Who Wants To Talk About Something Depressing, Like Our Power Bills So Far This Summer?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I'm on the east coast of SC, and the summers are so sweaty here thanks to the humidity. 🥵

Our power bills have been around the $100 mark, which actually isn't bad considering we (my mom and I) live in a single-wide (1,280 sqft). We use 3 window units, one 12k BTU for the middle of the house, and two 8k BTU units for each end of the house in our bedrooms. It keeps us and the pets comfy. Our outdoor kitties have a shaded kitty fort to relax under. They are welcome to come in, but prefer to be… read more

Does Anyone Else Have A Fear Of Talking To Family Or Friends About Depression Or Suicidal Thoughts
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question đź’­

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

Fear Of Failure Stops Me Even Trying
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Okay here's a thing that really limits my life. Why, because of the way I feel if something I try does not work out as expected. I feel real bad. This manifests in physical symptoms like increased heart rate and butterflies in the stomach. Some examples of this are unwillingness to join online games, difficulty in consistently practicing the piano. Panicky feelings if I screw up at work or upset someone who has the power to kick me out of their home. Yet I know those failures are what helps us… read more
