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.
no matter what i do physically, change how i eat, stay
away from negative people, stay positive, i still get mentally depressed every time i see couples together. it could be a reality show on TV, and NO not that garbage about those new jersey jagoffs either. could be walking down the street, seeing ALL of my friends together with someone. even at my birthday party here this past saturday, everything was awesome. i couldnt have asked for a better day. YET, inside i was depressed as hell and did not show it, i didnt want to bring the party down. pretty much everyone that came was either with someone or married to someone. i felt like a 5th wheel. no amount of alcohol or marijuana could take that feeling away. i am trying hard to fight this, and i am sick of feeling this way. do you honestly think that by going to a therapist and taking medicine it will make those thoughts and feelings go away?

All I know is that I feel for you and have been in the same boat. It's not like I want to run 'em down with my jeep or anything lol... but some days it's just like insult on top of injury to be around couples.
Something similar happening atm...
My best bud... I mean we are GREAT friends... the one dude that would always be there and prop me up if I was down... that understood so much about my depression and my last relationship with my ex g/f... that was my one and only most true bro...
is now in a really awesome relationship with a great girl. He deserves it as he is a great guy... big heart, sincere, etc. They are hanging out all the time now... and those times that we used to hang out, laugh, do stuff... are now becoming distant memories.
I should be happy for him... for them... and I am, but DAMN... it sure does hurt to have this void now... with so much that I've already lost.... and to witness yet another happy couple in love. Ugh!
Sorry, OP... didn't mean to hijack. I hope you can figure out the answer to your questions. I really feel for ya.
Again.. not trying to hijack... just that I can really relate.
I don't even want to go most places now by myself.. just too sad when I think about all that could have been. The women that I do meet just don't feel "right". What a contradiction to be so depressed and yet have such high standards lol... meaning, I will likely remain alone.
I strongly support dr assist... but we will never see it in this country.
Really sorry, man. I genuinely hope you can get some solace for your pain.
I never did that to anyone whomwas close to me. Yet i have had that happen many times...women.
I am just gonna say something and fogive me to those who dont like it..
When you tell someone your true feeling like feeling suicidal i have hada reaction of feeling like a criminal.. the so called hospitals treat you like scum on the earth.. so called professionals have criticiszed and treated people like dirt.. yes this is minnesota at its best! So i do understand why the hell people have a hard time finding real help and get real results
But dont give up. Some of us feel your pain but it doesnt make you weak!
I have been there and i understand. Its ok to feel what your feeling but try your best to not let those feelings bring you down. I hope for the best for you!
Hugs!
