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.
It's really sad when your own family stigmatize you for having depression and anxiety. They make you feel like it's contagious or something. If I had a physical illness I know for fact they would nt treat me like that. It hurts, might as well not have family, especially ignorant family.

I am new to this group. My husband shocked me and filed for divorce after 24 years. I'm lonely and in pain. There is an affair as well which is extremely painful. I feel like I'm not going to make it through this.

I didn't find family helpful at all with regards to being bipolar
A lot of it was just not understanding the illness as it wasn't their experience so I just stopped talking with them about it
It was the best thing for both of us
I hope that you find what's right for you sweetie...xo
