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 have had depression since 7 years old. I do understand but I am learning many tricks on how to deal with it. I have bi-polar, environmental and clinical depression so I reach the entire gamut. I don't take any medications for it, I just learn new coping skills. Have I perfected them? Oh hell no, but I'm a work in progress. And let me be really upfront here. You are NOT inadequate and don't ever let anyone tell you different. Whatever you fight, you strengthen and what you resist, persists.
If you can, get the book called "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns. It may help you a lot more than you realize. Let me know if you ever need to talk. Gramybear
