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.
Depression is a daily thing for me. I am on meds for it but it still rears it's ugly head.
So, every morning I go over my gratitude list. It at least turns my focus on what is right in my life instead of what isn't right.
If that doesn't work, I watch the world news. This always makes me fell privileged to appreciate what I do have instead of what I don't.
I feel so blessed to be in a county that is not into war over who I worship, I am not starving, have clean water to drink and bathe in.....and I am in no means hungry.
I have always been told to enjoy the little moments and to not focus on the big picture Yesterday is gone.......tomorrow is not her\e yet.......so enjoy the little things that life gives us today.
With that in mind, I am still depressed but feel lucky at the same time.
I hope this helps someone.

Do you think anxiety is genetic or comes from your environment? What are your thoughts?

Many of you know Mr K told me to "shut your mouth" in March 2025 when we took a road trip to Alpena Michigan. Since that time, we have had lots of ups and downs but I have never intentionally hurt Mr K in anyway. And when we first started dating in 2024 he let me know, although he is an engineer by degree, he has an extremely low EQ. Overall, he is ok (not off the charts nice like other guys in...
Thank you:-)
Our lives may be a struggle and may not be what we want it to be, but there are plenty of people who would give anything to be in our position if it meant having shelter, running clean water, food, heat, etc.
