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 anxiety and depression and I have periods where I'm fine but lately if I'm not in anxiety mode I'm severely depressed. Im talking can't get out of bed, considering the different ways to commit suicide depressed. Sometimes the only thing that stops me from doing it is the thought of my husband finding my body or how much it would hurt my family. That's the thing, I know I'm fortunate to have an understanding husband and parents and siblings that love me but i STILL feel completely alone and worthless sometimes. I have crippling panic attacks for no apparent reason or for absolutely ridiculous reasons. I am 4 years into marriage and am feeling the pressure to have a child but the idea absolutely terrifies me. I don't want a child. I can't subject a child to my anxiety. Just the thought of being pregnant sickens me. Then I have fears that what if my husband leaves me because I refuse to have kids. And if I don't want kids then what is the point of my life? I was fired from my job 5 months ago. I was back stabbed by my best friend/coworker and thrown under the bus. Ever since then I've felt worthless. Like there's no point in my life, no reason to go on. I feel like I am a burden to those around me. I just want to feel normal.
Are you on any medication for depression/anxiety? If not, I suggest you see a doctor. That doesn't mean you will be on meds for the rest of your life, but if anything temporary help to get through the rough spots.
I once had a boyfriend for 4 + yrs. Come to fin out he was sending me out to look at houses that he said he wanted to buy, all the while he was screwing a good friend of mine while I was out house hunting.
He had no intentions on buying a house, It was just his way of having me occupied for the afternoon. This same girl went after my ex husband but we were still together. I just had to ask her if she liked my sloppy seconds. lol
Try to be strong and if you need more from me just send a friend request. I'm a good listener and great at giving healthy advice. Just wish I could listen to my own advice.
