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.
hey, so I haven’t posted for a while.
life has been pretty hectic... massive ups...
massive crashes back down.
i feel guilty for being depressed. I got engaged on Sunday and in terms of my relationship with him, I’ve never been happier so far... cloud nine whenever I think about it but everything else is still there....
Don’t get me wrong o never expected to just suddenly vanish, but a ‘friend’ told me that I “need to get over my depression now, and all my other mental health issues because I’m lucky to have him”
yes, I am lucky to have him, and yes, he deserves the best of me, but he knows the worst of me and those feelings stem back 15 years before we even Met.
Why are people still so ignorant, and why does my mind insist on making me believe that I am in the wrong for being ill x
You cannot not control others options about anything. You can only control yours. Your relationship and engagement is with him and not the friend.
Try and let go of what your friend has said, do not take what they said personally. How you and your fiancé handle your depression is between the two of you.
Congratulations and best wishes.
I told my hubby when we got engaged, take a look at this lady in the photo. This is my Norwegian fat Granma. I will turn out like her, not like the other skinny grandma that my sisters take after. I will never be thin, ever. I can try but it ain’t gonna happen. If you can live with that fine.
Now, I have a 5 year old child, I will put my child first always unless we marry and you adopt. But you dont have to adopt, in fact if you dont l Ike kids we need to end this now....
Then after marriage it was i am officially depressed and I am losing my hearing. Theres nothing I can do for the hearing loss but I can take depression drugs...are you fine with that? This is a big deal to have for the rest of our lives...
When we dated I’d cry thinking. The exact same thing, he’s a saint to date me, he’s gonna leave when he finds a skinny gal and finally my dad said you are lucky he married you to which I then replied a little louder than I thought I said it in front of everyone in the family...He’s damn lucky I married him! I am a hellava a woman and he knows it...nuff said. No one said I was lucky ever again!
You are not a burden, why would you say that? You are talking yourself down and for what reason? Cuz you are afraid? What’s the worst that can happen? And so what?
If it comes true than move on through it cuz you are worth it!
