Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

I found out today that an old friend committed suicide. She was an amazing veterinarian, and mother of 3 girls. They are devastated. I have been struggling big time with suicidal thoughts and this was a big wake up call. I pray that all of you who are suffering and don't know how to improve anything, as I don't, I pray you find the strength to continue anyway. For the people who love you, you make a much bigger impact than you will ever realize. You are loved, even if you don't feel it. Asking for strength to overcome my own suicidal thoughts so I may never hurt my daughter so deeply. I hope more than anything I can continue through this hell I call depression and someday find relief. Wishing the same for you. Hold on.

I'm horrified! I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000. I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter. I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change. Now this! I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000. I guess I have to pay...

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
Hugs...You are valued here. You are caring and supportive.
You have realized what this is about, and I am sure will find the strength to overcome the negative thoughts.
Gentle hugs
THERE IS HOPE JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND IT IS JESUS....

I have family that doesn't really care. I'm just the cook and cleaner around here. I get put in the middle of arguements that I rather not be in.
I have had several types of antidepressents. Each one will work for awhile, then its time for a change.
I hate waking up to another day. I sleep a lot because.I know things will not change. Not around here.
No one wants to clean up after themselves. So..I guess its my job. Good thing my mommy dearest taught me how to clean..
The only thing that saves me is my DOG. I found him starving after some idiot dumped him. He is the only one that shows his appreciation around here. He knows when I'm sad, and never leaves my side.
He is a pit/ lab mix. And most places hate those type dogs. Even though the " Dog Whisperer" said his favorite personal dog was that. They get a bad rap because.of the idiots that chain them up and beat them. My dog gets spooked by a bug. Poor thing.
So, I cannot leave him. Maybe God sent him to me to keep me alive?
Guess its working. If I died, no one would love him like I do. Or take care of him the way I do. He loves his mommas cooking. ;)
I am the type person who would never hurt another soul. Only mine.
Ever see that movie with Denzel Washington, where he is a little.girls protector in mexico? The one where they say..the bullet never lies? That has happened to me. Got a dimple in the primer. off But it never went off. Dam primer... and there were a few other times...with other things. Like a needle. You know, like they say in the movies, you shoot air into your vein and you die? Lol.. that didn't work either. The area just puffed up like a donut..air in there. Kinda funny looking too.
But....I haven't tried anything in awhile. It probably wouldn't work anyways.
But now I have my dog. I don't have to go to hell. Because.I pretty much LIVE in hell.
I tell them that. But they don't care.
That's why I want to start my own business. So I can earn money to get out of this place!
But...I don't have enough faith that I can earn anything. My dad said id be a starving artist. Thanks dad.
You can look at my photos. There is some of my art. And my loving.dog I have now.
I don't have a bank account even after the last 7 years. He took me off it. Hes a control freak. And I have no place to go. Women shelters here only.let.you stay 30 days. And they don't allow.my.dog.
SOOOOOooo... I just.stay here and clean everyday.
I have no private time or any money to buy myself a cheap something...anything.
The.pressure is so great..but I try to deal with it the best I can.
Sleeping.is one of my hobbies now. LOL. Funny eh?
Ok, enough of my rant.
Just saying, sometimes suicide don't work. Weird....
L.
struggle. I have lost 2 brothers to suicide and have struggled with my own depression and suicidal thoughts. I understand how overwhelming both can be. I will be praying for you and your friend's family. Feel free to reach out to me at any point for support or advice.
Yes, this was a sign for you and your daughter!
Stay strong.....something good will come...and it can't come if you are not here to receive it.
My thoughts are with you.
