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.
Today when my fiancee came home from work. I cuddled up to him, and told him everything I had felt today. He understood! Instead of lecturing me on how I shouldn't be sad, or trying to talk me into feeling better... he let me cuddle on him, and pulled me closer. Is it just me or can love break a spell of depression? Can spilling your heart out actually work to fix sadness?

It sure can, at least for the moment. A few well placed words can crush a heart, or heal it.

Perhaps you don't have depression, just need to feel wanted and love. Don't get the two two confused.

It is a sign that you are gaining strength and courage. You can heal together. but you have to be open with each other. Depression is a disease that has to be treated. But you can make the choice to deal with it the best way you can. you don't have to be in the dark all the time. Your fiance will understand because we all have good days and bad.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
