Depression

[Phoebe4]

Hey I’m new to the forums feeling lonely tonight not coping well thought I’d come here find people to talk to

Welcome. The forums are often fairly quiet at this time of day/night but I think there is a thread somewhere for people who are up late in the social spaces forum just can’t remember what it is called. Anyway I hope you find the forums helpful and I am sorry you aren’t feeling the best.

Hello im an insomniac, also get pretty depressed sometimes, this is my first post ever, so please forgive me if I say the wrong things. Sometimes when I'm feeling down what helps me is to imagine if the person you love most or even a pet that you love was feeling how you are now and then tell yourself what you would tell them, hope that helps a little for you

Hi again, you also mentioned feeling lonely so maybe a little of my story could help you? In my life time i had been treated like i was "less than" for so long by so many ( Im very socially awkward) but one day when I found myself being bullied again, trying to ignore it, I suddenly had this loud thought in my mind " im a person too", It took me a moment to hear the truth in that, that little phrase made me realise I was just as precious and worth no less than anyone else, they were not better than me, I had as much right as anyone to be respected and treated like a human, just the same as them and I believe you're just as precious as anyone, you're a person too
