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 finally had a breakthrough. I have not been letting myself feel. I block out any hint of the pain inside me from my mom's emotional abuse or from all the self deprecation I do. I try to cover it up...to be strong. Tonight I finally let myself feel some of the pain. I just cried and cried. It felt so good. I hope this can help me to heal. I know the pain will never go away but hopefully it will get easier. Maybe then I can feel truly happy again. The full body happy where its warm from the inside out. All of my pain and despair is getting in the way at the moment. This feels so horrible and so good at the same time. I don't like facing the pain but its a release to let down the wall.

allowing yourself to express how you feel is an amazing start to healing. Allow yourself to cry and laugh and frown. You will end up much better for it in the long run.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
