There was a lizard who lived under my front steps and it made me smile every time I saw him sunning himself on the steps. Today I went looking for him and found his body with his head and tail cut off and it sent me spiraling into a breakdown. I'm so fucking done with everythingI’m sorry about the lizard, and I’m sorry about what you have to go through right now. But it’s ok. It’s going to be ok. I’m sorry that’s all i can say, but it’s the truth and it’s all you need to know. It’s going to be ok ♥
Heyy could you do me a favour? There's a vid called stop being so sad all the time by luanlegacy on YouTube, it made me really mad can you see it and tell me of my anger is justified or not?Ok so i watched it and I get where you’re coming from. People who have depression can’t just say ‘fuck it’ and make their problems go away. We can just think about the positives in our life and make the negatives go away. That’s not how depression works. In saying that, I don’t think that video is aimed at us. I think it is aimed at people who are purely sad because of petty things like because they don’t look perfect or have everything. Sure those insecurities can bring us down, but it’s not the sole purpose of our sadness. I get why you’re angry, but try not to worry too much, he meant depressing in the sense of to make sad or dull in spirits, not in the clinical sense. Hope this helps ♥
Hi there can you please help one of my best friends (giirl-please) she has gone through so much and I'm so worried she's going to end her life. She needs as much support as possible. Thank youYeah, maybe you guys could help to?
I used to have depression and I recovered but recently it's been getting so hard, and I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm annoying my friends, my family and my boyfriend. I just don't know what to do, and I don't really want to go back to therapy :-/ I had one and I'm just not sure, :(you might have to go back into therapy, even though you don’t want to. You can find a new therapist if your old one wasn’t good. But if it’s coming back, it’s important that you try and stop it right now, as soon as you can. Because you can recover again. You know what to do now. You are stronger than before. I know it’s going to be such a pain to go back to therapy but you’re strong enough for this ♥
1 Week. Thank you for your help,or their would be no way I'd even get to one week. Thanks loveies <3 <3so proud of you lovely ♥ you are amazing.
Please help :'( I think I might have severe depression and I don't know how to treat it :'( I put on a fake smile everyday so my parents won't notice how sad I actually am...I want to get help so bad I just don't know how...if I tell my parents I want to see a therapist they would yell at me and tell me I have a "good" life when really I don't. I don't know who to talk to or where to go to to talk about my self harming or depression I have nobody where can I go to find a professional :'(Ok lovely, it’s going to be ok. I think if you can get to a school counsellor (assuming you’re in school) that would be awesome. It seems like you’re just very overwhelmed at the moment and even if school counselling isn’t the world’s best treatment, it can be a really good way to release those really massive emotions that just seem to take over. Just to kind of find your feet and get advice on how to tell your parents or they could tell your parents for you or you don’t even have to tell them for a while. You can just go to counselling a few times to get everything under control. It’s ok my beautiful fighter ♥ i love you

how do you overcome depression?there are a lot of medications you can take and therapists to see and a lot of waiting for it to just go away. There’s a lot of learning how to recognise your triggers and resisting self harm and learning how to cope when things get overwhelming. It’s a slow process but your life is worth it.
thank you so much for your advice ! its actually great advice im so glad i found this page and its making me less anxious about getting help for myself :-) < 3you are very welcome ♥
I really want to die but I also really don't and I'm too cowardly to see a therapist and none of my friends like me I'm really sorry I need helpIf you need help then get to a therapist, no matter how scared you are. Just take it in steps. Set a date for when you’re going to look for a therapist. Set a date to book an appointment. Just keep in mind that this is the hardest part, actually getting to therapy. After that it becomes easier. Don’t be sorry, be strong and get yourself into therapy. I know you can do this ♥.
How can you fake smiles in front of your friends and family? Because I can't anymore... I was really good at this, but now every single laugh is fake. It's funny because they used to call me smiley-girl. I wonder where it went wrong...Sometimes depression gets even the most positive, happy people. And that just goes to show that it’s not your fault, there’s nothing wrong with you, depression is what’ wrong and it snuck it’s way into your head :(
I don't know if I have depression but I don't know how to find out? I don't feel the need to self harm I just always feel like crying, and when I say always I mean every minute of the day. And for not really any reason in particular. All these little negative thoughts accumulate in my mind and this pushes me towards being anti-social at school. Now I just sit in the library by myself and read. Or if I'm with people, I just can't find myself to make good conversation. I can't sleep either:(this could be depression, there are online tests and information here just to give you a rough indication. Hope this helps x
i am suffering from anxiety and depression and have been for over 10 years ,since i was maybe 10 or 11, and its getting to the point where i cant focus on homework , or school , i want to get help ! but this first step is so hard ... D: how do i tell a complete stranger face to face all these things ive kept insideWell the first step is to find a therapist and book an appointment. It doesn’t matter if you tell them nothing except your name in the first session. What matters is that you keep going. Because as you get to know them and you start to feel more comfortable with them you’ll be able to talk about so much more stuff and it will just be easier to open up and allow yourself to be helped ♥
When I was getting better, I started to miss my depression. And now that it's coming back, I don't want it. I think I'm going insane.You’re not going insane, i think that’s totally normal as far as mental illness goes. It’s weird for it to be gone after you’ve had it for so long, but when it’s actually there you remember how much you hate it. It’s not insane, it’s logical.
