I expected this website to be more active . I was hoping to connect to people that feel the same way I do. People who have never experienced depression just donβt understand.

It used to be more active. Sadly a lot of the regulars who used to be here are gone. I think what they’re doing with the weekly questions is a good thing though. It gives a reason for me to check back besides just when I feel bad (though that usually is more often than once a week anyway). I think if you make a topic people with similar experiences would probably answer to that. I myself have struggled with depression for about half of my life (26 now).
Justaspekt,
Thanks for your insight about the blog posts helping. We are trying to make the platform better for back and forth communication between members so please feel free to share any more thoughts.

i just made my account on this site less than 20 minutes ago and just by scrolling through the site i feel the same lack of activity on the page. I was going through some sort of episode when i made this account and just though that finding people who could relate or at least pretend to relate with me just in the moment could help me get out of the depression based anxiety attack that i feel just occurred. I didn’t know what to expect, somehow i just though a chat group was going to appear and id be able to relay my problems and emotions and take in the problems of others who don’t know what to do anymore as well but all i found were empty blog posts. i don’t mean to criticize this site and for all i know i just wasn’t looking in the right parts of it but i felt a disappointment that felt similar to yours. I don’t know if I’m depressed so I wouldn’t promise that I could relate but i do know that for the last year ive just felt trapped with myself and the poor decisions ive made lately and its just felt like ive lost who i was and have become an empty husk of a person. I don’t think I’ll end up using this site again and i dont care too much if anyone reads this or gives a damn about what im saying but the mere act of typing all of this (and rambling for way too long) helped me out of my episode tonight to some extent and so im still grateful to have been able to find an outlet for that. Maybe I’ll figure this out on my own or maybe I’ll find someone to help and who I can hopefully help. Even with this being an account with a made up name (Rooty) i still find myself struggling to submit this long-ass passage about nothingness and just the reflections of a million random feelings all at once, because even though i’ll probably never return to this site I still have anxiety about what someone would think about this and whether or not this even applies to the original topic (which ik it no longer does since ive rambled for way too long already), but screw it.
