I've Run Out Of Options

[Fadeaway]

Posting here was the right thing to do. Reaching out is hard. I think it must be a sort of art form.

We care :hug:

I am still learning how to reach out for help and in 20/20 hindsight posting here on the forum was the wrong thing to do and I apologize.

Nothing to apologize for - and thanks for checking back in. Depression is really f*cking hard, and it's hard to know where to go with it, how to talk about it, who it's OK to talk about it with...none of that is easy.

It's good to see you post again after the initial one here. If you're not sure how to reach out, or if you should - do so. In as many words as you can, and let us help, if you can. Anything you need or want to run by us?

Please be gentle to yourself.

Please just ignore this thread. I didn't mean to post bullshit and worry other people. I am still...

We're on this page to help each other - don't ever feel like we will ignore your pain - we relate to it or we wouldn't be here. I often repeat to myself THIS TOO SHALL PASS - and IT DOES. I know it feels like eating an elephant sometimes, just take one bite at a time and force yourself to think about the good stuff in life - like a pet, or the breeze in the trees, or the birds singing - there ARE beautiful things to be thankful for in life. As long as you're breathing, you have options and control over what you do next.

I'm tearing up here because I think it was really brave of you to post what you did. Thanks for modeling that for me.

who are we to say what is right and wrong for you @EveHarrington i think you are in fact very strong for voicing out the place you are at and that many of us have been at before. why do we all feel the need to hide our thoughts and feelings away? I would suggest this is the right place as we all understand and dont judge where else can you do that. i have admiration for you so draw a line under it and stop being so hard on yourself.

Hoping you are okay. I agree with the others, we are here for one another. I too have regretted posting sometimes, but it was the right thing to do - I reached out to a community of others who understand what I'm going through, and who accept and support me where I'm at. That is exercising and option and that is brave. Take care. VB

Can somebody tell me the right way to reach out for help?

I probably won't reach out again as my communication skills go out the window when I'm freaking out. Sometimes I can only get out one word or maybe a few words. I guess that I have to get better first before asking for support.

Hi Eve, Posting that here is a great start. You are doing so already. What do you think you need? Sending much support to you.

Help and what you're having problems with. If you have any idea what may help - and I know we often don't...

You're valuable. Please stay with us.
