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.
Sometimes I get the notion that us depressed people are justified in feeling depressed. I do realize this is a view that is not real positive, by it's very nature. I'm not a real big advocate of a "the hell with it" attitude, though I do suffer with that attitude. The truth is, we are all dealing with a world culture that is, for the most part, out of our hands. We, as individuals, have little, or no control over what is happening in the world. Look at the "Bush administration" as an example.....oh oh...now the FBI will soon be knocking on my door!!! Our collective dependence on oil, coal, etc. is already beginning to haunt each of us BIG TIME. I'm on a roll........I'll stop now before I depress the living crap out of everyone. Last remark; NO WONDER WE ARE ALL DEPRESSED!!!!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
i do worry about world events...but ya can't let them consume u.
the best u can do to have effect on the world..is to do small kindnesses within "your" own world. being kind for kindness' sake, not for reward.
it's kinda like the butterfly effect...
and you may not make a difference to the world as a whole..but people really can change another persons world.
My doctor was telling me they used to say High Blood Pressure was the silent killer but he believes that Depression and stress are the new silent killers.
sometimes i get pretty sad when the kids leave during the holidays. and my mama died Dec. 17th 1999..right here in my home...i can't help but be reminded.
it's much better than it used to be tho....i'm sure it will be for u as well. :)
My dad passed several years ago.
I said good by at the air port
and yet we still did not admit...
His time had come
it was time to go
and yet
I feel sorrow still...
