Depressed

[NatureLover]

Can I ask what your form of depression is, @Alex32redden ? There's no need to tell me if you'd rather not. 

[Alex32redden]

Depression of my emotional regulation system. I do not use the clinical name as the name itself is stigmatising and disrespectful.

[NatureLover]

OK...I don't know of it. @Alex32redden  

I only know of Major Depressive Disorder and Melancholia.

I want to say though that I haven't felt any stigma from mental health professionals with my Major Depressive Disorder. I can't understand any mental health professional showing stigma for any kind of depression, as it's kind of their job not to. 

[Alex32redden]

It's reffered by people as borderline personality disorder. And there is a lot of stigma towards it. I haven't received any stigma towards my deppression. My stigma from people was all about my psychosis.

[Alex32redden]

Sorry to hear about your deppressive disorder. I know my deppressive symptoms are the most painful to live with. Despite their being less stigma towards it as I have received for my pschotic episode

[Alex32redden]

I am in a complaint process with the law due to a business discriminating against me after finding out i had a psychosis

[NatureLover]

Ah, thanks for explaining, @Alex32redden .

There are people on these forums with BPD. Would you be interested in talking with some of them?

[Alex32redden]

Is there anybody at SANE that can help me? I'm feeling very hopeless

[Alex32redden]

Yes. That would be good. Thanks. I also have deppression.

Hi again @Alex32redden 

Good on you for seeking support on the forum.I am so sorry to read that you are feeling very hopless this evening Alex and that you are wondering if SANE can help. 

The SANE help centre is not open on the weekends. But there are other help lines that operate 24/7 such as Lifeline, Suicide Call back Service and Beyond Blue. If you are in crisis and need help now the only options on Saturday night is to attend a public hospital or ring 000 for an ambulance. Please reach out for support off the forums if you need help now,

Keep safe,

Whitehawk
