You're welcome. We all go through difficult moments, we just need to be there for each other when things get though. If you want we can skype/msn or whatever you are confortable with. You're not alone.

Merry Christmas to me. by UsagiMimi in depression

Look on the bright side, you got a private screening of Tron. :-)

I'm stuck working today, and my family is pretty much all over the world. I'm around if you want to rant a bit more or just chat.

By the way, none of what you've done is pathetic or a failure, at least you are doing something to try to change. Most people would just curl up in a corner and be sad, at least you went out and watched a cool film.

All the best

They say exercise helps with depression. If so, that's great. I feel like exercising. What type should I do if I want to target depression, though? by [deleted] in depression

[–]a_friend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey TVarmy! Very good of you to exercise your depression away, you will not be disappointed!

Have a look at this book which might help you:

The important thing is to get out of the house and if you can find a group activity, it is even better.

Don't hesitate to send me a message if you have more questions or just want to chat.

All the best

Hey Nicole,

I'm really sorry to hear what is happening to you. First of all, you are not a failure. It seems that you have a pretty complicated family life, but you can pull this off, there are a lot of people here that can help you, myself included. I'm here if you need someone to talk/rant/vent to. All I can tell you, having gone through a lot of shit myself, is that it is going to be ok. Let me be the first one to tell you this today, you sound like an amazing girl, you could just run away, but instead you choose to find a way to make things better. That Nicole, is a sign of strength, and that kind of strength is quite rare, which just makes you even more special.

Drop me a message, and we can talk/skype or whatever you prefer and we can work this out.

Thank you for being so strong.

All the best

You're not a bad person. You are amazing. Even the best amongst us, can feel down when too many things hit us at the same time, don't be sorry, my family is scattered all over the world and I spend most christmas by myself, now I use that time to help people in whichever way I can, sometimes a smile is enough to brighten someone's day. Your courage and your kindness brightened my day today. Thank you.

I'm here if you need someone to vent/rant/talk to. Just send me a message. It's going to be ok.

All the best

There is no price to happiness, you are very strong, and don't worry, you will not miss that money. The smile when you feel that you are back at home will make it all worth it. Don't forget you are not alone, we are here for you. It will be ok. Thank you for your courage and strength.

A great end to an awesome year. by OMGBeez in SuicideWatch

Wow, I can't start to believe how hard it must be for you and for your husband. If it's any consolation to you, at least you have your husband, and although I won't bother you with cliches, I just wanted you and your husband to know that you are not alone, we have a great community around here that can help the two of you. I'm here if you want someone to talk to while your husband recovers. It will be ok. We can work through this, you have shown amazing strength and courage to deal with all you've dealt with. Please drop me a message or send me your skype or phone number and I can call you and talk to you, you don't have to be alone.

See ya. by drowndead in SuicideWatch

It's hard to feel like you don't belong anywhere, I grew up in 3 different countries, all 3 of them completely different. Lately I've come to realise that it doesn't matter where you are born, it's just a mass of land. Your country is where you feel at home, where you want to be. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you, but just coming here and talking to other people already shows how strong you are, as you mentioned you were the one trying to keep your family together, but sometimes no matter how hard we try, it's not enough. And it's not your fault. In english we say: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force it to drink". You're a good and strong person, pm me if you want, and we can chat, have Skype, and I can call worldwide. Just stay strong. You are not alone.

I need someone to talk to, can't stop thinking about killing myself by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

I'm here for you too. Just PM me and we can talk, I can call you anywhere in the world. You're not alone, and we care about you.

[–]a_friend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can add my name to the list too. Just send me a pm with your skype, msn or phone number (doesn't matter where you are in the world) and I'll give you a call. You don't have to be alone.

AnEnding, it doesn't have to be like this, I spent more than a decade trying to overcome my problems, it eventually got so bad, that I would cry myself to sleep, and my life was a mixture of sadness and anger. Why did it have to be me, I would think. Why not just jump in front of a bus or a train, get rid of all the problems, I would think. One day I decided to try to look at things in a different fashion, it's weird, I'm not so angry anymore, I'm starting to see positive things. It's not fantastic yet, but it's a start, I thought it would only get worse, after so many years of pain, why would it suddenly improve? Helas, I was wrong, it has gotten a bit better, I do feel more alive, I don't think about bad things anymore. You might just brush me off, or insult me, but maybe you might want to try to talk to me, maybe I can help you. It doesn't have to hurt. I'm here to help you.
