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.
how do you deal with depression.. Its really hard dealing with it. When you are having family problems. no one in your family don't understand what you are going through.my mom and dad say why do you go to doctor for you depression.. they are not helping you. I been going through depression for 11 years now. I worry about my family. My mom and dad are not in good health at all.
i find distraction to be a good tool to use... just make sure you dont distract away from too much... physical activity is another good one, if you can... i try to walk a lot whenever i can
theres a few groups here about being a caretaker, if you are... and 'caring for aging parents' too... look around, youd be surprised how much support there is around here

The considered connecting with even close relatives and companions can appear to be overpowering. You may feel embarrassed, excessively depleted, making it impossible to talk, or liable for ignoring the relationship. Advise yourself that this is the discouragement talking. Connecting is not an indication of shortcoming and it won't mean you're a weight to others. Your friends and family think about you and need to offer assistance. Also, recall that, its never past the point where it is possible to assemble new companionships and enhance your bolster system
