First of all, let me thank you for posting your thread. This is my first day on the site as well. Your comment about never expecting to be on a site like this really resonated with me. It also helped me realize that asking for help can be a good thing. I think that acknowledging issues surrounding mental wellness are often unnecessarily stigmatized by society; and people like you and I are brave for taking steps to face our issues head on.
The health educators on this site seem genuine and knowledgeable. I am looking forward to learning more from them. I wish you a lot of success and a lot of support in your journey!
This is my 1st time on a website like this. I've been looking for group therapy sessions just to see how other people are coping with the world. I've not found any, and I don't think there are any in my area.
I'm 28, female, depressed with big parts of my life. Nothing has ever been easy. Worse thing is i know people are going through things that are far worse than me... but I can't help but feel the way i do. Even writing this i have tears in eyes. I want to see someone who a one-to-one session with someone -i can't imagine it. I'd feel all the attention on me... I couldn't take that, at least in a group other people are talking and sharing and knowing that people are suffering wouldn't make me feel so alone. I'm not sure if this would help, but I wanted to try.
Anyway I'm glad there are places like this where people can share things. I'm not that good and really i'm not sure what i should be writing.
I can say that life has not gone the way i've wanted it to go. I knew that i was never a bad person i always thought i was a good person, but turns out people just use and abuse a person's good nature - my good nature... so much so that now i know it's all my fault. Everything that has happened to me is my own fault - so i'm not as good as i was thinking. Actually this is not the place for me and i don't need help.
