I've just been reading how all these people are depressed and scared of the outcome if they tell other, my name is place I have been through this before and it is scary and you do feel alone, but when we are depressed we don't know but we are not strong enough on our own A couple of days ago my doctor said I am depressed but I don't tablets I can do it on my one BUT I KNOW I CAN'T here how I beat once when I lost my father I fealt like I had know one and no one cared but I was really pushing them all away ? One night i sat at my home sad lonely and unloved. Began to sing country and throught out the started to right a song By the end of the night I had written my first poem I fealt slightest bit better Then every one I had pushed away read what I had written Because during depression your voice is always down My way of beating depression I learnt was by letting others in through my poetry So know you know place has beaten depression once and will again I want lock myself away never be ashamed of depression it is very scary I've had shared many poems with others to help through depression if my story helps I'm pleased. I a poem helps I can do this also. REMEMBER YOU ARE ALONE I know it's long thank you so much for the thread on depression think I needed to tell others also
I've been diagnosed with mixed anxiety and depression, some days are bad some are good. Don't hide it, get help. You'll find what works best, for some it's counselling, for some it's medication. Don't be afraid of trying different things until you find something that helps. You'll have ups and downs and maybe always will but you learn to cope in time.
Casper I couldn't agree more I hope my story and yours helps others out there that see depression as silent illness
All I can say is people talk!! There is nothing wrong with the feelings you're having. I'm going through a really hard time myself, only realized today that I need outside help. It's not the blues it's something much more. I know I'll be okay because I went and said something.
