Please say hi - Depression Message Board

Machalfa · 06-03-2003, 06:31 PM

I sat here so many nights reading everyone's emails. It seemed to make me feel better. I really thought so. I don't know what to say. I'm tired and sometimes I feel really alone. I have 3 kids and a husband but I still feel tired and alone. I wish I had a friend to tell things to. Someone who doesn't judge me like everyone else seems to. I have a professional level job and try to always be the good mom and the loving wife. I have no idea who I am anymore. I am scared that no one will say hi to this. Please say hi.

Hey Machalfa,
Hi, and Welcome to the boards!! You can use the boards as someone to talk to.. A lot of people here, can understand and relate in ways to how u feel.. Post here, and dont be afraid of being judged.. I'm not saying people dont judge here, but for the most part they dont.. there have only been a few experiences.. In any case, continue to post.. And be yourself, dont be afriad to post about certain things for fear of someone judging, becase remember.. No one knows who u really are.. Take care..

Hi, I haven't been around here long, but folks seem very helpful. One of the things you'll probably learn about dealing with depression is to try to fight what they call "mind reading" thoughts/errors. You'll come to realize that not nearly as many of the people around you are being as judgemental as you are now assuming. When you're down those are the kinds of thoughts that got you there and are keeping you down. Good luck!

Hi
Welcome to the board. I am a mom with 2 kids a husband and lot of animals. I also have a professional level job which I am so tired of doing. I help my husban run his business but I still do not have a friend that I can talk to or go shopping with. I never did have many friends growing up, I was a loner. You just get used to it, yes it bothers me but I say that's life. I have been told people are affraid to aproach me. I am not a bad person I just take life serious, I never laugh. Jokes are not funny to me. My best friend is my husband but you still need to have that friend relaitionship with so one that does not live with you. I also sit here at night reading the board my daughter suffers from depression and I am trying to help her situation. If you are tired and loney just post someone is always their on the other side to answer. Although I have a posting for a few days now on the cancer site that no one has answered. Last week I had to have a biopsy on my uterus linning for poloyps and next week I meet with a specialist to do a colonoscopy test. Yeah I'm scared and was wishing to get some advise on the site I posted.

Please write back my ear is here for you
