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.

Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower. My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings". When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker. She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me. I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...

My husband and I got our foster license last month, after 3 years of hard work (we had to start over multiple times due to family dramas and Mom's open heart surgery). We spent a year preparing the whole house, guest rooms, and children's bathroom for older kids of 7 yr old and up. Then we got a call that we have been approved to receive twin newborn premies. What, what?!! Babies!? Premies?!...
I too get lonely and used to drink A LOT. But I wasn't an alcoholic. Alcoholics go to meetings and drunks go to partys. Been in AA for 8 years and guess what. I am still lonely. But I am not alone I Pray & try to meditiate everyday the best I can. I will pray for you...
ps you are the first message I sent.. I may not be here for a long time I don't know. That is one of the issues I have is that I don't know. And then the fear sets in. I have to get out of my own head a lot lately And I try to do that without drugs and alcohol. But it has been said that I don't have to know some things I just have to accept what is. Its tough but I keep trying. God Bless
It sounds like you had a serious slip. Can you talk to your prescribing physician about your use of the Adderal as well as the cutting? You could definitely use some support right now and maybe your Dr could refer you to a clinic or support groups that deal with self harm and substance abuse. It may also be time to consider a stay inpatient so you can get stabilized.
Know that you are not alone, and that you are not ugly. Cuts heal, and your beauty comes from the inside.
Please reach out for help and keep us posted.
