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.
Conflicting views are good, and can result in personal growth, but it can be a problem when people take it too personal when someone else does not agree with their point of veiw, and yes, I have been guilty of taking things too personally, if someone says something that offends you, you should approach them with it, but if you are defensive and aggressive, don't expect them to learn from it, or grow. (I'm guilty of the defensive thing too, but I try to learn from my mistakes and grow as a person),

i very seldon post on here because it leads to arguments when not intended. i think if you have a disagreement with someones words than you should message that person and not start an all out war on here. the people that need this board for help are not getting it, or they are to afraid to post their real feeling for fear of being ridiculed. written words can always be taken the wrong way, the expressions are not in them. thank you, gram

There are just some people you should not take personally when they disagree with you, or seem to be attacking you personally, they are not really, that is just how they have learned to be. Not that they can't grow out of it, but when we are on the defensive, we are not thinking about helping others grow, but we think we need to tear someone else down in order to sustain our ???PRIDE???? don't know if that is the right word or not.

I've tried many times to bring the spirits up in the community, but the fighting and bashing always wins out. So be it. I'll put my efforts into supporting others if I can be of help, and keeping my own spirits up. I'll talk a smile anyday over a frown. Kudos to you insom, for learning from your mistakes. Unfortunately, not everyone does.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
