News of Clinical Depression Forum

Hello everyone,

I'm writing here because I've been struggling to read for a while now. Difficulty concentrating on the stories I read, on the sentences but most of all, it seems that I don't actually feel that much when I read the written words, which makes me sad. I've had depressive episodes since 16-17 years old (now 31) and nowadays I can have periods of time when I'm really anxious and/or depressed (the anxiety being ...

had a nervous breakdown in 2013. n now i'm far worse that what i was or where i was.

when i look back at how this happened, i can trace back the steps. but i still cant believe all this HAS happened. :(
just waiting for this life to end. the sooner the better.

Yeah I am 26 and in a very bad condition. I don't know I don't take food so much or even necessary nowadays. I am angry at my mother, brother and friends and everyone around me.. I thought they were the reason for my failure in life.. that made me feel worse ... I blame everything on them like it was all due to them I was failed in life.. I smoked because of bullying, ...

or is it just me...

So clinical depression, if I understand it, comes on without any reason. Right? So if I am unemployed for 3 years and have a 3-year-old and no money, that is normal depression? I mean, you would have to be a zombie NOT TO be depressed.

I'm struggling with depression at the moment. Life has been slamming me harder than usual. I don't know where to begin to explain everything so I won't. My life is complex and complicated with a lot of past traumas and abuse. My problem is that nothing seems to help and I have tried a LOT of things. I'm educated, self-aware, and emotionally intelligent, I read self-help books and I practice things. I've done a lot ...

It sucked the first time, especially the disillusionment since the stupid ...

Hi everyone. I've been struggling with depressing for as long as I can remember. I have Clinical Depression, GAD, autism & Complex ptsd. I feel so hopeless. I'm struggling to get up out of bed each day. I just stare at the ceiling or scroll on my phone. My house is a mess. My life is a mess. I don't have the energy to cook most days so I eat like crap & even just ...

I am a shell of what I used to be. How does one keep going? I have people to live for but I can’t seem to climb out of this black hole that has become my life.

The TL;DR is that I apparently don't have a sense-of-reality edge over the Pollyannas out there, and yes, it rather irritates me. I've been a ######6 Eeyore for nothing?

So much for my self-consolation that at least I have a better grasp on reality over those folks that don't get depression and anxiety. Apparently I'll have to try harder with the medicine I dole out in ...
