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'd appreciate your feedback on an issue I'm having with my neighbour....
I haven't known her long, and as she is quite narcassistic, she thinks the world revoles around her and her problems. I have been able to offer my support to her a lot recently. Now though, she can't see that I need her support too. Instead of talking to and supporting me, she is letting others know that I need support, and giving the impression she is being very supportive. Its like she needs others to think she is being helpful, but she's not, and its all about her feeling good about herself for being seen by others as a 'caring' person. I've tried talking about this with her, but she just doesn't see where I am coming from, and automatically thinks I am criticising her. It feels like a no win situation, but as she lives next door to me, we are going to have to get along somehow...
Any advice on what I can do?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Thanks again for the advice, it helps me put it in context
