I met someone who means a lot to me. He has the ability to make me smile and be happy. Feeling this lucky by being loved by the right person, will I still be dependent on the medication?

I have been forced in and out of phych hospitals since I was a teen. Now even when I have no intentions of harming myself. I find my self unable to share depression symptoms or self harm thoughts with anyone especially close friends and family due to the fear they may over react and try to control my life or have me hospitalized again. This keeps me even more isolated because I worry I won’t be able to keep up the act that I’m happy and fine when I spend time with them. Has anyone else had this… read more

The past two years of my life have been like an out of body experience. I always knew that if I could return to the year before my mental decline, I could get my life back. Recently I had the worst meltdown I’ve ever had and afterwards I woke up “in 2021.” After enough pain, I got my wish. Is this a common thing?

I am in the first relationship since the passing of my husband. I feel angry All of the time. He can't do anything right, feel insecure, very very angry. I've always had trouble with all of my relationships, I could have sworn I was ok and could be in a relationship. Why can't I have a normal relationship?

I've been talking to myself every since I was a little girl & now that I'm Grown I still do. Talking to myself with Imaginary Friends helps me throughout my day, because I don't have any Friends & I can't (couldn't) talk to my Family. So having Imaginary Friends who really listen & understand (understood) me was the only way I could deal with things & know I don't have to worry about anything I say getting back to anyone.

I grew up with domestic violence, which has really affected me a lot. But I didn't realise how much until recently. It has made me very afraid of people, and especially men. It took a lot of work for me to even be able to hug people. I would always try to avoid guys, and never ended up dating anyone. My whole life, my physical contact with people and especially men has been very limited. I only just dated a guy for the first time recently, and I'm 27! I also find it difficult to maintain eye… read more

Have also been having really dark thoughts. There are times during the day when I have to lie down. Instead of things getting better I'm feeling worse. I've been to a psychologist and I have situational depression. I feel trapped & isolated and deeply deeply hurt by some events that happened this year. I've never been like this before. Nothing is helping. I'm starting to give up.

Background info: I've been depressed for over 25 years, was married, and had 2kids. I have been alone for over 16 years now, and can't believe that someone would even want to be with me. For all my shortcomings, depression and lack of self esteem. My kids mean the world to me, but they are older now and moving on with their own lives. I'm scared, terrified and afraid to even want to get close to someone male. I don't want just sex, i want a relationship. One that isn't one sided, on my… read more
