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.
Okay, so this whole thing is new to me. I have never been one into the whole "online therapy" but, I feel this is my only option.
I was married on September 1st, to an amazing man, he truly cherishes me and treats me amazingly well. I should be the happiest women alive and yet, I have never been more overwelmingly sad in my entire life. ITs to the point where I dont want to get out of bed, I feel like crying at the drop of a dime. I have been drinking more then I ever have.... I"m just genuinely not happy and am trying to take my attention off of my unhappiness by consuming alchohol... i know this.. and I do it anyway...
I have moved from New Jersey, where I have lived my entire life, where my whole family was no more then 10 minutes away to San Antonio Texas, and while his entire family is here, I dont have a single person that I feel I can talk to ... really truly talk to....
I mean how can i tell his family that I'm completely miserable and hate my life..... things are great when my husband is home, I feel loved and happpy but as soon as he walks out the door I feel completely alone and it is not a feeling I like.
I am used to having friends, companiions and people to call at any given time to go hang out and be with.....
I HATE BEING ALONE .... and having no choice but to post my deepest feelings and thoughts on an online chat board.....

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...
My fella works shifts and all funny hours so I am alone a lot. And sometimes it gets to me so i come here.
I know it amy feel silly but there really are some great people here x
i have to admit, im new to this too, and like you, its a last resort before i go mad. perhaps you could join a eve class so that you meet other people, just a thought. im here if you need to chat. take care xx
I feel alone sometimes even with my husband around. He does so much for me and tries to understand but I feel he is losing patience. There are many of us here that find ourselves with only cyberfriends. For me, it beats a blank. I have only one real friend in another town who won't come up my dirt road since she got herself a fancy new car. But she always invites me there and tries her best to understand my condition. I am also connected to the community thru the aids agency which helps. I am living in a place, though I loved it when we moved here, that is so isolated and for me to go get anything from the stores and esp the drug store takes a half hour. So I understand the isolation and haven't made quite the leap to adjusting to it and making friends. So I come here and go to
a chat room. Being here has helped me stop smoking too. My depression is improving. I am grateful for DS and the people who support me here.
Things others have suggested:a job, volunteer work, a class(or more) at a state college.And, a reminder: you have not lived there long at all, though it may feel it.The more you make yourself a part of your community, the sooner you will be recognized and befriended within it.
