gets worse. I'm in therapy, taking meds; in short I'm working very hard, but still struggling. Recently I heard that someone in their mid seventies took their own life. I'm 59 and terrified that I'll be struggling forever. Depression is such a dark place to live.

Lately I have been crying uncontrollably at movies and songs, but I sometimes know why I cry, because of childhood trauma that I experienced as a young child and am just trying to overcome and heal from it now
Grade school bullying was just the beginning for me

Some times it is like walking on egg shells around her. I feel it is all my fault because I suffer from depression and she inherited it from me . I don’t understand anxiety… read more
Most of the time, I think crying, is beneficial to our psyche. It releases so much stress, and most the time you tend to feel better afterwards. If you’re not experiencing this, when you cry, you just… read more
Afraid of getting my hopes up and afraid of taking unnecessary risks if Depressive episode is in fact over.
I don’t mean to be rude, but if we knew that we wouldn’t be suffering like we do
