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 a wonderful girlfriend, when I was planning on killing myself she was the only thing that kept me from doing so. She made me feel important and loved.
But now I’m worried that I’m too clingy to her. I dont want to bother her at all, but she’s just my only reason for living. She’s the only thing that’s been able to really make her happy.

Councelors said you have to be happy with yourself. However, I need touch. I cannot touch myself and feel better.

You are setting yourself up for a whole lot of hurt basing your life and happiness in somebody else. Do some work for yourself. Know everything you need for life and happiness is inside of you. Be happy she’s with you now. Use this as an incentive to grow into yourself and maybe y’all can last the test of time. Best wishes

You are an important worthy person. I know you find happiness with your girlfriend but you will find happiness through life experiences. You will grow into a healthier happy person if you don't depend on someone to bring you happiness.

That is great that you’ve found somebody you enjoy being around. Even better that she makes you happy! I think the only way you can really find out what it is that she is feeling is to ask. Go somewhere quiet and talk. Ask her how she feels? Communication is good. When we have to guess what the other is thinking or feeling, it makes it difficult to maintain a healthy connection. I know my mind starts thinking the worst when I’m trying to guess what my partner’s thoughts are. Another area to consider is finding happiness within yourself. It is beneficial to you and to your girlfriend to bring your own happiness to the relationship. She needs to see and feel this coming from you. There are times when she will need you to be the joyful one. Engage in hobbies and activities that make you happy, things that make you feel good about yourself. Helping others is a great way to gain fulfillment in your heart and mind. Have you ever thought of volunteering? This world is in need of help and there are many organizations in need of people. Anyway, just some ideas for you. I wish you the best in your relationship!!

With what you have been through together already I'm sure she probably understands. But I'd just ask her. Open and honest communication.

I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only. It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals. I have been wanting a new dress. I like dressing up sometimes. My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant. But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again. I went through this in the fall. I bought...

Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
