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 think this may be my first post here. I haven't been on here a while and wanted to see if this may help with my depression.
I seem to swing back and forth from depression to anxiety. The last few weeks I have been in a deep depression trigger by the one year mark of suddenly losing my Aunt (custodial mother) to a stroke/brain hemorrhage.
On 10/12/1012 I woke up to my Aunt in a coma and it was very traumatic. She was on life support for a day until the family and I decided to take her off, because she wasn't going to come out of the coma. She had a "massive" brain hemorrhage in her brain stem.
At first I didn't realize that this was what slipped me into depression. It's weird, I'm in denial about it sometimes.
Well I actually had been doing pretty well for the last year. Despite my biological mother trying to torment me out of her selfishness and alcoholism.
I eventually blocked her number. I was close with her before my Aunt passed, but she has major issues that affect me very bad.
So in a way, I lost two moms I feel.
I have a blog, you can read my entries if you want to know the extent and how I've been feeling.

I could just use some help right now because I feel that this is the hardest bout of depression I have had to control. Thank you all!

I'm new to the site and though I cannot imagine the way that you are feeling right now, I can definitely empathize with you and I understand feeling anxiety and depression. I'm here if you need a friend. I am praying for you regardless and want you to know that you are VERY courageous for stepping away from your biological mother if she is toxic for you! I struggle with being too much of a "people pleaser" and the you stepping back to put your own needs first is necessary at times, especially with a matter like this. I commend you and as I said I am praying for you. Take care of YOURSELF!
