Depression

How do yall stay strong😔I’m slowly giving up

What’s going on? 🙁

I’m sorry you’re feeling down. I know it’s hard to stay strong when you are depressed. You get into habits and you feel like you’re spiraling downwards. I think the best way to stay strong is positive self talk in my opinion and from my own experience with depression. It’s not easy, but i sorta forced myself to say I’m worthy of good things happening to me, I repeat it to myself so that I don’t let people constantly mistreat me or even mistreat myself. It forces me to take care of myself better and not neglect things that are important to me.

Where do I even begin 😭 I’ve been raped I’ve been lied to I’ve been used I feel so unhappy my parents tell me I’m a disappointment everyday idk how much more I can take😔

Oh jeez.. no wonder you feel this way! I’m so sorry you had to go through that and maybe still are going through that. You have been traumatized and put down by people who are meant to protect you and that’s not easy to deal with. Have you considered therapy for that incident? And are your parents always like that?

I want do therapy but I don’t want tell my parents bc all they do is put me down and make me feel like a disappointment and my father is in prison I feel like I have no one on my side idk how to feel normal how he happy how to just be okay I feel terrified of leaving my house and I get panic attacks thinking about that man forcing himself on me I really just don’t know what to do I’m trying to stay strong bu giving up seems so much easier 😞

If you’re younger than 18, you can go to your school counselor. They give you resources there! And some states don’t require your parents permission.

It’s must be very disturbing for you to think about that, and the reason I encourage therapy is because it can cause post traumatic stress where you get these flashbacks 😞

I’m sorry about your dad being in prison, sounds like a very tough situation. But please do not give up. You’re young, and you have your whole life ahead of you. You can change the world with your experiences. This may say far fetched, but it is true. Depression is complex and may take other measures, but a good place to start it realizing you never deserved to be treated that way. None of those things were your fault and you couldn’t have prevented those things from occurring. When you have these panic attacks, deep breathes. You’re going to be okay, you’re not alone.

Hello, I feel for you, I am a rape victim. It was not easy, I reported it to the police and they caught the man (an off duty police man). Was not much help back then it was 49 years ago. Now there is help, look in your phone book there should be a listing for Rape Counseling Services or Rape Crisis Center, they are free, in my 40's I took the 40 hr, training class and became a rape counselor. You need help and support. Do not tell your parents as they are negative and you need love, understanding and support. You have a strong core and it will be there for you, you are stronger than you think at this time, with help you will get yourself back. I got over it and left it behind me in the past where it belonged. If I can be of any further help wite me. I send you love, courage,strength, peace and big hugs......Sprinkle 1.....xxx ooo

Well the thing is I’m a minor so if I report it my parents will know and they don’t let me leave home to begin with so I couldn’t call or go to any counseling without them knowing I feel trapped and very alone my mental Heath is very bad i have very bad panic attacks at night I keep replaying the man forcing his self on me and it makes me feel so depress and I helpless I don’t know what to do to stop feeling this way😭

When I was a counselor we talked on the phone with the victim, it was private and secure, you do not have to leave home. You need help, call when your mother is out of the house, I do not understand how your father could be so cruel when he is in prison, what type of person is he? You have to stand up for yourself, I know you can do it, you should have been examined for disease and injury, hopefully you are not pregnant. Where was your mother when this man forced himself on you? You were home alone? No wonder you have panic attacks, I hate those they are awful. Call the Service they can help you. Please do not suffer alone, it will only get worse. I will help you all I can. Please find that No. and Call. Sending courage, strength, love & Big hugs.....See if there is an email listed, you apparently can use your computer, you could chat that way......

I will try to talk to a counselor online and see if it helps I’ve had very hard couple of months

Hello

How are you doing today? I hope you feel better today even a tiny bit. I feel the same. I can feel your desperation. Are you on medication?
