As seems to be consistent with my general pattern, I'm falling again into a hole...sinking...feeling more depressed by the second...

I miss the support group I used to have on the other site. It hurts still that they all turned on me. I feel like no one thinks I'm worthwhile. No one cares. Just...low... And this place seems so huge. I don't hardly know anyone and I don't even know where to post or what to say half the time. I'm not ok and I don't know what to do.

Awww hun. I'm so sorry you're sinking. It's an all too familiar feeling. Please keep posting, the depression forum is full of supportive folk, i'm sure you'll make good friends once they get to know you. Please be kind to yourself during this difficult time, go for coffee, watch feel-good movies, listen to good music, and treat yourself to something nice. Let me know how you are doing please...XOXO

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm doing a tad better at the moment. I discovered the support chat and found a few friends. I don't even really know what triggered this...probably nothing. My mood just drops out from under me sometimes...

*hugs*!!!
I so feel you prometheusunbound!!
I keep dropping into that hole, but it's due to what i got my self back into.
A lot of people here are really nice and supportive. And if you post somewhere that a mod would think would get better results in another board, they will move it and let you know, so that they can help you get better results.
This place is pretty big. I go all over the place now. but for quite a few years I only lurked where I posted personally, and then branched out a thread at a time, then to other boards at a time.

If you want to be friends, I'd love to be your friend!

I'm sorry that you're feeling so alone.

I have days where I feel like to too. Moments where I feel like I am completely alone in this world and I just wish for an end. Those moments are later appreciated as being very focused on dark things in my life ~ rather than looking at the whole picture. I therefore try to look at the whole picture more frequently. It doesn't always work...but it usually does.

In those dark moods, I also try to force myself to post something to let people here offer their opinions on their perspective of me. Kind of dangerous, some might say, but members are encouraged not to post insults to others at this site. Kind of a win/win position for me in those times, I think.

Best wishes to you & to Psych Central!

I get those feelings too. Are you sure the other board turned on you? It might just be a misunderstanding. You are more than welcome here though. Dig those nails in and climb out of that hole, I know how much it sucks being there. The days are getting longer so things will get better,that is the way I keep looking at it.

Hi Prometheus. I do this. I try to find an analogy, for me I have begun to view myself
like a ship, one with a weak bottom or hull. Give a rough wave or rock and I
start taking on water like a sponge.
I just try and search myself and see what it is that makes me more thin-skinned
to stimuli and react so badly. Given time I can find out how to shore up these
weak spots and become more stable and resilient.

Just a thought based on the way my program is going.

Depression is a *****, you have to remember that no matter what, it wants you to fail. It will turn your friends and family against you - so your depression wants you to think. Every one is not the same and they have their own opinions. Do not let depression turn these opinions agaist you. If you are sinking, look up not down. If you look down depression will pull harder - If you look up you will fight your depression harder. Very sorry you are feeling so badly, keep posting and may you have a better tomorrow.
