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 lost my counselor. It is hard to make adjustments, especially because the reason that I had the counselor was because I have a really hard time with bullies. I've had problems with physical abuse done toward me by family members. I had quit talking completely with my brother.
He really really scares me.
Something about having gone to my counselor's group gave me the strength and the ability to be able to get rid of him and keep him away. My dad used to hit me too.
This is in the past, however, I hate visiting. Seems like they are trying to force a relationship back with me. My brother was offering to take me out to dinner and pay. I wanted to vomit.
It is hard to get away, mainly because of financial reasons.
Just being around him for an hour or so brings on so much depression, I feel literally like I am shaking and mentally disorganized after seeing him.
There is something wrong with him. No one will talk to him and now he is desperately trying to hang out with me and go all the places I am going. He talks about himself excessively. I think he is crazy.
Used to be when I would get really nervous about this I could talk to my counselor and be able to keep him at bay, but seems like without this help whenever I try to resist and stay away, I am just not as good at it.
That's when the screaming starts on his part.
My goal is to quit renting a house from my family, get a better job so I don't need to rent here, maybe move away, and not see them anymore.
Funny thing is that I don't feel depression or problems when they are not in my life. I think I fall back into seeing them mainly out of fear, it's like I am motivated by fear, or demotivated, for lack of a better word.
My mom is trying to force a relationship with him and I
he makes me sick.
What I need to do is find whatever, whomever it is that centers me so that I don't cave in. I also learned that we attract wherever we are at, which I find true, Used to be a lot of men like him were all over me like white on rice.
It has been better, one thing the group worked with me on was not being victimized or acting like one. I admit this is hard.
I am not sure moving will fix it. I moved cross country before, then attracted the same old thing. Yes I think we attract where we are at.
I have to ask myself: how can I replace what I found with my counselor, how do I get that power and energy back?
I also lost respect for him by pulling the rug out from under us and just quitting out of the blue. He had a group going and a practice, and just was up and out one day, like disappeared, after he told us he would always be there. Yeah right.
I talked to someone who is actually licensed, and the person I had was not licensed. The licenced counselor said you can't just up and do that automatically in an instant. I guess a real counselor has some obligations not to suddenly disappear.
He really really scares me.

Since you cannot change someone else, ... best you give up your dependence on them .... so you can AVOID them.
"My goal is to quit renting a house from my family, get a better job so I don't need to rent here .."
Great idea.
", maybe move away"
Can;t run from problems. Moving away MIGHT be helfpul, but is not a solution in and of itself.
", and not see them anymore. "
Great idea.
