i just took the self test on depression and scored 80%
48 points out of a total 60! i had no idea i was that depressed! maybe i realy should go to the doctor, inbetween me cutting and trying to kill myself, and my sex addiction, and now depression idk what else to do anymore, i feel like im a walking hopelessness, and besides the fact that nobody on here has answerd me back but one and she told me that i need to go out and help other people,,, wtf?! im sitting here begging for help from you people to see weather anyone else feels this way and im the one who needs to go out and help people..
idk but someone on here better fill me in on some good advice, or atleast pretend like they have "been there" like me.. please help!!
Oh my gosh Shavonn, I am so sorry that you didn't get the support you deserved. I am not on here a whole lot and I am really new too, but I am sorry you are left feeling like no one is hearing you. That's really a sucky feeling.
Depression... Yep, I surely have it!! I think too, that alot of people are depressed and might not feel up to posting. I find myself thinking, "well I'm really nobody so I would probably sound stupid if I replied" I used to think that about me!!
Depression is a tricky bugger and it's no joke!! I've been in a hideously abusive marriage for at least 10 years and just recently my two youngest boys and I fled our home and are just now finally getting back on our feet, abuse free. I am still struggling with depression and it's not fun.
I really think you should see a doctor. A doctor will have some tests for you to take as well and then they can know what they need to do for you. I am taking cymbalta and have already noticed a difference. Please make an appointment with your doctor. I've felt that walking hopelessness feeling for a long time and actually felt that way a week ago again. It's something a doctor needs to treat and luckily there are alot of choices in meds when it comes to depression.
I'm sorry to babble. I would just LOVE to see you here in a month or two, feeling better because you got some help!! You deserve to feel better and I am hoping that will come for you soon!!
Nice to meet you and hope to hear from you often because posting here and talking is so theraputic as well. The people here have been amazing. It's comfortable here after a while and it feels like you walk into a nice big room with a fireplace going and really comfy chairs and there's always room for one more person to come on in and hang out and be with people who truly care how you are doing.
I hope you will feel more comfortable soon, keep posting and let the support come pouring into your heart!!
Hang in there, Suzee
thank you!
Hi shavon
I agree with suzee go see your Dr at least then you will know and start from there to get some help. Coming here is as suzee says can be very therapeutic.
as far as depression goes i also believe some form of counseling would be good also to find what may be the cause but am sure your Dr would suggest something like that.
