Will most likely not reply to this one too but I just gotta let it out. Been feeling all the physical symptoms of depression. I am burned out and tired but there's no one to help me through. Been sick for weeks, someone pointed out I've lost some weight. Haven't slept for hours too. None of my usual tricks are working, I can barely do a thing cos it actually hurts. My mother's laughing with a guest in the sitting room, she ignores me when I tell her about the pain. I've been medicated but nothing helps and she can't have me pointing them out to be depressive symptoms. She reacted like I had an STD months ago when I told her. Man, these days are hard. I can't even cry.

So sorry to know what you are dealing. It feels terrible when parents ignore your mental health. Even my parents dont understand my depression all they do is to make me more depressed from time to time by their harsh words. Dont feel alone, I understand it is really difficult to deal with these days. But it will get better soon. You can try writting your thoughts down on a piece of paper. I do that too release my depression. Hope you get better soon.

Thanks so much. Actually feel a lot better after making the post. It really weighs me down, when I have no one to tell, reinforcing the idea am all alone. I am sorry about your parents. Many of our folks are misinformed, believing hash words and criticisms is exactly the driving force we need to get ourselves going. They do not understand depression; we that do find ourselves caught in this fix struggle to comprehend it too. That's one of it's many special tricks and sink holes. Creative writing used to be my forte once upon a time now it pains to express my thoughts. There are webs and chains to that factor, too much of a risk to delve into. Even though I am unable to write, communicating on this platform does help a lot. I very much appreciate your response asha and I do hope we all get to overcome this.

Thank you for sharing and reaching out. I am sorry to hear your parents are not being supportive of you as you are struggling with depression. Have you ever been to a counselor for your depression? Is there a counselor at your school you can talk to? Those who haven't gone through depression don't really understand that depression is a real disease and a chemical imbalance. Glad you feel writing on this forum is helpful. I agree with that as you do have others who understand the struggles with depression. So know you are not alone. Here a few things that help with depression besides medication and counseling which if you can check into those that will help. I found journaling my thoughts, prayer, deep breathing, positive self-talk all help. Keeping control of your thoughts and changing to a positive focus is great techniques on feeling better. I will be praying for you and reach out anytime. We are here for you. Hugs and God Bless

This pandemic is rough on everyone. I get through things by listening to music. Like listening to the song Survivor by Destiny's Child or something like that. Listen to something that inspires you!!!🙂

Hi googoo. The pandemic sure has been a tough time. Music helped me get through the lot of those silent days. I've got a variety playlist of many different artists and genres to blend with my ever changing moods. I don't know about the inspiring part but I can say it helps me feel less isolated. Thanks for reaching out, I will seek out the Survivor song. Trust you have good taste in music, any more songs you could recommend?
