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
Someone told me this a few years ago & could not understand what was meant, but now understand & am feeling really good about myself, so much that I am now ready to take that step forward & find that… 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?
I understand it I go to that place when things happen like a friend died about a fortnight ago and that was my first response that and fear and crying were my first responses and still Abit numb now… read more
The following empty posts are for the gratitude group I've brought together, if you wish to, you also can join it, and post 3 things, everyday, that you are grateful for, and one thing that you are going to do for yourself that day, like getting a mani or pedi, getting your hair cut, walking, running, anything that would make you happy!

Yes, too bad it's now so far down the Q&A, but for a little while my team members were using it quite often, your idea is a good one.

Yes, and that is why I will have to have brainless, repetitive jobs for the rest of my life. I just cannot learn very difficult jobs anymore.
I really struggle with this and feel guilty and worthless sometimes and my life feels pointless.
I don’t want to go on half the but please don’t give up
Done with criticism.
Some people use criticism as a way of critiquing. They should try to soften up their motif. There are a lot of great possibilities to critiquing, but some people get the two confused. The receiver and… read more
Hey, do you ever feel that way
I feel really heavy often and I lack the energy to even converse with people
When I play sports I run out of breath very quickly and I used to be a competitive athlete with amazing cardio.
I've done all the tests out there and keep going back to my GP and my doc what else can we test and do about it.
Of course all th tests came back negative. It's been lasting for about 3 years now and is so debilitating. I also feel slow and sluggish often.

Daily I feel so tired no energy I know what I need to do or what I need to get done but have no energy to do it. Some days I have to push to shower. This is what depression can do to a person
im stuck in the situation where i feel like im not good enough, and that im not really that beautiful. Any helpful tips to try and make myself seem a little better?
I think there is too much obsession over looks these days
I find I forget quite significant things that have happened from the day before. My processing skills are really slow, and I find it really difficult to concentrate and not loose my way in conversations. If someone asks me what they have just said, I can't remember. I can't follow TV programmes and films, I can't concentrate on them long enough for them to makes sense.
Yes it is certainly scary
It frustrates me that ppl don’t understand that you can’t process or retain things like you used to.
