Haven’t heard anything back, and he hasn’t posted anything. I’m really worried.

He replied to you, or have I misunderstood?

You have misunderstood - if you go to his Kinja page you can see his Discussions and date/time for each of his comments. His most recent activity in the Kinjasphere was at 12:19am. The comments preceding his most recent seem normal.

So 12:19 am Sunday morning, then nothing until 7:53 pm Sunday evening. Damn, hope he has managed to gain some control and assistance.

I’m still here, I feel really bad I probably shouldn’t have posted. I didn’t mean to worry anyone I didn’t think it would affect people or that anyone would care. I feel really ashamed. I have an appointment with my therapist on Wednesday at 3:30. I think I’m going to try to hang on till then and see how it goes from there. If I need to I can contact the hospital I went to last time with her go back. We will probably call my psychiatrist together too to talk about meds but my old one left and I’m assigned to a new one so I don’t know if he’ll do anything until I can meet with him in person on the 14th. I’m still in pretty rough shape but I think I can hold out till Wednesday’s appointment.

Glad to see you’re getting some help and you have no reason to be ashamed at all. Reaching out must have been difficult for you but it was the right thing to do.

Glad you are alright!

Just like Lanciere, there’s nothing to be ashamed of, especially since you are seeking the help you need. Plus, it sounds like you have someone by your side to help as well.

There is no need to feel shame because other people care about you! Now I’m making you feel bad so I guess, sorry about that. But we’re a family here. We look out for each other. We’re happy to help a brother out, and there’s no shame in asking! That’s just the depression trying to tell you you’re not worth it. But you are. You always are. And if you can find the strength to overcome those whispers and reach out to us for help, you can find the strength to hang in there for a few more days. It’s a long uphill struggle for sure, but if you need us at your side for any part of it, we’ll be there. Because we’re family. You’re part of our family. And you’re worth it to us.

All the best people have a darkness inside them. There’s no shame in that either. Unlike you, some of us don’t even have a good reason for the darkness, it’s just there, eating away at our souls, leaving us hurt and confused. But you know where your darkness comes from. You’re three steps ahead of us. That doesn’t make it hurt any less, but it’s an answer, and it’s a front to focus your fight against. All the best people have a darkness buried deep inside. There’s no shame in it. It’s why they’re the best people. They have to fight so hard to shine out and push the darkness back.

And please do keep posting! We do care about you, and we do want to know how your fight is going. And you never know, someone else going down a similar path may see your story. They may see there are others out there full of darkness, they may see your struggle to overcome it, and that could just give them a little extra courage to dig deep and find the strength to reach out for that little bit of help they need. And there’s no reason to feel ashamed for helping someone else who so desperately needs it.

Right fella. Listen up.

First, there is no need to feel bad about posting.

Second, there is no reason to be ashamed.

Third, we’re all happy you did, if not just for us to let you know we’re here for you.

If you want or need to rant. Fire away.

Till then, take care okay.

Your not alone.

Thank you, it is really hard for me to do. My needs weren’t a priority growing up and tend to get ignored or get me in trouble so I have a really hard time expressing them. I’m glad I’m going to be getting help too.

Thank you, I’m so sorry I didn’t respond earlier I didn’t want to upset other people or cause them pain. I hate it when I do that to other people. It makes me feel like a bad person.

Thank you for responding. I’m trying to make it I really am. I hope I can help other people like me some day.

No worries. I’ve been down that road many times before and I’m sure it will be more to come for myself. Sometimes it takes a few hours and a couple of times it has taken several months.

You’ll pull thru this.

Captain of the Enterprise > Svend

Thank you again. I appreciate it and will try feel less bad and ashamed. Thank you I’ll keep trying to take care.

I’m still here, sorry for not responding sooner. I made it through another day and have a therapist appointment on Wednesday that I’m planning on attending

No worries man, I’m glad you’re okay and remember we care about you. I’m happy you’re getting help and if you ever need to talk one Corolla owner to another let me know.

Hey! Don’t feel bad. This bunch cares about you, man. If you need to talk to someone, definitely reach out to someone. This is something a lot of the folks here (including myself) have dealt with before.

That wait time you posted was awful. :( I know there’s a few different lines, though—if it happens again, maybe pop the one you’re on hold with for too long on hold search for a different one to call as a back-up?

What’s helped me when I’ve felt this bad is to force myself to go do other stuff. Out of the house is good since you seem to be like me and worry about being a burden to other people. I’m less likely to want to be The Sad Person when I’m out and then sometimes find it easier to concentrate on doing other stuff. That’s a workaround to avoid thinking about it—I know—but sometimes whatever distraction I get into when I’m out with/around other people ends up leaving me feeling better. Don’t drive if you’re afraid you’ll do something bad behind the wheel, but maybe find a friend to hang out with or something to do to keep your mind off it until Wed. or Fri.

The last time I had similar thoughts, my therapist made me tell someone I knew who I could call in a case of emergency about it anyway. I hated that, but it helped.

But man, never feel embarrassed about this. So many more people get depressed than are willing to fess up to it. I’m glad you’re reaching out to the right folks to get some help with this. Good luck!
