Eating Disorders, Depression, and Daddy Issues

Is there anyone out there with serious depression or a complicated past? I'm just curious as to how many other people there are out there experiencing something similar to me.

Ding ding ding yes. And if you look around alot of us kin have similar problems, just try not to let it get you down. And this type of community is the more accepting and supportive one so your in the right place.

I have Persistent Depression. It's not as paralyzing or as intense of a depression but is characterized by being long term with possible episodes of worse depressions. The reasons behind it are somewhat complicated and hard to explain; but suffice to say it's not caused by specific events or persons, nor any life situation, but something different. Although I cannot claim to have shared similar life experiences as you, I can say I've been dealing with depression for a good many years and can empathize with that. There's a lot of other people here that have dealt with depression, harsh lives, and broken pasts. You won't find another group of people as supportive and kind as the people here.

Thanks to both of you- I don't have many friends and was looking for people I relate to, so hearing that from you two is really reassuring.

Chronic Depression, shit so deep I almost forgot what the sun looks like. But I get by, try to keep my head up, that short of thing.

depression.don't know what specific sort, but pretty much the last 13-15 years.only got medication within the last 2? but hey stayed sober the whole time, so yayyyy.

I used to have social anxiety. All started because my best friends or I thought they were and ended up being tired of me, because I wasent cool to be the popular guys and being who i am loving anime/manga. After that i became distrusting and isolated myself from other people into the darkness. So been alone by myself for 3-4 years Lucky im doing better today but still have to fight with my depression sometimes not that serious. One thing I never understood is how 7-8 years friendship easily could shatter like glasses.:/

I have anxiety problems. I have a big dark past and still going through stuff now. I won't say anything else other than that since it's really personal.
