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.
Today has been a rough day for me. I was able to go out and eat at a hot pot today but the moment I stopped eating I started feeling depressed. It is normal for me to want to eat a lot. I am not overweight, but it is a habit that when I am in a bad mood I eat. I was full, so I could not really eat away my problems. It is just one of those days where feeling hopeful is almost impossible...knowing that one day I will die and life will move on. I am also on my laptop all day to distract myself, which lately has not worked. I am going to a community college next week but until then I am at home with nothing to think about but depression. You can find what made me depressed in the first place here. Most of my friends are out of town, so I don't meet them face to face.
Oh, and here's a quote from a psalm I like: "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. I would flee far away and stay in the desert; I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and the storm."
Hope you'll have a great day and talk soon!
Some days are just harder which I can understand. I have been through situations that are somewhat similar like yours. At that moment, I didn't think I'll be able to recover from all the heartaches but it will. It might take longer than you expected but you can get out of it. One step at a time, taking baby steps each time.
Glad that you are having a better day. Keep writing. We are here to support one another.
PS: I love hotpot too. One of my comfort food on bad days. God bless!
