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.
Can some of you give me some reasons to keep going? Nice things? I cant think of any right now. Im trying to decide between going to the doctors in the morning and asking for advice or more time off work or going to the pharmacy to get more meds to end it all.

Because the world is full of things you haven't seen or done yet. Because you're a lovely person who always helps people out on here and because I'll kick your arse in the afterlife if you do O_O

Go to the docs. There are plenty of reasons. Life is short as it is don't end it sooner. I understand your having a rough time but it will pass.

Because as someone very rightly said... being depressed isnt the real you. It is like a nasty virus that has taken over your body. Its because of it that you are feeeling so crap. So.. dont let something that you are not take over and win :) Its tricking you into all these thoughts. Why do you think laughing is so beneficial? its cos depression dosnt like it and is beaten down by it :)

sounds corny, but did u ever see the movie City Slickers, where Billy Crystal is told by "Curly" to look 4 that 1 thing? that is what's keeping me going, just the 1 thing, my kids coming at christmas. maybe you have just 1 thing, a pet, a friend, an appointment to get a massage or your nails done, a book that you've been wanting to read but haven't got around to?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
