my boring problems with depression

[Mr__kipper]

hi all

I am new to BB so I am kinda nervous about posting this.

I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety for just over a year now and I have been getting really sad over extremely minor stuff like being yelled at and changing schools. I know you don't care but I have been hating myself TONS and have hurtmyself , I am probably just emo. I also feel like my mind is working against me that my brain is constantly forcing me to cry and automatically take things personally, telling me to stop talking to people and stop ruining their lives maybe I am just selfish and want to blame someone. I feel like I should stop now because I am just wasting your time.

Hi Mr Kipper,

A very big welcome to you!

It sounds like you're still quite young which is so sad to be diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Please don't feel like you are wasting our time. I'm only 25, but I really really feel like you're worth more than you give yourself credit for.

You are absolutely right when you say your mind is working against you. It's really true. That's what depression does. I've had an on-going thing with depression including what you describe about your thighs. But there is no shame in having a mental illness. You deserve all the support you can get.

Can I ask if you are seeing any doctors still about this? Schools often also have counsellors to help you deal with school-related stress.

It'd be lovely to hear back from you. These feelings are totally understandable and you're not wasting anyone's time here. We're all here to support each other.

Hi Mr.Kipper,

Firstly, welcome to the forums. You are not wasting anyones time, we are all hear for the same reason and that is to help and support any and everyone with a mental illness.

As James said above, your feelings are totally understandable and you do sound quite young so a lot of things can be very overwhelming. Have you looked at speaking to a doctor about all of this and speaking to a psychologist, please don't think speaking to a psychologist is only for "Crazy" people, they are great people who do great work and just want to help you understand your feelings.

My best for you,

Jay
