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.

Good evening all! Hope you are having a good night....
This "finish my sentence" thread is very important to me, because I
am hoping to see some genuine responses and not just talk....
Finish my sentence.........
"I come to DS because....and I feel this way when I log off DS...."
I come to DS because I believe when talking with a dealing with certain people, I truly feel cared for and it allows me to care for their needs, although sometimes (well a lot here lately) I feel drained and even more depressed when I log off.....There have been so wonderful blessings brought into my life through this site, but there have been some really bad experiences with those who I classify as being "very ill", and I leave the site not so much feeling "beat up" by them, but more so feeling sorry for them. I turn off my computer thinking "My goodness, and I thought my life was bad"...I truly do care about the people on here, because I know we are all suffering from the same illness, depression.
I even care about the ones that throw dirt on me and try to hurt me, I want to reach out to them most because I think that my positive attitude depresses them because they have not found a way to be loving threw their depression.
I wish all of you all the best. Those of you who are leaving, I hope you return for the right reasons. Good luck!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
...usually pretty good because most of the people are great, but sometime I leave with a bad taste in my mouth because of a few hateful people.
I've learned to ignore/not take to heart some of the hatefulness on the posts of late, and to concentrate on those that really want to talk/need support, or enjoy the light hearted/funny threads.
I've met several wonderful people here lately, and I thank them for allowing me into their internet lives.
Logging out of DS I am at peace.
you know, i am glad i joined DS because i have met some nice people. as in life, there are good and evil people. i have learned to press "IGNORE" button, or delete negative remarks. the people who make negative remarks thrive on it, and get their kicks off when someone responds back to them; i am glad i learned this lesson, as it is a good coping skill. lots of love to ya!
