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.

Razor by Foo Fighters will lead me into cutting.
And Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult is down right dangerous for me to listen to.
I try to snap myself out of it eventually and listen to the happier music; Songs that remind me it's ok to fall down as long as I get back up again. Songs that remind me that I'm human too. Or just fun songs with upbeats that can lift my mood.
Pharrell Williams' song "Happy" has the ability to pep me up no matter what. It's weird: http://youtu.be/y6Sxv-sUYtM
"Down In a Hole" by Alice in Chains is the song which resonates with how I usually feel, especially the live version where Layne Staley's voice sounds like it is about to give out. It can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsucxjYnlTA
I take it as a song about how a sensitive artistic type uses heroin to deal with the heartbreaks and disappointments in life. My drug of choice and figurative womb is alcohol.
My depression is situational and the lyrics, "I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied," pretty much sum up what I have been dealing with for years. No matter what I do, including earning a master's degree, I can't overcome my situation to ascend to a lesser circle of hell. I realize the American Dream is dead for me and the proceeding generations.
As of late, things have gotten worse for me and I am descending into a greater circle of hell. Pretty much every lyric in that song encompasses a facet of how I feel. I often use its title as my status.
Then I got on meds and now I can't stand to listen to any music at all.
Music really makes me upset now.
