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.
I don't really have much to say, it's just... I don't know. I moved to a new city far away from home -- and I feel like I don't have anyone or anything that cares about me. I managed to make a few friends but it's like I feel like I infiltrated thier friend group and they'd be better off without me.
Just other things. I'm lonely and having bad thoughts again.
I'm just sad

There are people who cares about you. I met a lot strangers at schools, clubs , parties and work. Places you will not think someone will care, like the phone sex operator.They care. Some people will cares. It is just your depressive mood. I am sure some people will care here at DS. Join some groups or clubs. A church group is good. There are nice people there.

I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only. It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals. I have been wanting a new dress. I like dressing up sometimes. My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant. But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again. I went through this in the fall. I bought...

Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
