It's hard for me to determine if I am helping or hindering recovery. I would like to hear from others what is helpful and/or other suggestions. Thank you!
Thank you for your comment, @A MyDepressionTeam Member. It's always good to get a different perspective.
I have lost my desire to live. I'm not suicidal, but thoughts of my death sits on my mind like a jack in the box waiting to spring into action
I am unemployed and with financial struggles, feel the pressure of getting a job overwhelming. i feel like I'm not able to commit to anything because I will fail. My depression takes over, my body hurts and I'm not able to get out of bed. I would just end up losing whatever job I manage to get

I understand the feeling of having something good happen only to have it snatched away. I feel like I'm not supposed to have any happiness in my life.

I often look at photos and ask what happened to me. Can we ever bring ourselves back?
I just pray everyday that God heal me completely. In the name of Jesus
I am 19 which is quite young I understand, but whenever I try to talk to someone about being depressed or how I have a mental illness a lot of people just say I am being over dramatic when I have been diagnosed by a psychiatrist and have been admitted before. Why don't people believe me? Is it just cause of my age?
I think it’s because it’s been overlay, discussed, and diagnosed and opinionated by person who do not suffer our problems, it simply been Overly discussed without the seriousness that comes with it
Do your family members know about your depression, and are they supportive?
Do you find that you have to hide your status in fear of being labelled a "crazy person?"
Some things just shouldn’t be in the light some can’t handle it
For most of my life I have felt isolated and like no one actually cares about me. I have a really hard time figuring out what emotions I’m dealing with and I feel like a bother to everyone. I feel as though there is no way I can have a future. With that said I feel like there’s no reason for me to feel this way. I know that I could talk to people but on the rare occasion that I do I feel like they would rather be anywhere else so why even bother. The thing is that I also know people that have… read more
You have described what I have been feeling and going thru most of my life, and I have depression; there is nothing wrong with seeking help for yourself, with a therapist. I see one every week… read more
Hard to describe this but I mean like does anyone feel numb at times but just carries on with daily life. Like as if you don't want to do anything. You feel nothing but no point explaining to anyone knowing they won't understand as they haven't been through depression and that?
From my experience though, all feelings change. The same one might come back time and time again, but it doesn't stay constant forever! It just feels like it is that way! I look at the tough feelings… read more
Does it effect ur sex drive cause I have no sex drive
Depression by itself can affect your sex drive with someone else but not necessarily by yourself and even if you have sex with your spouse/partner just to please them, it's certainly not the same as… read more
I feel like depression has screwed up 2 jobs for me, now I am feeling the strain in my 3rd too. I try but just have zero motivation to the point where the town clock chimes 10am one monent, 11am the next and I've barely done anything. I am teetering on the edge of dismissal. I feel like every job I get will end this way. Will I ever be good at a job again??
You must stay positive. Part of being successful at work is doing something you like. What things do you like to do that might lead to employment?
Is it normal to feel numb while depressed? Like, Your emotions are dull?
No, being numb is not the same as being heartless, not at all. Sometimes, we shut down for any number of reasons, and it is self-protective, or a defense against being overwhelmed. Perhaps look at… read more
