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.
They say you are as sick as your secrets.
That is probably true. Here I go-------all three are true.
1. I am a medical doctor
2. I am a psychiatrist
3. I have a mental illness

No one is without something negative. The important thing is to exploit your qualities, and treat your short comings.
It is not so much what we 'have' but what we do with it.
Your secrets are safe here, you can share what is going on with you, how you are feeling, what is bothering you...any of it, all of it...
We don't discriminate against others, we invite, we say share, talk, no need for denial, hiding what ails you, where you hail from, amount of education or lack thereof, who you are...this is a healing place, an information sharing and gathering place...a supportive place....
I can appreciate that you are slowly testing the waters, feel shy...but you can use the privacy of your own space to write from...no deluge of people here like at some crazy ballpark arena, no paparazzi...with a hundred light bulbs flashing as you enter the red carpet at DS...it is a place of peaceful, supportive, idea exchanging, etc. etc, etc. and all that jazz. kind of place...
All of a sudden I have an over the top need for pizza...dude!
Take your shoes off, relax and talk...
Good job. Well, I got more than three, and some will surely be covered in dirt when I am, but you've inspired me. Let me think ......................
1.) I don't have a single original thought in my head.
2.) I don't always practice what I preach.
3.) I am addicted to pain meds.

I had two very legitimate chances to model in New York and LA and turned both down (years apart) because of fear, self-doubt, and my phobia.
They might have gone nowhere, but I would have had the experience, and now I never will.
That's my secret.
I almost majored in psychology in college. After speaking to a few psych majors, I decided I was too normal. *lol*
Glad we can be here as a support for you, gramps.
