Today I came across DF after spending the majority of the afternoon looking up suicide methods, I can't believe I have considered ending my life, over what must seem to everyone like pathetic worries. I couldn't face going to work today, so I didn't go in. I was intially reluctant to join a forum like this because i don't use forums in general and I thought it would make me feel worse reading other peoples problems. But it hasn't made me feel worse, and I don't feel completely on my own now. I cant talk to people I know about what I am going through, I'm hoping I can start to get my life back together. There's such a friendly feel to this site, I'll check in as often as I can.

Nurturing As we plant the seeds for a flower bed, we must nurture those seeds by watering and weeding so that the flowers may become beautiful and strong. Without the nurturing they may whither away.
As we plant the seeds for our gardens to grow our foods, we must nurture those seeds with watering and weeding so that the garden may give plenty of the food we need. Without the nurturing we may go hungry.
As humans we have seeds planted within our hearts, souls and minds, those seeds must also be nurtured with tender love and care so that we may feel, see and think better. Like weeding the flowers and gardens we must also weed out the bad thoughts and feelings that we suffer with any type of illnesses. Give yourself some nurturing and let others support that nurturing in weeding out the bad seeds and replacing them with seeds of love and peace of mind, we all have right and the ability to see that the world is a beautiful sight just as the beauty within ourselves. By nurturing, we won't go hungry and whither away with our illnesses.

QUOTE (agentorangecrush @ Sep 23 2009, 12:42 AM)  I came here after seeking to find a way to vent about some problems I've been having for the past few months. I guess very few people actually care to listen to me (but I might just be paranoid about that last part). Plus I've been very confused and just been having a feeling of helplessness these past few weeks. I hope it's not getting worse. hi agentorangecrush and welcome to df,
you can certainly share how you are feeling and there are many people here who will understand and most of listen. hopefully you can get some things out and let those feelings of helplessness go.

I googled for depression forums and liked the look of this one the most.
I'm sick of being alone, I'm sick of spending the evenings and nights crying with no-one to talk to. I know it's an incredibly selfish reason for coming to a forum but I needed something. I used to work at a teen forum as a moderator for some time, helping people between 13 and 20 mainly with THEIR problems, but that's no place for me anymore, being 28. So I was looking for somewhere that might offer me the same; somewhere that maybe *I* could find some support, and maybe stop being so alone, even if it is only over the internet.
--------------------
Alfred Pennyworth, Batman Begins:
"Why do we fall, sir? So that we might learn to pick ourselves up."
Batman, Arkham Asylum, a Serious House on a Serious Earth:
"I'm afraid that the Joker may be right about me. Sometimes I question the rationality of my actions and I'm afraid that when I walk through those asylum gates... when I walk into Arkham and the doors close behind me... it'll be like coming home."
Cpt. Ahab, Moby D1ck:
"He piled upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart's shell upon it."
Rocky Balboa, Rocky Balboa:
"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward."

Hi Mephistopheles, It's not selfish at all coming to a forum like this when you are in need of support. Just think of how you moderated the other forum, I'm sure that you didn't feel that it was selfish for those members to come to the forum was being selfish. You need support and that's ok.

yeah I was googling depression help and forums, came across this one. Seems like the members are interested in helping people and that's really good. I came to try to help and maybe even get some help too. I'm excited to start posting.

It's always good to know and find a place out side of our lives that we can discuss how we feel and to where others will understand and support what we go through with mental illnesses.

I found DF b/c I knew there had to be something online to help me with my depression. I had gotten to a place of really needing help in addition to what my psychiatrist and psychologist do for/with me.
I am glad I found DF. It is a great site and very helpful. Genuine people.

