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 do all the things I'm supposed to do. I see a counselor. I take my Effexor. And I manage my occational blues pretty well. But every so often I can't shake the feeling that I'm slipping into a depression. I'm aware and I can't stop it! It stinks! It's disheartening to think I'm going to have to take medication the rest of my life and still have these episodes.

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...
Question for you (sorry if its too personal or whatever) but does the fact that you are not out of the closet to people in your life matter to you? I'm straight but if I felt I had to hide my sexual orientation, I'd be frustrated and disheartened as well. My bro is gay and never really started to enjoy life until he came out of the closet in his early 40's. Just a thought, and good luck!
When I admitted that here(DS) and to my hubby, such a weight was lifted off of my shoulders, really. I can talk openly, here to others and to my supportive hubby. Of course no one else needs to know, friends, kids etc, that is not repression, but self-preservaton LOL. I also joined a "local" ladies bi group who eventually meets in person, although I haven't got to that step yet.
