Is there a thread that's kind of like support for people with depression and such?

[marzipanmermaid]

If not, can we make one? Like, a tiny support group or a safe place to just open up or vent or just whatever? I've been feeling a bit alone, but at the same time I want to reach out to other people who might understand, even though I'm a bit intimidated and awful at talking. It won't be a big pity party (but, if you're having a bad day, don't be afraid to share, ya know?) and it can be as impersonal/personal as each person needs it to be. I guess I'm caught in the stage of just wanting to spill my guts out to anyone who will listen and wanting to shove everything down into the bottom of my stomach, hoping it'll just go away again.

I have depression and anxiety; I've bounced around from a counselor or two and they think I have a tiny case of PTSD, but I'm not really sure. Things I've repressed are back and I'm not coping too well. I have a lot of obsessive and/or intrusive thoughts about things; it sounds like OCD, but I don't have rituals?[SUB] I have a knack for constantly doing things like writing or drawing the same thing over and over until it's perfect though, but I don't think it counts. [/SUB]A lot of the thoughts/doubts/fears/questions are relating to my past. I have a history of self-harm and disordered eating. I was on Zoloft for a bit. I know some of you lovely people commented on my thread about that and the doctor's visit. I've been off it for a couple weeks, though I popped a couple of 'em here and there to get me through the night.

This is an amazing idea. I definitely think we should do this. We can all share our experiences to help people realise they're not alone. Also we can give each other advice on to help each other out too.
I don't understand why no omegas replied on this yet.

Thank you! I was starting to feel a bit silly when no one commented. I thought it was a nice enough idea and when I posted about my depression/doctor's visits, I had several people comment or reach out so I know there's a bunch of us kind of in the same boat. I think it would be good for us, maybe, hopefully. <3

Also, loving the "oh hai mark."

Haha thank you. I've been a fan of the room for a few years now. It's sad to say I was excited when I got a signed copy of the DVD. XD

I swear man I didn't do any- Oh hai Mark


It's not really a thread, but if anyone is in need of someone to talk to, or a friend, they can always PM me and tell me their problems. I'd be glad to help. And I try to help them as much as I can. This would be a great idea, and I'd like to help out.

It has seen happier times, which is a bit sad to say.

Temporarily, I'm sure.

Temporarily, I'm sure.

What are you talking about, TBT can be a great place! I've made so many friends here, and so many people have been nice to me. You shouldn't be so negative! ( ^ω^ ) cheer up~
Yeah so considering I'm posting here, i do have slight depression. I take around 3-4 types of medication for it, but it doesn't seem to help as much. I just try to stay really positive around people and avoid people who are really negative and like to gossip. The main reason i have it, is because when my dad was in the military he developed depression. This was right before i was born, and doctors believe it's probably genetic, considering my mom had severe anxiety.
Depression sucks, but i just try to stay happy for as long as i can, even if people find my positive attitude annoying. ( ；?Д｀)

Your injection of positivity is appreciated.

I hope it happens. I guess we could just make one ourselves if it doesn't. I mean, we have threads about sex talk and all sorts of other more serious topics. Why not a mini support group for mental disorders?

Are you? It'll be okay, sweet pea. I need to go see a therapist. My counselor was my Women's Pysch teacher who counsels with/aids CASA on the side outside of teaching and I felt so comfortable with that. I'm a bit nervous to talk to someone that isn't her. I'm proud of you...

 

[Capella]

I talked to someone that sits next to me and it felt really good so I wanted to go
Just stay strong kay?
