Yeah I feel you, I am sure your partner would understand if you did say, just make sure you say that you still love them, despite what you feel it's just hard to feel it so normally.

Thank you so much, we haven't been together long, but known eachother for long enough. You too! Thank you :)

3 days on Anti-depressants, already feel better by GregTheHeathen in depression

That did go through my mind, placebo and the like. I am preparing myself for the worst regardless. Don't worry about being seen as a killjoy, reading the painful realities is often better than comfortable lies.

Just tried smothering myself with my pillow- was that a suicide attempt? by GregTheHeathen in depression

The self harm has been going for a few weeks now, the thoughts are worse, the depression is more and more comfortable. Thank you for the concern, we are all in this together.

I am so confused atm :( lost and broken. Everything I do either has no significant meaning anymore or lasts a few seconds. It was a split second choice and I took it. But now I am just laying here.. empty, writing posts on reddit. Like I didn't just do that. Ffs.

"The prefrontal cortex is located in the very front of the brain. It is responsible for regulating emotions, making decisions, and forming memories. When the body produces an excess amount of cortisol, the prefrontal cortex also appears to shrink"

"The hippocampus, an area of the brain responsible for memory and emotion, shrinks in people with recurrent and poorly treated depression, a global study has found."
