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 have been this depressed in over three years. I cannot talk to my husband because the last time I got this bad off he really put in overtime to help. it is not fair to put him through that again. I have a new job and dont have established friends here that I can talk to. Cant tell my mom and brother - they will make too big of a deal of it and worry me to death. I took night classes for the last two years but just graduated - all my friends from school - now gone. I feel so alone and have to act like nothing is wrong. it really sux. i am glad i can let a bit of it out on here.

Well it's always good to talk to someone. Is there something really stressful that has happened? You should either be on meds or see a counselor. I know the other spouse does get the brunt of it. But that's what the vows are for I guess. I'm there too, and feel really bad for my husband cause it's not fair for him.

Leaving the umbrella of school is scary. You just don't know what to do with yourself but you will in time. My lowest period was the few months after graduating. Just come here and tell us what you are you going through and things will get clearer.
