Depressed but tired of being associated with it

Hey, I'm new. I used one of these forums before and it was helpful. I thought I had beat depression, but it looks like depression is beating me. I'm tired of being associated with and I don't think it'll ever go away. So I'm here. Signed up with yet, another forum. Honestly, I don't want to spend the rest of my life talking about how it still hurts inside and how it just will never go away. So anybody who wants to talk about anything other than our issues, I'm down. No offense to anyone who does wants to talk about there issues. Sometimes you have to get it off your chest. Anyways, lets try to make this day enjoyable shall we. Love and happiness.

There are many here that share common interests outside of their affliction as sometimes just having someone to talk to I'd all the help they need. Post on things you like and they'll find you. There is s nice funny room here called laughter is the best medicine and so are freinds where we tell jokes.

Just a few thoughts, depression is a matter of attitude. Yes, being a Christian and looking for positive and "God Moments" I see them all the time.
Don't get me wrong, I am human and depression sticks its ugly head in my life constantly. I deal with, ask for some help, and am quite surprised what gets sent my way,

So, if positivity and God Moments are your thing, let's connect.

Hi there and welcome. Depression is a vicious cycle and it beats me when I realize I've been listening to it. Then I start journaling in my Gratitude journal and realize all the things I have to be thankful for including my depression. Weird? Yup! When I think about some of my darkest days I end up being thankful because they allow me to see just how far I've come. I figure if some of the greatest people of the Bible (David, Job, Jonah) dealt with depression then who am I not to? Even Naomi changed her name to Mara because "God dealt bitterly with her." These are strong reminders that we can overcome.
I know you wanted to NOT talk about depression but I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone and we are here to help support you. Other topics? I'd love to talk about other interests - I love to get outdoors, I have two huge dogs, I love to cook, read, and listen to music.
