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 haven’t been on DS as much as I would like or even as much as I need to be. Things have been up and down left and right these past few months. But I’m still here keeping up the fight. I can honestly say that coming here has saved me. I can be myself whether I’m happy or sad and that I know I’m not alone, that there’s others like me out there. I wish non of us had to be in situations that we need a place like this but since that’s the world we live in I’m glad we have a place to commiserate LOL... I can come here ready to give up and see someone that needs a kind word or some help and that makes me feel better. Being able to help, not that someone else is feeling like I am. Again I wish there was no need for places like this. So to all who have reached out to me thank you so much and to all those who I have reached out to, keep on going. And remember sometimes just saying a kind word to someone can brighten your day. Things may seem bleak now but better days are ahead.
Take care.
I am so happy to hear that you have found a place where you feel safe and can express your feelings. There is nothing like having the ability to share your concerns without having a fear of rejection or feeling judged because of either your actions or your thoughts. I think we all want a safe place to talk over our troubles. I hope you have a good friend or family member that you can lean on, too, outside of the social media.
Over the years, I have found my refuge and a great hiding place through prayer. It is now the first place I go with my problems. It takes a lot of faith for me to just place my troubles with the Lord and try not to pick them back up again. It was always easier for me to try and solve them with my friends, or family. I’m trying more and more to put my faith into action.
Do you have a prayer partner? I have a great friend that I can call on for prayer and I really appreciate that friendship. I’ve also found that being involved at church through Bible study or attending weekly services helps make me feel so much better. Do you attend a local church? You are so right--you are not alone! I am sure thinking of you today and hoping that your day was a happy one.
we drift away for spurts at a time , it is always here with a warm welcome
