[TredOut]

Tell me everything that makes you depressed and complicates your life.

[Karactacus]

my twin brother who has better grades, closer friends, talks to girls more and is better than me at literally everything.
not even kidding, i can't think of a single thing im better than him at
I guess he's just naturally is better than me at life.
can't even bring myself to hate him properly either. he hates making me feel like shit, and he's my fucking homie

im just a jealous asshole.

[lliam]

Never in my life I was depressed or such. I'm not the type for that. But my kryptonite is the incomprehensible behavior of some girls.^^

One of my ex boyfriends has started hanging out with us again & I find it really awkward because I fancy him more now than I did when we actually went out, but I don't have the confidence to talk to him about it because after we broke up he got I boyfriend almost straight away (a couple of day) but I have been single since and tbh idk if he is the sort of person who would keep something like this between us. I have told a few people that I can trust, hoping it would releave some of the upset but it didn't because I still always think about him.

Just a majority of mom's side of the family not accepting that I still want to become a singer instead of working in an office. They're also mad I want to move to Wisconsin with my dad next year instead of staying in Michigan. It's mostly because they want me to consider them my only family.

[Babs]

Intense self-loathing and paranoia, a lack of close friends, and absolutely no life structure.

[Sherman]

I am extremely bad at socializing and it leaves me extremely depressed when I talk myself out of talking to new people or talking to the person I have a crush on.

Last year I was amazing best friends with this girl, and we did everything together, however we slowly drifted apart this year, no classes together, bigger work load etc. and it made me really depressed at first, but I learned to control it and not feel like shit all the time because of it. Then a couple months later she texts me and says "i miss you". All of a sudden these memories come flooding back and my heart felt like it was going to burst because of how much i missed her. So, we organised a date and a place to meet, to finally reconnect again.

The day rolls around and I'm so excited. We're going to go out for lunch, see a movie, spend some time shopping, then go and watch some fireworks. I go to the place we're supposed to eat lunch at 1pm. The time we had earlier discussed. I'm early so I'm not fussed and I decide to look at the menu and decide what i want. 1pm arrives and she still hasn't arrived so I just think to myself that she's running late, maybe she missed her bus or something. 1:30 and she still isn't there. So I text her to ask where she is. no reply. So I wait... and I wait... and wait... and wait... and wait... I tell myself that she's going to come soon, she'll be here any second. I'm waiting for the moment that she walks through that door to give me a hug and tell me how much she misses me. I wait... and wait... and wait... and wait... People come and go... She still isn't there. I keep telling myself that she'll be there.

8 hours. I waited 8 hours for her. I lied to myself for 8 hours. So I text her one last time, "where were you??". Then I get the message "Sorry. I forgot". It literally felt like someone had stabbed a knife into my heart. I nearly lost it. I was in hysterics. I couldn't hear anything around me. I ran out of the resturant without paying. I ran down the street and sprinted the 3 mile journey home sobbing as I did so.

That night I cut myself so many times that I was faint from the blood loss. and I came so close to killing myself that it caused actual physical sickness.

Then nothing. 7 months pass and there's not a word... then 2 weeks ago i get a text from her with the same words as before. I sobbed for an hour before replying. Once again we set up a place to meet. only this time she cancelled on me.

So that's what's been depressing me lately. I'm starting to wonder if this was even a friendship in the first place.

p.s sorry if there's a bunch of spelling mistakes, I don't really want to read through this all that much.

[Jinglebottom]

I don't feel like I fit in with anyone. I'm just an outsider.

[Hideous]

Depression hits me the most during this time of year, it happened to me the past three years. I would have mental breakdowns, anxiety attacks and I would take a long break from school. I'd lose friends and connections with my teachers.

The worst thing is assuming that I'm just lazy and worthless. Teachers have told me that before, and it made everything worse.

I'm getting better now. Not the best, but I'm making progress in class. I'm more focused on getting to school in time and staying in school!

[yeehaw]

Alright, so I have massive trust issues. People tell me 'oh you can come to me if you have any problems and I'll help you through it, I'll do and [another fake gesture] if you really want me to'. One day, it got to the point where I had to tell someone about something that had happened a long time ago with family, it had been driving me insane recently and I had been getting really depressed and I opened up to her and told her [I]everything. It took me about 2-3 hours just to say everything just as they had happened, and she had been there just blatantly nodding, looking down at her phone. Works out she was telling someone else just as I was saying it, and now most of my school year knows what had happened.

After everyone bugging me daily about it and constantly asking me questions, I got home and just tried to keep calm and tried not to let it get to me. The next day, I was incredibly quiet and did not speak or look at anyone in the eye. I had a maths lesson, and my teacher decided to heckle me most of the lesson, making me come up to the board and do answers for no apparent reason and it gave everyone the chance to laugh at me and stuff like that. My teacher laughed along, and I just snapped. I absolutely screamed at him, top of my lungs. Some of the maths classes opposite could hear me and I started screaming at all of my class. The girl who had told everyone was bright red and couldn't look me in the eye, and I got right up to her and screaming in her face.

Yeah, I'm in loads of trouble. But so are they, so y'know.

This have been going on for the past month. I don't feel like doing anything. Just staying in bed and going aimlessly over the internet (that is how i found this website). I am not generally depressed. It is just i feel useless and a burden right now.

[Leprous]

The fact that I used to try to help everyone around me. It ruined me as a person. Because of some events that took place because of my own stupidity I lost most of my friends, and I'm not the same as I used to be. I used to think I could make everyone who was sad happy, but yeah, that wasn't true as it only made me depressed. Because of this I have gotten really nervous lately, and I often say things before I think about them which can end up being pretty mean.

[redrider12]

I feel like all of my friends are co-conspirators against me. I talk to one in confidence and they all know. And when I have a problem with one, they all seem to know. I just feel like a pain in everyone's ass

[Deku]

Tell me everything that makes you depressed and complicates your life.

Mine that I'm facing right now is who I really am and how I'm changing as time goes on. It just always bothers me.

[Magenta]

School right now. I don't want to be there and I'm trying to switch schools but I'm desperate to at least finish the year. And although I adore my girlfriend, I'm always afraid I'm going to do something to mess it up. I just want to spend time with her but then I get really shy and don't know what boundaries are where since this all really new.

I don't know why it makes me depressed sometimes but it does.

[jessie3]

Coping with my childhood sexual abuse and the trauma it comes with.

The constant struggle of not having to think about it every single day, the struggle of not wanting to relive the situation through memories, flashbacks, touches to sensitive parts of my body and even certain smells. It's a painful and drastic thing to carry with you for the rest of your life.

I just want it to stop...

[Dying Ember]

Being in hospital for over half a year for suicidal ideation and just having to deal with one of the nurses that have most helped me and I was closest to dying on Christmas Eve because of a car accident

[Melodic]

currently dealing with manipulation, rumors, and passive-agressive behavior from my mom's side of the family.

[Shiny Moon]

I'm on holidays so the biggest struggle right now is trying to leave the bed :P

[Bubbawhack]

For real though. It's like "I could go do something productive with my break... but I am so comfortable and I don't wan't to ruin that..."
