My life is difficult here lately. I was on another depression site and there was so much drama. I left more upset than I did anything. I wish there was a place for me to rate it or something because if I could rate it by giving it 1-5 stars I'd give it none. There is so much drama.
I posted something about how I was feeling and how down I was and how sometimes my family drove me crazy. Instead of being encouraging I got a bunch of rude comments. I was told I was a liar, manipulative, selfish and anything else. So I preceeded to tell all of them goodbye because I was leaving the site and everyone told me that I was basically being selfish. Maybe I am but I come here and I do feel better after posting. But when I went there I felt like crap. The people there are rude and inconsiderate. They would respond rudely or half answer a question I asked or half read what I posted. I stated in one of my posts that I was leaving and then I was informed that I had an attitude. I suffer from depression. I thought they would understand and be supportive but instead I got called names. I'm sad because my self esteem was bashed to the ground. I'm sad because the site is suppose to be helpful and instead its not. There is so much drama there. I just wanted to post and some what vent.

Keep in mind that you are Dep. you will take in everything like it is alot worst then it is. You need to find other outlets talking to people face to face is much better then posting your feeling . I go to a place called the walkin center for people with mental illness mostly depression and bipolar .Its where everyone seems to be having a hard time and we all need to talk .All i can say is that I get so much out of it .I know my wife and family just cant understand so its just great to have other people I can talk to who do .

Well you did the right thing - no need to stick around where you're not being helped. Hope PC is better for you. Stay here for a while, and we'll see if we can't do a bit of a better job. =)

Well there is no place for me to go here as far as counseling. . Everyone charges way to much and I can't afford it. Thats why I'm here. Yes, I know I'm depressed thats why I'm here. I can't afford a counselor. Thanks for the advise to talk to someone face to face but as I said I can't afford a counselor.

Hello Maymie. There are many options for mental health treatment. If you are in the United States, there should be some county mental health treatment that is based on your income. I hope things get better for you soon. PM anytime. Take care. Soidhonia
