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 was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 today. And half my reaction was "okay, how do I manage it?" and the other half being thrilled, because my lifespan has a certain closer end, regardless of what I do, and maybe even faster if I do the opposite of what I'm supposed to.
I want out.
I want out.
A friend I knew through work didn't control his diabetes. He ended up having a stroke. He can't work and he lost his pilots license. The moral of this is you may not end up completely gone. You very well could end up permanently disabled. That would leave you both disabled and dealing with depression. You could be in such a diminished state that someone else would have to make your decisions for you.
Sometimes there is a half way state between life and death that is hell not just for you but for other people as well. I doubt very seriously any of this scares you. I really don't want to scare anyone I just wanted you to know you can be worse off and still alive. I hope you find peace and I hope your health improves. You deserve to know a life with less pain. All my best to you.