QUOTE (Jett75 @ Apr 15 2009, 05:14 AM) I found this site because lately (and sporadically throughout my life) I've been having moments where I feel like I'm just one negative experience away falling down into one of my dark moods. The slightest thing can trigger it and it doesn't always have to be the same thing. Sometimes it's work, sometimes it's my family or it could be a random event that has annoyed me that I feel unable to cope with. When it happens though it's as if my world is about to cave in. It's silly really because to alot of people whatever has happened is easy for them to just shrug off and get on with it but sometimes I just can't do it and it stays on my mind for days or even weeks after, bringing back the same feeling of hopelessness. The reasoning behind why I feel like this alot can probably be pointed towards my childhood as I was bullied and made to feel worthless for the first 7 years of my school life and it's never been dealt with. I'm 33 now by the way. As a result I'm a nervous and edgy adult with constant mood swings and other issues that have been picked up along the way. When my mood goes dark my mind and body pretty much shuts down, as it used to when I was being bullied, and my whole self simply refuses to fight back as used to happen at school. I never stood up to my bullies or fought back and I've been the same ever since in any situation. It's easier for me to give up and let someone else go in front than to fight my own corner. In my mid 20s I got into a relationship with a woman I'd known since my late teens and it was the worst thing I could've possibly done. She was a complete uncompromising control freak and I've never had such vicious arguments in a relationship ever before. She tried to change everything she could about me. My diet, my dress sense, my hobbies, the way I eat and drink and just tried to control my entire life to change me into the person she thought I should be. In the last couple of months or our 7 month stint together I started to think 'If you want to change me that much, why not go out and find someone who likes being your doormat and leave me alone. Why be with me if I need that much improvement.' Our relationship ended on a very explosive note and the experience is still with me in my darkest moments and as with my childhood bullying experience I frequently torture myself during this time and imagine scenarios of me getting my revenge on her and the main bully from school. Clearly this is not healthy. I have few friends which doesn't bother me too much because I do prefer my own company these days but it does make me wonder if it's normal to be this way, especially when I see people at work and talk to folks online who seem to have a huge social circle that I know I would be unable to manage. I'm getting married in a month's time to a wonderful lady and she has suggested that I go on some sort of medication to help me. One of her friends is bipolar and she has been on medication for a few years, as has our next door neighbour since she was burgled a few years ago due to the stress it caused. I really don't want to go on medication as I don't want to become dependant on it and never be able to get of it again. It scares me that it won't work and I'll end up being passed from med to med. I'm really not a fan of any kind of drug and prefer to just try to let my body heal itself wherever possible. My relationship with my fiancee is ok although I do play alot of computer games in my spare time and it's my only escape and the only thing that calms me down. The amount of time I spend online is an issue though and my fiancee has said one or two times that it'll be the end of us. She works alot of hours and is constantly tired, and I'm currently off work with anxiety/stress. I like my job most of the time but I've recently been transferred back to a department that I really can't stand and on my first day back I had a bit of an episode and I left the office, went to my doctor and she signed me off. I'm dreading going back next week and I'm wondering if I should just go back to my doctor and get more time off. If I keep doing that though will I ever go back? If that happens we'll lose our house because my fiancee can't afford the mortgage payments on her own and it'll most likely be the end of us too.  I'll stop typing here as I've gone on far too long and probably bored most of you. Hopefully though some of this might sound familiar to someone and they may know the best way for me to start getting myself out of this mess.

Yeah, we all flirt with the tiniest notion
Of self conclusion in one simplified motion
You see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it
No matter how unbearable this misery gets

i found DF while i was searching for help for myself... about asking for help and how to explain depression to others. i am at a place where i feel as though my life is in danger. i only had to read a couple posts and replies to know that this is a venue i should be taking advantage of. i have been pretty "quiet" since registering...but i am just not ready to talk about what i am going through.

I came across DF when I was looking up things for depression. The first time I saw this forum, I was very reluctant to even join. But again I came across DF and decided to give it a try. I was just a little hesitant because I don't talk about how I feel to anyone in person. However, I reallllly wish I came on here earlier because I've been able to vent and talk to others and relate to them. It's liberating and it feels so good to finally express some of my issues. Everyone has been extremely loving and supportive. :) I came here to get the support and that's what I got.

Hi Trix,
I'm really glad that you are now able to open up and feel comfortable here at DF. Most everybody here can relate in one way or another. I'm glad that you have found it is easier now.

I came here when my life went on a downward spiral and a mountain of bad luck hit me all in a few days. I now find myself friendless and homeless (metaphorically speaking) and would like to feel wanted again.

I'm really surprised that my earlier searches on google didn't lead me to DF. I've been looking for a forum like this for a while. I'm on here because I need talk to other people suffering from depression like me. I find it difficult to speak to friends and family because I'm not sure they'll be able to handle my feelings or they might feel uncomfortable. I also don't feel close enough to my university friends that I can talk to them, I've recently had some shuffling of my social connections (nice way of saying there's quite a bit of drama with friends living together in university) and so I'm not too comfortable revealing my feeling, I've never really been able to do that all my life.
I figured since I meet new friends online (meetup.com) and date online that I could get some support online as well. Now that I think about maybe I do too many things online, I wouldn't want this habit to stop me from socializing in person and making connections the old fashion way.
