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.
Hi I am new here. I am dealing with a lot right now . My mother disowned me January. even though I come from a very dysfunctional family. I miss having a extended family.It makes me sad.. I know I'm not the only one in this situation but sometimes I feel this way. I have tried very hard to have a positive relationship with my mother. She doesn't want me in her life.
I miss getting to gather with her and my sister. My sister won't have anything to do with me or my son. It is like they have termed up against us. Thankfully I don' t live near them. I Everyone seems busy with their families. It is hard when you don't have any extended family. My husband and I are having a lot of serious health problems as well. My depression is worst lately because unable to exercise. I am unable to get our like I used to and that isn't helping the depression. I am glad I found this group. It is nice to there is place to come to get support.

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.
Look into it.
Write down what you see.
Look again.
Write down what you want to BE.
Go BE that.
You don't need you Mother or your Sister. What you saw in the mirror and what you Want to Be is ALL YOU NEED.
I PROMISE!
Welcome!

Welcome to DS! Lots of good people here, and we really understand what it means to be depressed. Depression hits all of us differently. No two of us has the same triggers, moods, issues, causes, etc. But when broken down into smaller issues, etc, you will find that a lot of people can identify with parts of your journey.
Gentle hugs
Welcome to our family,I say family because that is what the people in this group have become to me.Depression is a soul destroying affliction,it is an "unseen" illness,and there are no outwardly visible signs that a person is suffering.If you break a leg,you have a cast on for example,people can "see" evidence of your reason for being ill.With depression,it is invisible to people and,with it's invisibility,comes a lack of understanding,if they can't see your ill,you can't be ill,know what I mean?. You've done the right thing in coming here,have a blessed day friend,
