Severe Depression

I am new here and very depressed, I cant seem to find my way back to places I go here. How does this all work? I need to send 5 post so I can communicate with others. Help!

HI Down,

I am new here, too. Please stick around so that you can get acquanted with this place. I know I am.
Here is wishing you a better day tomorrow. Have faith and hang in there...and by all means, keep expressing your feelings; it helps.

Downinthedumps, I struggle with severe depression too...I hope you get your 5 posts in soon. Reply to this one and you will be that much closer to 5. Hang in there....

Downinthedumps..........i have dysthymic depression and it is exhausting. good mood one and down the next but i always come here to post my feelings. anytime night or day just post and i guarantee someone will be here to support you. ..puckyjan56.........

When in an episode. I elaborate thought all day, and I think I will post them here at night, when I get a little better. SO now you know, you have somebody who KNOWS how it feels to talk to.

Posting here can be a good way to start talking about your feelings and getting support. But also remember that depression is a treatable illness. Can you / have you talked to a Dr. about treatment options. I'm on meds and in therapy and they've both made a huge difference in my life.

Good luck.

HI,
I'm experiencing a relapse of depression. I have had severe depression in the past but am on medication. It's good to post and state your feelings. It helps. So far, I have met some very nice people on this site.

Welcome to the group, post as often as you need to and people will try to help.. I suffer from depression as well, and one thing they tell us to do in group is to let it out by writting it down, so posting here is a great way to get it out. So take care we are here for you, you are a very special person.

Hi Downinthedumps
I'm kebsfroggy, a frog of little brain. Believe me the stories I could tell.
Because I keep forgetting where I post I limit my posts to depression and games. Even then finding a post or reply can be difficult.

To send posts to others here go to your profile (see it at the top of the screen) then (now I have to remember). Select to send a pm, type in the name of the person and the subject line. Then type your pm.

Whatever you do, don't forget the person or after typing this nice message when you hit enter everything disappears. you are left with nothing but frustration and a blank screen.

There is no enjoyment in being depressed. The gang here is ready to listen and offer support.

My hope for you is that your depression lessens quickly.
