People don't want to take you seriously..

[Jackieblue]

I tell people that I get depressed or feel uncomfortable about hearing other people's relationships good or bad b/c I never experienced one. It seems to me that certain people do not understand my feelings or respect them and here's an example of one of them..

It's seems that all you're filled with is bitterness and jelousy !!

stop moaning and start sorting out your issues, and stop expecting the world to stand back and not say anything incase its upsets YOU


You dont want to hear about others success and happiness in relationships and you dont want to hear about others divorces and bad relationships !!!!!!!


so am I right in presuming all you want to hear about it people who are like you ?? right ??

What are you some kind of god??

It shows that certain people are totally disrespectfull and does not understand my situation, all they do is make judgements and critisisms.. I don't understand that type of behavior in people. I feel that people don't understand my certain feelings.. Imagine if they were in my place..

I would never talk to people in that certain way if they were in my place.

Especially with that type of critisism..

It is hard for others who have never dealt with these types of problems to imagine what we go through. Then there are others who are under the impression that we can fix it and make it right somehow. I do believe that we all have triggers we can avoid but imagine living their lives where you dont have to. It takes someone who has been there to truly understand. I hope this criticism isn't coming from your friends because they should be more supportive than that.

I hope this criticism isn't coming from your friends because they should be more supportive than that.

Right now I don't have any friends, but it wouldn't surprise me b/c some friends do stabb you in the back. I had friends but they turned into foes..

I am in a similar situation. I dont go do anything and I dont have friends anymore. I have stopped all forms of communication with people I knew personally. Try to remember your not alone in your feelings and its not your fault that you have issues. It helps me to be able to come to these sites and find people who are going through the same or have been there before.

Thank you for supporting me. Not many forms are like these, there are forums I've been to that had certain ignorant people who does nothing but make judgements. I've even been banned from some of them. It comes to show you that certain people on forums don't really care.. But it doesn't mean I'm giving up hope. I'm sure there are certain forums where people do care and this is one of them. TTFN

I'm so sorry you feel that you don't have anyone to support you through your depression. It is however good to remember that though supportive friends are important for getter through depression, if your existing friends aren't there for you, you can find new people out there who WILL BE! Depression treatment is multi-faceted and there are many things you can do on your own to meet people. First off, glad you found this forum! There is a lot of good information here from others who have experienced depression too (many for years and years). You can meet new people in your community by doing volunteer work, joining a club (book, cooking etc.), or doing physical fitness (like yoga, running etc.) These last few examples not only get you to meet and interact with new people, but learning (like through a club) and physical fitness are always ways to help treat the symptoms of depression. It may not seem like anything is helping, but even getting out of the home and into a different environment--even for just an hour or two--could really help improve your outlook for the better!

I know that personally, when I go through bouts of depression (my most recent was...oh right, I'm still going in-and-out of depression...) exercise, even just in the form of walking, and taking yoga really really really help me. I am not saying these are the best ways, but I've tried many things, and these seem to work for me (at least at this stage in the game). Good luck finding some new ways to combat those symptoms (and do let us know what works for you!).
