Alright, just a question. This is a phych site, for those of us with less than adequate mental state, self esteem, exc. exc. However, I still feel kinda trapped. This is probably cuz I'm relatively new, but I don't know how or where to find a place where I can find a shoulder to lean on. Not trying to complain, just asking for advice. Especially as of late, I've been a LOT more depressed than usual, and I've been thinking about "The 'S' word" a lot, because honestly, there's nothing else I'd love to do. But I know that's not a good subject here so just any support would suffice.
Also, I guess it just has to be said for my own sake, but I'm sorry for adding to the TONS of distressed people you guys probably have to deal with. Just wanted to say this so I feel less like a burdensome scum, like I do everywhere else. Thanks, love you guys.

 natani girl Sorry that you're feeling so low. I've been real low a few times, myself. I can relate to feeling that you need more of something, because what you're getting right now just isn't enough to fill that void inside of yourself. Have you tried contacting 1-800-SUICIDE to talk? Are you seeing a therapist or taking any medications? Those are options available to everyone. Although we may feel as though no one understands or cares about us, many people spend their lives waiting to help everyone who just needs a sympathetic ear. Or feedback. Or medication/s, sympathetic ear, and some feedback. Gentle hugs sent your way.

Hi Natani_girl Welcome if I already haven't told you that. This is a place for people having a hard time coping with things in their minds, Don't ever think yours is less than adequate I am sure you are very intelligent! Just going though a rough time right now. You can lean on mine any time. We all need a shoulder to lean on now and again. I am on here a lot so anytime! I hate it when I get to feeling that sad and it does happen! Sending good vibes your way!

Is there something to do for yourself to find the light, to find the way? I don't know what is your life now and what you think it should be. Or how long you felt trapped.
I am an alternative chick here.... so I am gonna add to what others said... look for good omens. It is equally important as your biochemistry and whatnot.

 It really feels great to hear that someone can relate.  I'm not currently on medications of any kind, and I see the school psychologist once a week, though I cant talk to her about these things, because she would be required to take action. Just knowing that kinda makes me nervous. I may try the suicide hotline if I ever feel that close again, even though I don't know much about how that works. :/It is great to know there are people out there that want to help me.  Thanks for making me feel like I'm not alone!

Thank you so much! It's good to not just feel like another one of the 7 billion the world has to support. And I have been feeling very down lately. I can always count on PC!

 I've felt trapped for a while, but just recently everything really started majorly crashing down. Definitely trying to find that light. I don't exactly know how to look for "good omens", but I'll certainly try. Thank you sooooo much for your advice!

I have also had severe depression. Three things that I have found help from are: meds, therapy and 12 step groups such as ACOA (http://www.adultchildren.org/) I waited a looooong time to try meds. Then it took a few months to find the right one, then it took a few months to finally kick in. But it has really helped with the darkest thoughts. Sending safe hugs and supportive thoughts your way.

Idk how i would get meds, or if i should even take them, but I'm looking for a therapist. I will also look into 12 step groups, b/c I have never heared of that before.Thank you for your support. The help I'm getting from friends on PC is doing soooo much already!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
