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'm sick. i'm sick of myself. i'm sick of putting other people's emotions before my own. i feel like if i was a match i would be almost burnt into nothing but ash. i'm at my end. my breaking point. today was my birthday and i felt absolutely nothing. i thought of how selfish i was for not being grateful to my parents on my birthday but i simply couldn't be. i have therapy tomorrow and my mother said "well that should help" but she doesn't understand that you don't just go 4 times and you're cured! i guess i have just lost patience and i've never thought so much about death. someone once asked me "what's stopping you from dying" and the truth is, i don't have an answer.
I want to pull some awesome wisdom out and lay it down for you but, I don't. Have any.
Love yourself!!!!!! Put yourself First!!
One way to stop it is to tell a person that "I am sorry, but I'm feeling rather low here lately and I need to focus on more up-beat things. If you would like to do SRF with me that would be great." "SRF" stands for Something Really Fun, make it what ever you would really like to do. Then watch how they react. If they go for it, then they may be salvageable. But if they back way off then they likely only see you as a person to lean on, and never a person they would help build back up.
