I hope his real name isn't Phil and that he doesn't hold a Doctorate.....cause that could be grounds for outing...js Originally Posted by TryWeakly

Apparently, making false accusations about others "employment" status is not "outing" according to the Mods or they just selectively enforce the rules depending on toward who the accusation is pointed, and by whom. Originally Posted by LexusLover
I don’t expect many people to understand what I am going through. In fact, my past self would have scoffed if he heard me say I was depressed and wanted help. My kid brother told me once, several years ago, that he wanted to see a therapist. I told him “...you’re not crazy, you’re fine, you don’t need a therapist.” Looking back, I am incredibly sad - and angry with myself - for having reacted that way. I understand now. More than my former self ever could.Conway, are your issues with depression connected to life knocks, or does life look good from the outside but suck on the inside? Need a pointer here...
Thank you to those who have responded sincerely. And to those who have PM’d me. And to those that have checked in on me multiple times. I am grateful for that.
It’s impossible to understand if you haven’t lived it. So for those that have or are still living with it, I want to reach out again and ask for help.
I took many of the suggestions provided. I’ve gone to a few support groups (DBSA). I’ve sat in a church for hours - even though I am not at all religious. I’ve been to the doctor (three times since my initial post). They prescribed meds (three different kinds since my first visit).
It’s been more than six weeks, and it’s not working. I post here because I know there are many that will read it with diverse experiences/backgrounds. That is worth trying to seek advice.
I’m scared.
I will try anything and I do not care what it is. Please PM me if you think your suggestions are not allowed publicly.
I can’t stay like this.
I won’t.
I don’t want to feel anything.
I don’t want to feel anymore.
I will not post again. Thank you to those who have tried - and will try - to help me.

A lot of people have been stressed the past year and in some parts of the country (and outside of it) more than others.
I will not post again. -Chris Originally Posted by c0nway
