I don't think people understand how stressful it is to explain what's going on in your head when you dont even understand it yourself.

I know how you feel.

Everything is so complex when sometimes you don't even know why you feel the way you do. The people around you can't even begin to comprehend how painful it can be, either. It can be incredibly lonely, too.

But the one thing I've learnt through life experiences and counselling is to know that it's not the people around you's fault for their lack of knowing, and neither is it yours.

And if you've got someone to just ramble to, even if it doesn't make sense to you, it helps to just have someone listen.

I hope you feel better soon. xx

No need to thank, bub. I've still got a long road ahead of me, and often times I feel like I trip more times than I walk. But posting on these forums, which have a tremendous amount of support, is a step forward!

If you need someone to talk to, feel free to drop a message.

I completely understand. Everyone that I've talked to (that is not a medical professional) has asked, what happened to trigger this? My answer is always "I have no idea." They always look at me like I'm crazy. I know I'm not though. The human brain is amazing in what it can handle and all that it does. Unfortunately, it doesn't always cooperate the way we want it to! I agree with the previous reply...sometimes it's nice just to talk out loud and ramble without really thinking about what you're saying. Or, doing some free writing in a journal. Grab a piece of paper or open a word document and just write EVERYTHING that comes into your head. You might be surprised what you discover when you let your mind free. Best of luck to you and I hope you feel better soon. This site is a great place for support and love <3

I can totally relate to this, and I was going to tell you to consider writing a journal or simply writing. Since I was diagnosed with MDD, my counselor said I should write down what I am feeling, when I am feeling it, what happened prior to that, what time of the day it was, etc. Then be as descriptive as possible. You don't have to show anyone, it can be your thoughts written down and perhaps you can piece it together. I started a google doc titled "My Depression" and when I have some crazy thoughts or feelings, I write them down. When I have great days, I write those days down too so that I can see the progress. I hope you get well soon.

Your a strong person💜Wish I was as strong as you😔But thanks I hope I get Well too.

You are as strong as me. The fact that you joined this community and then took the next step to actually post something and reach out to us is a sign of strength not weakness. You're on the right track. Some of us are a bit farther than others but believe me, we were all at very dark and hard places in the beginning. The first month I could not write anything. I could not bring myself to write because it was too exhausting to think about. Now I can, and its therapeutic. You will get well. Just keep getting up every day and instead of focus on what you can't do, be happy about the things you can. For me, brushing my teeth was a victory, or making a cup of coffee. If you see that as progress it can help a lot. I'm rooting for you.
