MDJunction to me

ThereseML"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

Hello everyone, i am new here on this topic. I have been suffering depression for a long time ever since i can imagine. I had tried taking my life so many ways and so many times but for some reason i am still here. I just feel miserable everyday.Dizzy

I had tried everything to make myself happy but it always comes back to me very depressing. The only thing that relieves my pain is that i cut myself to let out all the anger and hurt that people caused me in the past.

So i hope that this topic of depression will help me find a way out of my madness of depression. Thank you.

Hi Angel, I'm sorry to hear you have been struggling so long with your depression. I hear you say you have tried to end your life many times and it hasn't worked, that for some reason you are still here. I think there must be an important reason why you are still here. I think we all want to find happiness and not be depressed, just a matter of finding it. It helps to know there are others who are searching to find some happiness too: That when we feel so depressed, anxious or angry, we can find someone to listen. Please know you are not alone here and can talk or vent anytime. Rachele

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be on your back.
May the sun lie warm upon your face.
And until we meet again,
May the Lord hold you
In the hollow of His hand.

First and foremost, welcome to the group! It has really helped me just having the people here to talk/vent to. Sometimes that makes all the difference. Sometimes it doesn't, and those times are the worst for me. But, I know what you mean about the cutting; I quit a few years ago and now it's like every day I want to do it again but I don't know I think I'm just a coward. Anyway I guess the point to all this would be that I understand what you are going through, and I'm sorry you have to deal with it like the rest of us here. But, I'm on here many times throughout the day and I've always got an open ear and a dry, comforting shoulder should you ever need them. I really mean it though, I'm not just saying that! Sooo I guess just keep us posted on how you're doing (even if it's always terrible, like it seems to be with me!) and HANG IN THERE!! :-*
