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 know I will be ok. That life will get easier. But what I'm not sure of is if I'll ever be actually HAPPY.....
i will share with you though, that after some years of being on here, and working thru a lot of the painful stuff, feeling the feelings that went with the memories? not all at once, taht's for sure, but slowly working thru stuff - i would get these sorts of breaks from the trauma work. during the time outs, there would time to laugh and time to feel better feelings.
it was so great. i could not believe it. i finally was able to feel other feelings besides just numb or so incredibly sad. so, yes. out the other side of working with a counselor and taking time to care about you and getting to know yourself, all that stuff, there are better times. gentle hugs, Lilly
