When you get depressed do you forget who can help you?

Post Reply New Topic

I forget that I can call a crisis line just to talk to someone, I forget that there's one of those over the counter antidepressant pills left in the package on a desk in here. I just forget it all. Everything happy disappears. Every happy thought or memory, including ways to get help or to feel better. It all just disappears.

No one can help me, even when I'm not so depressed.

I'll just get a load of BS from a crisis hotline, I'm certain.

I imagine some of them are good at listening without judging and repeating what you say and making comments to prove they're listening, or getting some antidepressants for you if you need them. Others probably might scold you for not being close enough to God and make you feel guilty and worse, or send the cops to your house to take you to the asylum and it had better be a one that treats you right but it could be one of the ones people here told horror stories of mistreatment about; I don't know.

Whenever the depression hits really hard...I feel no one can help me.

I don't want to hear peripheral answers like "It'll all be ok" or "You have so much to live for!" It just adds fuel to the fire, my mind will dissect any hopes I have and turn them against me. I always want some answer I can never find.

Been depressed for...9 years now? I wish it'd stop. I wish I felt like someone could help.

I feel that way too. But what I really mean is no ONE thing or person to help me. I'm so depressed, I need it all. It's like offering a glass of water to someone dying of thirst after being in the desert for 5 days with no water. Yes, a glass of water helps, but they need a GALLON of water, or else they'll die even after drinking that glass of water (yes, I know you're not supposed to drink a lot right away after not having it, but you know what I mean, it's an example.)
