is there anyone i can vent to? | depression | 11h3i5m | 1 | null | true | false | 0.99 | true | I've had a very rough day, myself. I just resigned from my dream job due to alcohol and depression. I'd love to just talk to you or anyone else. | I'm pretty envious that posts like this get a lot of response and advice when other posts where people are expressing hopelessness, depression, frustration, resentment and overall have a terrible life get totally ignored.
I guess people just want to respond to what's easy and thoughtless.
I'm sorry you had a rough day, do you have friends or anyone for that matter to talk to? Because i don't. | Vent away. We all feel like total shit here and can relate. Rough days are the norm for me.

Is this really depression? | depression | 11gzw05 | 1 | null | true | false | 1 | true | Well, I can say for certain that this doesn't match the depressive symptoms that I believe I have. When and how quickly did you go from functional to this? | Talk to a doctor. Seriously! Could be something deeper going on. Hoping the best for u <3 | Many people experience amnesia due to depression. I have too. But it's never been that bad. I have never felt like I'm doing my daily activities for the first time. I lose my memories that are older than a few months, but never on this short a time scale.

That being said we all have insecurities of our own. Even the seemingly “smart, confident women”. The people that are telling you’re smart and have what it takes are the type of people you need to surround yourself with.
Put yourself out there. Go volunteer, sign up for a fun class, do something spontaneous. You are young and this is just the beginning. Unfortunately life can have heart breaks, but that doesn’t mean you need to stop living. Focus on yourself, delete social media, get outdoors, meet people, and focus on what matters to YOU the most. Love will eventually find its way, but you need to love yourself first. | I like myself to know that I don’t deserve to be alive in this torturous life | null | null | null |

I’ve been on and off it many times at various dosages and the benefits never outweighed the side effects

That's not good advice at all. If it was that easy none of us would feel the way we do.
She may be a nice person, but doesn't sound like a very good therapist. I would try to find a new one. | No therapist should be gasping when you tell them about a personal story. Wildly unprofessional. | The only correct thing is asking you questions, everything else you described she is doing is bad. | You need to find a new therapist. She sounds unprofessional. I have run into a few of those that I feel they treat therapy like their own personal entertainment and gasping, acting shocked, ECT would be red flags for me to find a new therapist. Find the right fit you will know when you mesh well with a therapist. | null |

I can't see the future for myself anymore | depression | 11ghlq1 | 1 | null | true | false | 1 | false | hello! \~☕\~
I relate a lot with your thoughts. the last year I have practically 0 true emotional connection with people, the closest that I get was from talk with my mother. Is sad/interesting how this affect my view on things, everything that I did like becomes meaningless if I cannot share with people that I love. And even though I've been through some bad things before, nothing was as painful as this feeling of nothing having a purpose.
Now I only hope to feel this connection again someday, but knowing how the world is random and the mind is complex probably need some time. And every time I try to think about my future I always think and feel that will be worse than I have now, I have thoughts like "your destiny is to have a miserable life, so will get worse and worst " or I make a graph in my had to show how every year in my life was worse than the year before. In the end require a lot of time to get out the traps of the mind.
sorry for the long response, hope that you get better ✨🎉✨ | null | null | null | null |

I’ve never felt so suicidal ever. | depression | 11gdujj | 1 | null | true | true | 1 | false | I'm so sorry. you don't deserve this. you're a great person, surrounded by people who can't see your worth. | hey, as a fellow young person i hate reading how all these terrible things have happened to you. i have so many experiences in my life that keep me busy at night whenever i get the chance to chill and think about stuff, all so painful memories or things that happened that i just wish they all didn't happen, why me? is what i always think, whyy me? but why anyone? i dont think that one can ever heal completely from damage, but it is up to us to decide how we handle it, i dont know if i will mange to survive until i reach a natural death, but in case it will just all be stories i can tell that will intrigue and inspire another person one day, or i throw it all away when i am in the heat of the moment 🤷♀️ best of luck and stay strong no matter how heavy your chest feels | That is horrible and things not anyone should have to endure. I’m so sorry. When I read this I really related to you, I have felt very similar things. I didn’t think that my life was worth living because I hated myself so much. Yet here I still am. The thought of accepting my own presence felt impossible, that I was bound to the hate for myself and not able to get away from it. I’m still not fully healed, I still have those feelings towards myself, but what has changed was that I could see a change. I altered small everyday habits. Slowly tangled myself out of my misery and I saw change. On December 31st I thought to myself; “This year I will do my best, I will truly give my life a shot” and it worked. Now it’s March and I have found myself embracing me, the same me that I could not stand a few months ago.
You can change. In fact, you are the only person in your life who have that ability. So give yourself a chance, give your life a chance- because you will die eventually, there is no escaping death. So why rush it? Spend this lifetime living so you can spend the rest of eternity in peace.
I believe in you ❤️ | null | null |

My conservative parents are against me starting medication | depression | 11gckbn | 1 | null | true | false | 1 | false | Well maybe explain to them people with any kind of organ disease have to take medication to take care of their health similar to how someone with diabetes has to take insulin. Not every medication is some type of cocaine/heroine etc that she’s thinking. Especially that this is a medication prescribed by a doctor and doctors do know what they’re doing given that they went to many years of med school unlike her. Even my parents had the same feeling like depression doesn’t exist or meds don’t do anything. But it’s possible they’ll come around. Be honest on even the big parts like suicidal thoughts. It’s okay to show attitude on what the real situation could be like. After all, she is saying everything on her mind without a filter. Then you should too. Arguments may arise but maybe their stubbornness will fade and they’ll actually put time into researching the illness their child has | I don't think their opinions really have anything to do with being conservative. I'm very conservative and I have no problem taking my anti depressant medicine. | Your a legal adult, don't listen to your mom and try antidepressants without her knowledge, if it helps you then great but if it doesn't, try talking to someone | It has nothing to do with being conservative, it’s being ignorant. You have to do your best to stay alive. If that means taking antidepressants, then so be it.

Tomorrow isn't decided, there is no fate.
No, I don't know you, but I don't think you suck, I think you're going through a lot right now. | that shit didn’t work for me either. its not bc you suck, everybody’s bodies just respond to different things. you can talk to your prescriber about it if you continuing feeling this way.
depression steals your life man, it adds so much weight to things other people don’t have to think twice about. its understandable to be in a rough place in life right now as a young adult as the world collapses around us.
I’m in a bad place in life as well, it helps considering how much people can recover from. if other people can recover from the nightmares they’ve lived, it wouldn’t be reasonable to assume I couldn’t too. be gentle with yourself, you still have time to reach a point where you genuinely are happy to be alive. | null | null | null |
