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.
Hi all. Normally i suffer from anxiety, but today i cant stop crying. My life is a mess and to top the lot one of my friends has abandoned me. Thought i was feeling much better and then 'wham' it hits me again.
If anyone has anything positive to say, maybe a joke or anything just to make me smile again. Cant stand this pain inside. Feels like all the crap in my life has hit me overnight. Guess ive been wearing that all too familiar old mask for the last couple of weeks and just been kidding myself that 'i will be fine', i dunno.

A little while later Johnnys dad hears a commotion coming from johnnys room. He rushes in & is horrified to see Johnny s****ing his gran...
Johnny just looks at him & says "not so f***ing funny when it's your mom is it!"
Do we continue to get involved in relationships with people who emotionally reject us?
Do we let ourselves be used as a doormat for others in the hope that they will love us and approve of us? Or do we surround ourselves with relationships who encourage us tell us we are worth while, special and remind of us of our beauty, never criticizes us and be there when we need them?
Or do we surround ourselves unconsciously with relationships with people that we feel comfortable and familiar with? When we are troubled and confused, we are attracted to troubled, disturbed, confused personalities.
Relationships are complicated because people are complicated. We each have our own ideas, values and hopes and they cant always be the same as the ones we love.
Whether we accept or turn down a request, agree or disagree with someones point of view, we can still treat the other person with respect and curtsey. I can say, No gently and lovingly as we can say,Yes
We used to think living meant surviving from Crisis to Crisis we will continues this as adults because it was the only way we knew. When we do not know how to respond to a situation to day why not try responding with kindness and that is what we should receive back.
The company we keep rubs of on us and we on them. We influence each others thoughts and behaviours through a cycle of interactions.
Breaking our attraction to unhealthy relationships begins with our own self-acceptance and self-love. We break the cycle by choosing people that have the same personalities like self-acceptance, self-love and confidence remember it rubs of both ways.
We need to avoid those that put us down and treats us with no respect, no love and that attempts to keep us down and detract from our personal healing, and we keep the company of affirming people that will nurture and encourage us to be our best and see we have a true value and who helps us grow and fulfill or potential and dreams.
We find ourselves surrounded by people who love and care for themselves and who mirror our own inner beauty and self worth we are more likely to mirror the same.
My boyfriend said something yesterday that still has me smiling. He said, "What does occasional furniture do when it's not furniture?"
He also said, "What do you do if a bird craps on your windscreen?
Don't ask her out again."
I can't think of anything else funny right now.
Please do look after yourself and keep yourself safe. You matter, and it's good to have you here in our ds family.
