Knightfall893 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Hello everyone,I'll be short and straight to the point - I'm currently (attempting) to recover from severe depression and a near-suicide attempt a few months back and having the occasional relapse, so I thought it would help to try and talk to some people who want to listen. However, I am living in a very isolated area with very little contact with the people I care about, so I often find myself alone with my thoughts a lot more than I really should.I'm pretty much looking for someone willing to have a nice conversation with me without judgement so I can, well, convince my brain that I'm not completely alone out here. Hopefully I'll be able to open up a bit more later in the thread.Thank you for taking the time to read this regardless.DanAlso, here is a pic of some game art by Yoji Shinkawa, because why the hell not.

Data Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Hi Dan.Depression is very common but can be devastating and I am sorry to hear that you came close to reaching the point of taking your own life :(.I live in a large town with a family but am also isolated. You can feel alone in a room full of people, unfortunately!You are welcome to send me a private message or we can talk more on here.Regards, Data (Paul).

Benway Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi & welcome to the site. I have found it to be an invaluable tool in my recovery.I'm sorry to hear of your loneliness and depression. I have been there and its just horrible. All i can suggest is baby steps, being kind to yourself (e.g. - not going into put downs) and I find 'self care' good as it boosts ones self confidence. Congrats on posting your story, Its a first step. And you are very definitely not alone with these feelings. And I never thought it would get better, or even tolerable. From '98 to 2008 i was in-patient 4-6 months of the year. I got a lot of help from the psych services in my country, and meds - which i am kind of against but they kept me alive at times. It's good you have not lost your passion for art. I thought it was Hunter S. Thompson at first Take care & keep postingDr Benway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holly23 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Finding someone to talk to at all is very hard when it comes to depression. Especially if it's people that you know. To be honest I like trying to help people. It's a kind of therapy for me and I am extremely empathetic. So if you want you can message me. I'm here if you need me.
