I don't ever talk about this but here it goes. I have lived a very good life in the eyes of others, but I have struggled with hell. I have been taught that you never let what goes on in your home be known to others. I have suffered from depression for as long as I can remember. It started by watching my dad beat my mom and wondering why he did this to her. I can remember a certain time where I was sitting in the hospital with her because he almost killed her. I would cry and pray that someone would save us from him. When I was 7 he left us. We were happy even if we struggled, we were safe from him.
At the age of 12, certain circumstances came to play and I had to go live with him. He has remarried and had a new family with his second wife and her kids. I came into the household as a stranger and was treated as such. If I did something he would beat me, if something was missing I stole it, if the other kids wanted something they got it, but me....nothing.
At 14 I didn't listen to my dad and went to hang out with my friends. He drove around and found me with them. He dragged me away by my hair, threw me in the car and yelled until we got home. Once there, he beat me until my stepmother came home and pulled him off of me. I was in the hospital for a few weeks because of my injuries. The hospital was told that I was beat up by some kids, and I went along with the story in fear for my life. I lived in that hell for a few more months before I decided to take my own life. When I was found, I was taken to the hospital and then to a mental hospital for treatment. When I got out my dad was in the process of divorcing his wife so I was no longer the focus.
Things became better after the divorce. It was just me and my dad. He worked, I worked and went to school. We didn't really see or talk to each other and it was perfect.
My story gets worse and then better again. I am in a great place in my life now. I would love to listen to anyone who wants to talk.

<3 I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad life is going great for you now.  

I feel so lonely.

That is very rough, and I'm so sorry.  

My mom was beat by her father. He held a gun to get head, broke her clavicle, and so much else growing up. He quit drinking, and is a great part of our lives now, but I know my mom and her sisters still hold resentment against him, even though they don't show it. I'm glad you are at a great place!

My name is Cat. I'm here to listen. Feel free to PM me, or address me directly in here if you need someone to listen to you.

I've struggled with depression for my entire life. I've been working through suicidal ideations for the last several years, as well.

I saw a man commit suicide a little over a year ago. It has changed me. It was a life altering experience, and still torments me and plagues my dreams. Because of this experience, I deal more heavily with fear and anxiety...especially separation anxiety from my husband and children.

I had my own experience with a suicide attempt in August, but I won't divulge further than that. I got a lot of help after that situation, and continue to struggle through depression.

My mom is on the national alliance for suicide prevention, and works closely with an organization called Save (Suicide awareness and voices of education).

I'm here to help anyone that might need it. I can provide support and help you find local aide.

You don't have to be sorry at all, hun! If you ever need to talk, you can PM me. My husband is across the country, and I can relate in that aspect.

Fantastic idea. I've been in that situation, and am always glad to listen to anyone going through it. My sister also suffered from PPP, so I have experience with that as well.

My name is Megan. I've suffered from depression most of my life, I've been to countless psychiatrists and social workers. I survived a rape at 17 years old and have struggled with eating disorders as well.

Last august, after my first miscarriage, being diagnosed with cervical cancer and after my engagement dissolved, I tried to take my own life. It was a close call and I finally was able to get the help I needed.

I'm a very good listener, I won't ever judge you and I'm almost always online. I would rather spend 24 hours online with someone to comfort and listen, then read their obituary.

I'm here if anyone ever needs me <3

Anyone online? I need to talk.
