Looking for support
Hi catsandcoffee. There are lots of kind and empathetic people on here, I have found. I hope you find the care and support you need - here and in your "real" life, too. Yes, I agree depression can be exhausting - we all need support.
(I like your username. :))
Thanks for reaching out.
I've been depressed before. Are weekends harder for you? I know they used to be tough for me sometimes.
Most times weekends are easier just because I don’t have to go out and be around people. Sunday nights tend to be the hardest for me though..just knowing i have to do it all over again is so hard.
I hear you...
Plus my husband struggles with depression as well and we are having a hard time supporting each other this weekend...i feel so alone..
I'm so sorry. I am currently single so I can't speak to being in a relationship like that, but I've had close friends and family go through depression. We usually needed space and time and to seek others for support. It seems like you are seeking support.
Yeah, I agree. It’s just hard because he’s been my best friend for 6 years so he’s always been my support. Now that we’re married I feel like I need outside support as well. I’m trying..it feels safer and more comfortable alone and in my sadness but I know that isn’t helpful.
That has to be so hard, yeah. And I think I know what you mean about feeling safe in your sadness - I remember feeling that way. Good way to put it. But you're right, reaching out is more helpful. I'm glad you found this group.
We understand I promise you. And you will get some support here.
Hi and welcome..I understand..
Thank you. Honestly..that’s what i needed to hear today❤️
Hi, I've only been on here about a week myself. From what I've seen, there are some very kind, caring, thoughtful & non judgmental folks on here. There has been 2 post so far that really resonated with me & changed my outlook for that day ! Welcome
Hi catsandcoffee. I hear you about Sunday night that's when the fear and anxiety start to creep in. Find a good, positive mantra to repeat often. "I am good and whole. All will be well" Find some past positive experience and focus on that when the depression comes. Hang in there. All will be well.
Depression can be exhausting. I commend you for being brave and sharing your feelings. You are heard and never alone.
