Finding it hard to open up anymore

Post Reply New Topic

Hey, I've been going through kind of a bad phase in my depression again and it's starting to really pull me down. I used to have a very close friend who I could confide in but things ended very badly and now I find it incredibly hard to really talk to anyone when I'm feeling down. I do have friends who care and some have even said that they're willing to listen if I need anyone but there's just this block somewhere in me. I guess I'm afraid of trusting anyone again after things not working out so many times in the past.

My current issue isn't really anything specific either so I can't "crack" it open and solve it like I usually would. I'm just really down and depressed and I wish I could lean on someone to take some of the weight off. :<

Not sure what I'm looking for by posting this but I figured it wouldn't hurt. I just hate feeling like this... I keep skipping classes and getting overwhelmed by every little thing I need to take care of.

Hello.

I've been going through something like that for years now. I don't feel I can trust people. However, I know that's not healthy and I've been trying to break out of the shell.

Feel free to PM me any time. I'll be glad to be your pen-pal of sorts. We'll talk and try to figure it out in a way that you feel less publicly exposed if you so wish.

Thank you for the reply! And I appreciate the offer. :3 You may always PM me as well.

It really doesn't feel healthy and it does take a lot of practice to be able to trust again. It feels draining to keep all of it inside. Sometimes it's just hard to even put to words how I'm feeling, which used to be easy for me. D: I suppose everyone deals with that to some extent. Ohhh communication, why must it be so difficult? :'D
