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.

My middle's Best Friend became her Boy Friend. . .
And Baby started liking her friends more then me.
I have an amazing BF/Fiance and you would think that I would enjoy this new phase in life. I'm adjusting to it now. But its very hard to not be #1 to all of them.
Since then I have started therapy and medication; they are helping but it's not over and some days just totally suck.
My oldest has left home (1st of the year at just a little over 17 1/2)
the Middle's BF is still her BF and BF and they are good kids for teenagers :)
Baby. . . still prefers her friends to me
I also work full time and have 3 dogs.
Besides depression I'm having a huge fight with my weight. I have been physically and emotionally abused in my life; I dont know who my father is. . . lots of "daddy" or lack there of issues that come out in my current relationship. Its stupid but I cant stop it.
WOW that was alot more open then I planned on. I'm really happoy I found this site, alot of the time I read posts to remind myself that it is not just me.
So HII everyone! nice to meet ya :)
