Hello, I am new to this site and I'm not exactly sure how it works. But I really need someone to talk to, obviously. Please respond whoever can help me.
Hello Ashley, I am a relatively new member to this site, and I am in need of someone to talk to about how I feel. I suffer in silence of depression, social phobia, and severe shyness. I feel like I have no people to talk to about my problems. Can you help me possibly?
I am a teenage boy, and I have had depression for quite a while, except the past few months have been very miserable for me. I feel neglected and abandoned from people, and I don't have many friends. I am extremely timid and I have a socialization problem. I have been rejected by every girl that I have been interested in, which has lowered my confidence very severely. I am starting therapy again, and my first appointment is next week. Can you help me at all?
Thank you, Josie and Courage, for taking the time to respond to me. I will certainly read through the sections that I am particularly struggling in. I am in love with this girl, who I also feel to be close friends with. She's one of the only friends I have. And she understands my feelings because she also has had depression. But when I told her my feelings for her, she did not feel the same way about me. And every day I seem to be falling further in love with her and the torture of being without her is eating me alive. I can't live without her. I also write poetry in my spare time, mostly about love and anguish.
Update: Today at school I found out that the girl I am in love with is dating another guy. And when I overheard her say that to a friend when they were talking, I left the library we were in to go to the bathroom. And I spent an hour sitting alone in there panicking and crying.
Yes I completely understand what you are saying, Courage. It does make your heart stronger. I had my heart broken by a different girl a while back, and after so much pain, I learned that some people just aren't worth the pain. But the girl I'm in love with now, she's worth it, even if it takes me years to show her my love for her, I won't give up.
I understand the pain that you are going through. I too am a teenager fighting depression instead of living life to the fullest. And I cry my heart out almost every night. I've been on a very depressive spiral and I'm taking my medication, but sometimes it feels like whatever I do is not enough.
I am here for you to talk to if you feel like it. I will support you and understand you all the way!
This is a poem I have written for you! Anyone out there who is feeling depressed, tired, or emotionally exhasuted should read this to possibly give some hope to you. Please read and enjoy!
Hymn for the Fallen:
This is a hymn for everyone, whose love is left unaided.
The love of which you’ve held so close, and know it’s vindicated.
I know why you feel sad, and why you feel so dead inside.
The broken hearts that you’ve endured, the tears you’ve cast aside.
This is a hymn for everyone, who feels like they are worthless.
Like life itself is futile, and not sure why you deserve this.
The feelings of regret and shame; it’s like emotional hell.
You’re breaking down inside again; your hopelessness befell.
This is a hymn for everyone, who stands alone once more.
And hides the tears of misery, for happiness galore.
Resiliency is testing you; it knows you’re on your own.
But know, as time goes on, that you will never be alone.
This is a hymn for everyone, who feels the words I speak.
Both the happy, and the wretched. Both the strong willed, and the weak.
Our hearts will beat as one, until the day we all surrender.
Now close your eyes, and dream afar; we’re all in this together…
I feel like I have a lot of the symptoms that you listed about MDD but I don't know if I have this disorder. It seems like it would make a whole lot of sense to me if this is what I had.
I also seem to have problems with who I am as a person. When somebody is mad at me and shows mwe something I am doing wrong, I tend to agree with them and say, Yes, I am wrong in that way. I sometimes have difficulty with self confidence because I don't feel that I have any reason to be confident.
