Has anyone here had a depression, or maybe post partum depression?

I've been in this state for a long time and this is not good. I've been thinking more and more about things I actually did'nt have to think. Been irritable, did'nt want to talk to anyone,prepared being alone and unable to communicate. Its so hard that I ended waking up holding a knife or having suicide thoughts. I cut my wrist several times ,hit my head and see things like pictures coming to me repeatedly. But , after so many suicidal thoughts that comes to my mind, I overcome it. I overcome it without the help of any doctors or psychiatris. I overcome it myself. What did I do? I just accept it and embrace the things that triggers my sadness. I just become happy with mylife .

If I knew someone had cut their wrists several times, I would not suggest to them that they embrace the things that trigger their sadness and just enjoy life. I would encourage the person to seek professional help so they could get the support they need. Depression runs in my family so I've been there. I've been doing great for many years now but I wasted a lot of time trying to work up the courage to make an appointment with a therapist when I could have been using that time making progress towards feeling better. I'm truly glad that you were able to feel better on your own but if the suicidal thoughts ever return, I hope you will seek help. You deserve to be happy and you can be. And because I know how hard it was for me to seek help, I see people who do it as strong.
