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 feel really alone and lonely. My depression and anxiety has been really bad for awhile, and I think it has taken a toll on my b/f. He seems closed up and we rarely talk about anything.
I really am feeling like since sex was such a big part of our relationship and lately I have no interest, it is like everything has bottomed out.
I miss having an emotional attachment to someone.
I feel so lost and sad.
I've been trying lately but it seems to be wasted.
We are back together after a split, and I suspect the first time he had another woman. Now I'm wondering if we are heading down the same road.
I'm starting to feel destructive and thinking about joining online dating sites.
It just seems to add to my depression and bad behaviours. I told pdoc this week I've started purging again. I guess he may put me on topiramate. I've also been thinking about starting smoking again.
I just feel so hopeless with life. I'm just so tired.

Relationships are complicated because people are complicated. We each have our own ideas, values and hopes and they cant always be the same as the ones we love.
Whether we accept or turn down a request, agree or disagree with someones point of view, we can still treat the other person with respect and curtsey. We can say, no gently as lovingly as we can say yes we do not need every disagreement to be confrontational.
We used to think living meant surviving from crisis to crisis we will continues this as adults because it was the only way we know. When we do not know how to respond to a situation to day, why not try responding with kindness and that is what we should receive back, when we give respect usually we will receive respect in return.
The friends we keep rubs of on us and we on them. We influence each others thoughts and behaviors through a cycle of interactions.
Breaking our attraction to unhealthy relationships begins with our own self-acceptance and self-love. We break the cycle by choosing people that have the same personalities. Like self-acceptance, self-love and confidence remember it rubs of both ways.
We need to avoid those that put us down and treats us with no respect, no love and that attempts to keep us down and detract from our personal healing, and we keep the company of affirming people that will nurture and encourage us to be our best and see we have a true value and who helps us grow.
If we find ourselves surrounded by people who love and care for themselves and have self worth we are more likely to be the same way remember it rubs off on us.
You are so full of knowledge. You really need to write a book!
It is true about unhealthy relationships.
