I've had bouts of major depression since I was a teenager, so I have that much in common with you.

Hey amandagray, I wish so much I had the words for you to make your depression go away. All I can say is I had major depression for six years, I reached out to friends and family but no one truly understood and helped. In a way I'm glad they didn't because I don't wish it on my worst enemy, it was truly terrible. But I want to tell you that it's possible to feel true happiness again and I never ever believed I'd be the same again , I don't know how but some way I did , truly wish I could give you more answers but what I can give you is hope, and hope is so important to you right now . Just know there are people that truly understand how awful and debilitating it is . You're not alone and keep in mind there are people that dont understand even though they love you, and that's great that they do . Just wanted to give you some hope and know there are people out there that truly understand depression because we've been there . I'll say a prayer for you tonight ❤️X

Hello, I also was in hospital last year with severe anxiety and depression. It is a great help talking to people here and knowing you are not alone.

You might want to check out a website called DBSA (depression Bipolar support alliance) They have online meetings, and free and if you are lucky they have meetings in your town in person once a week. You can go to as many meetings as you wish. You can talk to people who are experiencing or have experienced the same issues. I wish you luck.

I'm sorry that you are suffering. I hope that you do find healing and also hope. I haven't been hospitalized, but I have made several trips to the ER for similar circumstances. It always helps me to hear that I'm not alone and others have found healing. I hope that you can connect with great support on your journey to healing!
