I’m slowly losing it

What its like to have depression. These are some real statements from real people so please be considerate when reading these statements.

its been a while since I’ve hugged someone

I’m not happy….but I’ve been worse

I’ve been postponing my suicide for the past three years in hopes that things will get better but I’m slowly starting to give up

I know its selfish to talk about myself when the whole world is collapsing around me

unlike my peers, I no longer dream about intimacy or sex….I just wanna be hugged and held close

I need some company

I’ve isolated myself from others

I haven’t been myself in a long time

I’m struggling. I don’t remember the real me anymore because of all the pretending to be normal.

I’m not the daughter my parents wanted me to be. No I don’t have any bad habits- I don't drink, smoke or have sex

I feel like if I hug someone longer than five seconds, I’ll break down in tears

I thought I would be happy with my body if I lost weigh but after losing 30 lbs, I’m still not satisfied

I’ve always wished well for others but now I feel like crying when I see a happy couple. I can’t go through this life journey alone anymore. I just feel so lonely….

I’m just going through motions even when I have no willpower to do them

Maybe its my depression or maybe I’m suicidal….I don’t actually want to die …I just want to be saved because right now I’m struggling to find a reason to live.

Depression isn’t about slitting wrists but about the unwillingness to get out of bed. Its about staring at the ceiling for hours because you feel incapable of moving.
