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.
I am so depressed now and crying and hiding in my room and not eating or barely playing with my pets I love so much. I feel like such a failure with them and my boyfriend earlier did nothing but fight with me now he wants to be nice. I'm supposed to work my retail job tomorrow and Idk if I can cause it's so hard to fake a smile. And the worst is I have been begging for hours. My doctor is out on medical leave and I hate calling the office cause the receptionists are less than friendly and are always telling me about how much I'm already on (implying I shouldn't be asking for more). I am trying to get in with a new clinic but have no appointment yet. I just don't know what to do. With my luck I will lose my job.
The moral - change the parameters to change the response
Take a moment for you but try to go to work, and even if you can't fake a smile, being plesant to people goes a long way
