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 had a friend years ago lie to me and later this person came and apologized and felt just awful for having lied to me. But the lie was done out of the purest motives of love and for my protection for she thought the truth would have left me hurt and she did not want me to suffer. She lied to me out of her love for me. I gave her a hug and thanked her for caring enough about me to want to protect me from pain.
People that lie to hurt or only for self-gain can go take a flying leap for all I care and I don't think of them beyond that.

WHY? I am not sure. I think some lie to make themselves look better than they are. I think some lie to get what they want, and then, I think others lie because they know no other way.
My mother used to tell me.."you always get caught in a lie". She's right. Lying sucks.
