help! i feel like im the only one out there

hey guys, im new at this whole thing, i was only formally diagnosed with depression today. I feel so lost and confused with everything, i just want somebody to talk to that can relate, i try to talk to my boyfriend but i get the impression he thinks its all an act for attention and it puts me in a more horrible position. tell me im not the only one who feels like im going crazy and feels so down like this..

Welcome to HW... and I can ABSOLUTELY say with confidence that you are NOT alone in this. If you want to tell us more about your depression, that may help us relate to you even more. But, I can say that most of us here can relate to your depression in general. Is there a sprcific reason for your depression? Are you going to attend therapy and/or try medication? What is your plan from here, I suppose is what I am getting at?

Most of the time... I am lost and confused so, dont feel alone there either. I am always in that state. If you dont mind my asking, how old are you? Im just wondering because sometimes age affects the resources available, etc. Plus, there are people on here of all ages and so some may even relate to you even more that way.

You are NOT alone. You are NOT crazy. And you are NOT the only one who feels down. Therefore, you are NOT alone in this. We can help by listening to what you have to say, we can encourage you, and we WILL support you. Keep posting and tell us a little about yourself

Take Care,

Sweetie,

Know that we all are here for you and that we all care. I think seeing a psychologist is a good idea. I see one, plus a psychiatrist too. It works well for me.

I see that your other post has been brought up so I am going to go and read that. I hope that your day is going better. Remember we are all here for you.

Hugs, Karen
