Hi, I am 24 and married to a wonderful man, but I have never been more depressed. I don't know what to do with my life. All I want is change but am paralyzed with fear of change as well. I don't make friends very easily because I don't trust a lot of people. On the outside I am happy and smiling, but on the inside I am falling apart. I could really use someone to talk to.
Hi...I am in sort of the same boat but on the other side I guess you could say. I love a woman who is very depressed and just want to help her. I read all I can in order to help me with finding the strength and patience I need. It's so hard because I struggle with finding the right words and worry that something I say or do will put more pressure on her. I've told her and I think convinced her that I won't abandon her but at times I feel abandoned. I know it's just that she just is overwhelmed inside her depression and it's not me at all but I worry so much that I'm going to lose her. Thanks for listening.I'm sorry I haven't addressed your needs. I just thought that you might help me understand what you go through and what she is going through and that it might help me help her. Best of luck to you and I hope we can talk more. David

I got on this sight tonight in order to find people to talk to. People who don't deal with depression don't ususally understand the need to talk. I am going to share some life story later so look for it.... and write some more. Best wishes, Lopretta

One of my friends used t osay that she doesn't make friends very easily. Now, she has joined a Buddhist meditation circle; she told me it really helps her. WEHy not join a meditaion and relaxation program--it may help destress you. You sound awfully stresed. Six years ago, I joined a meditation program--it helps, really sometimes.
