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.
It seems to me that lately on this board there is a lot of fighting and arguing and hurt feelings over things that there is really no need to be.
It seems that this time of year is a lot harder on folks than any other because, I think, of cabin fever. The cold weather keeps us from doing things we would ordinarily do when it is warmer and we end up feeling resentful because we are stuck in the house all the time and tend to take it out on the ones that could help us the most.
Not to mention the current financial recession we are ALL in!
I ask that the next time you get your feelings hurt by what someone else has posted to please reread the post, think about the intent of the post and most of all think about how hard it might have been for the poster to open up on a public forum.
Being on the internet makes it hard to interpret what someone is truly thinking and feeling because so many things are missing that would help us to understand like tone and body language.
And finally, if you think someone is posting about you personally, maybe think about why you would feel that way.
Peace, Love and Moon Pies........
side note......the Moon Pies are for Carolina!

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
