I can't handle the pain of my depression and anxiety anymore.
I don't know how to speak to people or even how to communicate what I'm going through; all I know is that I can't take it anymore. I wonder why I stick around in life, instead of ending it.
I am beyond embarrassed by the person I am, the failure I am, and how broken my mind is. Being so afraid of being judged has kept me completely isolated.

You won't be judged here. Instead you may find that quite a few people will relate to you and then you get a sense that you aren't alone in this.
If you want to, let's talk about it because I was also at a point a couple of months ago when I felt like what's the point in life anymore and the issue I was facing seemed so big at the time that I felt very overwhelmed and went into a spiral of decline. However I found a way out of it and there's still room to improve but life is better so I am more than happy to share with you my journey and give any potential advice that you could take on if you are comfortable talking.
Thank you so much for offering to give me some advice, I would really appreciate it. I do want to get better and find a way through where I am at, yet so often I doubt myself, I doubt my feelings and can't help but think am I being dramatic, am I making it seem worse than it is? I tend to dismiss my own feelings, but then at night when I sit up crying and have no clue why, I realise maybe there is something in my subconscious that is making me feel this way. I would love to chat and for you to share how you found that little bit of happiness, without feeling that I am burdening you. I hate to be a burden.
No don't you worry, you are not a burden on me for wanting to chat. I am more than happy to have a fruitful discussion with you and hopefully we can come up with something that will help you.
I will message you directly on your profile and I'll start by answering the question you mentioned and talk about what you've mentioned and we can go from there.
no judgement here. I have felt this way for years. this is a good place to meet people who understand. keep posting and someone is always here to talk to you.
No. JudgementOur mental struggles are so complex and personal that it's dang near impossible to explain it to others. Even professionals in the field can't truly grasp our struggles.
It's a lonely journey in that sense. But most if us here do understand despair and hopelessness in all its forms.
It truly is impossible to explain it. I have spoken to a professional before, but it didn't help. You are so right, she couldn't truly grasp where I was at.
Hi there! Everything will be ok!! I’m new here!I’m suffering very bad right now and I know how much it hurts right now but hang on!! I have manic depression and it hits me like a bolt of lightning and I go from up to down in a course of a day a it lasts for weeks and weeks when this comes on !
All I can say, is, you’re not alone! I am new here on this forum and I signed up so I can get help and encouragement from others but also when I’m feeling OK enough that I can give somebody else encouragement! Everything will be OK! Take it one minute at a time and get through the day because tomorrow is a brand new day! And just keep telling yourself “NO” I am going to make it! There’s better days ahead for us! And remember to try to stop the “Thinking” and do slow breathing exercises !!! Hugs!
I check back on here when I am awake to either post or read I am going to try to get back to sleep but I’m on here during this day and I’m so glad that I have found this forum! Remember to try to “Stop” your negative thoughts and feelings and just say to yourself “NO” to the negative thoughts!! Everything will be okay. Check out my posts! I’m a mess also ! We just need to be here for each other! Remember you’re not alone in this battle! Hugs -Shay
I'm really sorry that you are suffering so badly right now. I understand the feeling of it hitting you like a bolt of lightning, with no warning!
That truly is such a noble thing, I realised everyone on this platform may be going through something, but showing care and helping others may actually end up helping yourself. Everything indeed will be okay! "I will make it" will become my new mantra.
I will definitely check out your posts, and if I feel I can offer some help to you too, I most definitely will share it, thank you so much for your kindness and for showing compassion and support to strangers.
You have come to the right community. We are a caring bunch of folk who all have our own past problems. Some of us are still working through them, and others are further on in their journey,
We often stay to help others once our own immediate problems are eased. Be welcome.
You are so right, I may be feeling bad myself, but I do know there may be people on this platform that feel worse than I, that I could possibly also help. Which I would love to do, its important to pass it on.
Oh my...where to start on this one....1st and foremost....you are not a failure....the only way you will ever "fail" is if you completely quit trying...Communication is very important...I also struggle with expressing my feelings....luckily for me...my close circle can tell when I'm struggling and will talk with me. as to why you are here....that's easy....you are still here because you haven't given up hope..and even though the situation right now seems ""hopeless" you keep fighting......believe me when I say the fight is always worth it...and last but not least....just do the best you can....as long as you can honestly tell yourself that you are doing the best that you can.....tomorrow is another day to try again on the old stuff or try something different....just don't ever quit trying
