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.
this place is so dark! I feel drained and hopeless… I sit in my room, lock the door and cry very silently so nobody hears because when I do express myself people either think I'm overeating or unappreciative. Its not even like that… just because I have what someone wish they had doesn't mean I should be the happiest person in the world. Its not fair that I can't feel a certain way I can't control. I wish I could, God I really do, but I can't. I try, but don't succeed. I swear I try! I try to stay positive, keep myself busy and even focus on other things, but it doesn't work. Why would I chose this? If this was done on purpose why do I write my thoughts on a site under a fake name to complete strangers? If this was done for attention why don't anyone know I cut myself because I hate myself? Its not a faze I promise. Its real and its depressing… I feel bad for anyone going through depression I really do because the feeling of hopelessness is terrible and sometimes its just to hard to hide. My mental state is uncontrollable. I wish I got help in the beginning, but society takes depression as a joke. Only time I'm happy is when I'm asleep… once again… thanks for listening. Xo
It took me a while to finally be free of how people were treating me. I had to realize my negative voices and people will stop you from living the wonderful truly amazing life your suppose to live if you let them.

Verse 12: "again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.". I too struggle with depression and other issues, for now. God has heal some of my troubles. And I trust Him with everything. God bless you.
Probably true to some degree, ... but only the ignorant part of Society. The informed do not, and there are many who SUPPORT recovery ..... most in the medical field.
