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.
Something has changed in me. I have been trying to do something every day. Even if it is just 5 minutes. Lately, I get started and I go for hours. I hope this is a good sign. I have been depressed for a long long time due to chronic pain. I'M trying to just keep pushing through it. I really hope this trend continues! Sly
I do the same, and even if I do not keep going for hours each time.
I had to get up early this morning to take my wife to the hospital for a test, then got back home mid-morning and wanted to just sleep for the remainder of the day. But after a nap for a couple of hours, I got back up out of my chair (where I have to sleep because of chronic back pain) to do at least something and ended up only spending about an hour finishing a small project that had been sitting unfinished for over a month.
