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 have major depression, along with ADHD, and I've had my share of relapses. I fear that imay be relapsing again and this is why: I'm not interested in work, I prethink arguments that i going to have, I worry, and i'm just not happy.
My life is pretty busy, being a full time online collge student, plus working 30+ hours a week. I just joined a volunteer group that will allow me to step foward with writing since I will be the Public Affairs Officer. However, i feel this is alot of stress and work that I can't handle right now with everything else. However, If I quite, I will disappoint alot of people and lose this chance as a great stepping stone for my future.
does anyone have any suggestions?

Sometimes you have to step back, evaluate your priorities, and let some things go. I know when I overwork myself I'm no good to me or anyone else.

I agree with girliem9. You can't do everything, so it's important to prioritise. Make a list of what is most important and why......then keep to that. Doing too much will only affect your health and then you won't be able to do anything. Good luck.

you are not superwoman, sweetie, and depression and anxiety and whatever will take over if you have sooo much to do. Could you drop just one thing, or perhaps two? just to make life a little easier - better let some people down than get worse and let everyone down....BIG HUG to you...Cathrynn X

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...
