You've done incredibly well to do all that without support. Be proud of yourself. Feel free to lean on anonymous strangers now. I'm finding it so helpful. Supportive people I don't have to worry about burdening or disappointing.

I'm sure many of us here can relate to how you feel, and somehow it is easier/safer to talk with people on here rather than people in our real life, without worrying they would betray us and tell others esp when we have trust issues to people around us.

Life is long, everyone would somehow lose themselves at some point in their lives, get confused, we have to find the courage to establish our goals again, to make our own paths, go through it with bravery. We are all struggling here, but we can support and comfort each other when you need help, hang in there, you are not alone!!

Hello Dear Newhope,
You are very brave and you should really feel proud of yourself. At many stages of our lives, most of get lost and then feel lonely and depressed, but finding oneself again is as easy as getting lost
Depression is all about our perceptions and if we change our perceptions we are not away from happiness.You can feel free to share anything here, we all are here standing with each other, after all it is the most prominent feature of humanity. loving blessings on your way.
Best regards

Dearest Newhope,

I to have trouble trusting people with information about my childhood, it is like it is to precious to let just anyone handle the pain that it has left in your heart. Depression is one of those things that just drains the life out of you. You think you are living everyday to the fullest then all of a sudden you look back and realize that you have spent the last month doing nothing but feeling miserable, and you don't know what to do to change it. It just comes on so slowely and yet so quickly. I hope that I am not putting words in your mouth that arn't true, I just know what I have experienced and I know how much depression can take over your life and make you feel like you are walking around in a bubble. But know that I am here for you when ever you need to chat.
Take care hun,
Melstar

i have seen a few docs on and off thru my life but none of them have said much about why im depressed just that you depressed and need meds i have never been able to stick with it for any long period of time because of financial reasons but even so i felt like i needed to talk about my childhood and never did maybe it was because i was to afraid not sure it was always about my life at the time do we need to comfront our childhood at some time to start recovery i really am tired of ignoring the truth even if i find out the truth about what i dont want to know thank you all for your response and caring words

[newhope]

your right melstar i have been depressed for so long there has been a few times i wanted to really stop it but its either to hard or i just dont want to because im afraid of what i will find here it goes in words that i will discover i dont love my husband anymore and that my children are growing up and no one will love me.and thank you thats the first time i ever said that to someone else.
