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.

Well, I have the guts to show my face again.
But
I have some apologising to do, and I just want to clear the air a bit.
This is less for the benefit of me, as I have realised the damage I have caused, but more for the benefit of your trust in others.
So if I explain the reasons for my actions it will make you feel safer, and make me look foolish so its ok.
Recklessly at the time I thought no one would care and just think I am seeking attention after my crazy announcement.
And recklessly at the time I believed that it wouldnt make people second guess their trust in each other, but of course it did.
And the decision to have my account terminated was to sabotage my life, my past, what people know about me, and ultimately use it as a form of punishment to myself.
And yes it was because of shame, but as I have said this isnt to make me look good, or get the desired effect (a.k.a people noticing someones behaviour). I am genuinely sorry for what I have done, I never lied about my life, the only thing I have done is ruin the potential friendships on DS.
Dont get me wrong, I knew that part would come, but at that point I didnt care, I have dangerous mood alterations. I thought my life was finished and anything after that didnt matter, but I will note that I read the responses to my behaviour (which surprised me) and I actually felt awful. Just because I ruin my own life, and am more messed up than I take for granted, doesnt mean I have to knock the balance for everyone else.
Im not asking for forgiveness. But I want you to know that there are people you can trust in this world, so if you felt a bit uneasy by it all, this is the truth. There is no way on earth I could have had the imagination to write in the communities like I did, and lie. That would be, excuse my language.
Bollocks.
So if I dont see you around, least I have said my peace. And I am open to any responses, even ones which I may not favour, but what needs to be said should be said.
This wasnt a ploy to get noticed, I just have issues OK.
Take care of yourselves,
Bryony

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...
