Self Harm. Scars
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had something happen the other day that embarrassed me and then made me angry. I used to burn. The inside of my left arm is a mass of scars. There are also some cut scars on each arm. There’s no way to cover them. Long sleeves when it’s 90+ out are not an option. I’ve never had anyone ask me to my face what was on my arm. The other day while sitting with other people this woman asked what was on my arm!!!!! I quickly hid it and mumbled a non answer. Now I’m furious. Has anyone else… read more

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I know that it helps me to receive a smile and maybe a “HI” or “HELLO” so we have to imagine what it will do for others.
It was just a random thought.

Do You Always Feel Like You Don't Deserve Anything Good In Your Life? So, You Sabotage Yourself And Don't Get Any Good?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is this a sick mindset, or what???? But, I've got it, and am wondering if anyone else feels this way.

A MyDepressionTeam Member

I've just started a new diet but find the drugs cause carb cravings and increased appetite. How do people deal with this problem? I feel in despair about it as when I come off the… read more
