Something’s not right

Depression (not a post for sympathy & attention, just venting)

Depression (not a post for sympathy & attention, just venting)

I always seem to have moods that fluctuate - I could be feeling ok, or content, then I get depressed, or vice versa. No reason behind it most of the time. Yes I have a Psychiatrist and am on meds. And no this post isn't for attention and sympathy, just needed to vent I guess.

It just seems like whatever I do and say and how much I try to be a good person and support people, I'm not good enough and am left out - there's always people better. I'm a failure. I try my best.

I'm just worthless and many other negative things, sigh.

@outlander I'll just keep overthinking everything and being full of guilt and regret and blame myself, I'm an idiot and just screw everything up

Maybe I need a break or to leave all together

Re: Depression (not a post for sympathy & attention, just venting)

its up to you if youd like a break and what you feel comfortable with @Former-Member
misunderstandings do happen here sometimes though and can take another member to give a different perspective to see what the other members trying to say. theres been many mistakes made on my behalf but I didn't always see them till someone else pointed them out. I then tried to work my way forward with the member I had the mishap with whether that be to give them space or to talk to them

@outlander hmm I guess so yeah. I just hope I didn't bully anyone or was rude or anything like that.

@Jynx I replied to your email

@Former-Member I'll give you some space.

I took what you said on board and I've asked mods to delete my threads all except 2 (this one I've asked to be deleted too). You were right.

I'm deeply sorry, I hope I wasn't rude and didn't make you upset. Either way please forgive me.

I'd still like to talk to you but I'll give you some space. I'll be around if you feel like you want to talk to me, if you still want to be friends and aren't mad (I understand if not though).

Take care and please don't hate me. I'll stop tagging you now

@Former-Member It has been stated elsewhere but I also would like to re-inforce that you are wanted here. It is hard in any new environment to feel like you belong, are listened to and supported but the suggestions made by other members tonight all have some validity in helping you forward to being able to have that here for yourself. No-one hates you or wants you to leave but we do all have our own insecurities, trigger points and issues we need to deal with. That does in no way take away your own issues nor does it make it any easier for you at present.

I have seen an amazing amount of support you have shown for so many since your return, you are very empathetic and that is a wonderful quality to have. Sometimes less is more though Hon - by that I mean one post, thought through, re-read and then posted can say a lot more than several in a row. That goes for apologies also - one is enough because we all here are not only very conscious of each other's vulnerabilities but also able to see when things have been misinterpreted or not come across in the way intended.

For that reason I would add to many voices here - maybe not delete everything but take a short break - get some offline support right now and then come back fresh tomorrow. That of course is entirely your choice but as is state very clearly in the community guidelines - this is not a crisis service, it is a peer support forum and if you feel you are in crisis then you need and deserve to get offline help. Your peers will still be here for you when you are able to get through this.
