Depression Thread

hi there, i think maybe we should be opn about it-maybe then people will understand whhat we're going throuhg.

u neeed help rite? i get it's hard buh try 2 get sum support. take care:)

Hey, you gotta talk this out with someone-your hubyb or a close pal who's got your back would be great. A chat with youur GP could also do wonders; they might hook you up with some antidepressants and/or counselling. Depression is totally legit and shouldn't carry any shame. And hey, there are tons of moood-boosting techniques online that can help too. Don't sweat it-help is out there.

yep def agree w sunsetred i asked my gp to get me set up for cbt but they said i could do it myself too turns out my first sess is at the end of this month gonna go once a week for like 1 hr 4-6 weeks totally stoked abt it

Don't worry, you're not the only one feeling this way. Talking to someone can really help, though. Big hugs!

i think i agree with what everyone else has said-maybe phoebe could look into getting some help if she needs it? there's support available, and i hope she knows that

Hey, just wanna say it's important to let it all out-i mean, if we keep hiding how we feel, nobody's ever gonna know when we're hurting.

Hey, I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. You know, hiding depression from everyone can feel like a big weight on your shoulders. I had "smiling depression" myself and tried so hard to put on a happy face for others that eventually it all just... exploded. It's rough, but sometimes even talking to someone who isn't super close to you can make such a difference. Is there anyone out there-a friend from work or an acquaintance-who might be okay with listening? Most people are actually pretty supportive when they know someone is struggling. Don't wait too long to reach out; it helps a lot more than keeping everything bottled up inside.

I dunno if this will hlep at all, but maybe give the Samaritans a shot? They're super chill and just wanna listen. And honestly, blasting some calming tunes or uplifting stuff can do wonders. You could also try reciting some positive affirmations-they really work for me sometimes. Plus, doing something that's even slightly fun every day, like writing in a journal for 2-5 minutes, might make you feel better. Just don't overdo it with social media-maybe half an hour at most so u don't get sucked into the vortex.
