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 have been waking up with anxiety and depression- I never want to get out of bed
.
Today is such a gorgeous day so I forced myself to shower and change.
Tonight is a good friend's 40th birthday party and I am already agonizing about it. I drove to the store to buy him something (it took everything I had), then took my dog for a ride at the local park.
I usually feel better if I can force myself out even just for a drive. NOTHING is helping. I am angry at the people enjoying the beautiful day, when all I want to do is cry.
This sounds crazy, but do ever WISH it would rain, so you don't feel the guilt of not "having" to go out? I always get from people, "it's such a beautiful day! Why are you not outside?"
I have exhausted all of my "tricks" to ease out of the depression. I so want to be there for my friend's party, but between the depression and all of the weight I have gained, I am just miserable. I know people are going to be saying- geez, she gained so much weight (as I have not seen these people for a long time). But even to to get past that, I don't think I can even bring myself to go. I know I will feel horrible about it if I don't attend.
Depression is taking over my life. I was doing well for a while, but the demon is back with a vengeance. I just want to enjoy life like everyone else.

A Mom? A Dad? A sister? A friend? It helps me.
Hang in there. This will pass and you will enjoy life again I promise.
