I wish I was happy

Hi everyone, I wish I wasn’t depressed and sad. I won’t do anything to harm myself which is good. I am safe. I am just super sad and depressed.

Hi Rose2021,

 

Sorry it's taken so long for someone to get back to you. It sounds like you're really struggling at the moment. I have lived experience of depression and can understand how difficult it can be. For me what really helped was seeing a psychiatrist, exercise and social activity as well as developing a routine. There is some great information on this website about depression and I recommend checking it out.

Please feel free to share more of your story and what has been happening for you the last few weeks.

Rose2021,

 

Thank you for posting here, I echo Bob's apology about the late responses to your post. 

 

I can understand your pain. Depression is awful. I'm glad to know that you're safe, but it's still important to address your sadness regardless.

 

Is there anything specifically that's upsetting you, or were there any triggers? Are there any particular aspects of your life that you're struggling with the most?
