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 really like this site for its immediacy and truthfulness...one need not hide ones feelings and concerns and ,,,,,that is good and very helpful,,,
I sink quite easily into feel horrible on occcasion and it take a masive amount of energy and support to put me out of this ,,,,I try and seek happiness where I can find it...it is elusive much of the time and this frustrates me ,,,I have been listening to a lot of self help audios on depression and anxiety,,thank God for the internet and sites like this ,,(this is beginning to sound like a commericial)...
I lost my job a couple of weeks ago,,and have no girlfriend to speak of ,,,I met several people in support in 12 step groups and that has been somewhat helpful,,,I have become friendly with a lady in a meet from Peru.. but she is shy and tends to run away,,,we are very early in this relationship...maybe she anticipates me need and is scared ( of what I am not sure ),,,she seems nice enough,,wanted her to call me,,,she didn't ...I saw her today and again asked her to call me over the weekend,,,we'll see...but I cannot live on her whim and it is silly for me to expect myself to,
However the frustration is therre none-the-less,,,
Relationships at any level are so so so difficult and I am so poor at working them...

I'm happy to hear that you are looking for help in different ways.
The fact that you are "seeking happiness" is wonderful.
I'm sorry you lost your job, but hopefully something else will come your way.
Relationships are difficult. Don't give up
