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 appears that my depression is lifting somewhat. First I increased my Vitamin D intake, 2x day. Second I made myself go back to school (Criminal Justice/Human Services) in June, and I have maintained a 4.0 GPA as well as made Presidents List every term. Third, we finally got to move out from where we were living. My grandson and I are no longer in the shadow of the micro-managing influence of a passive/aggressive narcissist. The place we got isn't the best aesthetically, but it doesn't leak, allows our dogs and cat, is in the country, quiet and has 2 stocked ponds where I can fish and relax. It is also marginally closer to most of our doctors and changes my grandsons school district. I am feeling much stronger and more confident and learning even more coping strategies. College has been a blessing and I am enjoying it very much. I home-school my grandson as well and he is maintaining an A/B average. He is home-schooled because he has behavioral issues, which are improving and I expect to see great improvements with the change in environment.
Perhaps checking with your doctor before you take any vitamins and supplements, and I think that the requirements are that a blood level of vitamin D and calcium must be taken before vitamin D supplement can be given. Take care, and best wishes for your studies!
It's always good to remember that depression doesn't last forever...that it does pass, that we are capable of feeling better
