Discussion This website feels like a comfort

I've struggled with depression since the age 10-13 and have been dealing with it for years. Im a collage student now and I always felt like I could never talk about how I feel. Nobody wants to hear it but I remember when I found this site while I was trying to look for groups of suicidal people like myself. I feel very connected that others have the same thinking as me. Usually im treated like im crazy but im so happy to see there's others like me out there who can relate without spewing bs about God or how there's people doing worse or its all in my head. I just wanted to get that off my chest. I honestly hope to make friends on here soon if that's not to crazy to think about.

This site is fine but making friends will probably not work. Everyone is depressed & suicidal lol theres not much to relate to other than constantly feeling down. But good luck!

i wouldn't recommend making friends here unless they're in the recovery section, or they could die and you won't be able to talk to them anymore. not to be a debbie downer.

Hey I've made friends in awkward places so I wouldn't doubt it too hard lol. But that's probably just my delusional self talking I guess I just mean people to chat to every once in a while.. if that makes sense.

No worries! You're absolutely right, I guess I didn't take that into too much consideration. I guess just being alone constantly just kind of makes me desperate even for a small connection that may not even last forever. It's happened to me before so I dont even know why I didn't think about that lol.

Agreed. I like how this site encourages pseudo-anonymity, it makes it so much easier to be more genuine and expressive compared to other places
