Confession of Depression

[KinokoNekoKun]

So, I am slowly starting to enjoy life a little more. It gets very hard sometimes but, thankfully with this site, I am able to over come. Lately, whenever I am feeling down or sad, all I have to do is log in and I feel complete again. Reading positive posts or giving feed back to others is giving me a reason to live. Before, I would get told about how happy and positive I am but really inside I was hurting , self mutilating, and would fake a smile every day. Right now, I can say , since joining , every smile I have now is a real and genuine smile. I hope that I can continue to stay in practice with logging on every chance I get, so I can continue this growth. I notice, when I have not gotten online, I revert back to my old thinking of not being positive depending on the situation. But, I also need to learn that when I am not able to get on here for reassurance, to learn to keep that same mentality all day long. NO matter what.

This site to me is like a security blanket. I see the positive replies on here and think of it as family. We all have your back. I know you will have mine.

Hey friend you are just speaking my mind. I remember there was a time where I thought to myself let me just stay away a bit but I could feel enxiety. For some of us, I think just reading posts, giving support is just something I need. I don't necessarily want to be here on a daily basis but I just miss to open this site and see how peopke are doing. In fact sometimes we just become personal with certain individual and you my friend know that very well, it addictive to just check and see what the other person is saying. So, yah I jive with what you saying.

[KinokoNekoKun in reply to Hidden]

You are honestly one of the best <3 A main reason for me checking my messages daily haha

I discovered this site not long ago. Very helpful, positive, supportive....It’s like group therapy (which I have never done before) but that’s how I imagine it anxiety, depression and menopause - recent separation - taking a toll on me. But feeling stronger with meds, therapy and finding my bearings... slowly..... good to be on here and able to let it out and help others...

Xo, stay positive everyone. The sun is out and vaccine is happening. Life will be ok again soon. ❤️☀️
