As of lately, i've been feeling extremely depressed and I never wanted to come back to this state because a few years back, I was suicidal. I'm not to that point yet, but the depression is killing me. I can't sleep, I hardly eat. There are a few things that trigger this... I've been thinking of seeing some kind of therapist because as the depression goes stronger, my will to even get out of bed decreases. All my life, i've been depressed. But there have been some good years, and bad years. These past 2 have been pure hell... I have a friend I can turn to, but at the same time, he's never online when I truly need him. I don't know what to do...

AmandaK,  Welcome to Psych Central!You have come to a great place if you need to talk, and there is lots to read here too that will help. Are you taking any meds? Maybe you could think about getting some counselling or therapy. Take care.

Welcome Amanda. Pull up a chair, put your feet up, and mosey around the site.
The social forum is always a good place to go for a distraction, and the chat room is available 24/7. There's even a support chat section so people are aware you need to talk ASAP and not just hanging out waiting to enjoy some social chat.

(((((Amanda)))))
I'm sorry that you're feeling so awful. Depression really knows how to bring us down, unfortunately. Try doing little things at a time to get yourself motivated. I know some days it seems like the last thing I want to do is crawl out of bed...and the hardest. Everything else is off limits and the only thing I seem to focus on is getting out of bed. Hang in there.
