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.
In 25 days, it will have been a year from my deployment. A year since I took that big leap into the armed forces. And in a matter of weeks, let my entire family down. I could have made a difference in my own life. Now I'm stuck back here. In school again. I should have finished. I should never have left in the first place. Why am I such a huge fuck up?
22 is still very young. That year in the armed forces will have given you some very good experiences that will, in ways foreseen and unforeseen, help you as you finish your education.
You are not a fuck up. Now those dudes who planted the bombs in Boston, they were each a fuck up.
You lost a year, but you still have time to make up for it. It was an experience that may have helped you grow and learn something about yourself. Also, your family should be proud that you're back in school!
That really shows a lot of character and bravery for joining. Unfortunately, depression holds people back from doing things they want to.
Try not to worry about what others think if you. Work on what bothers u about yourself.
I responded to ur post bcz I walked out of a great job after only a week, bcz I didn't have the confidence, my mess were screwed up. I couldn't even walk with my head up and had to go into the hospital. I felt i let my children down n I wanted to kill mysel..went into the hospital. I know how you feel and it lightens up, the feeling as time goes on
