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 also find when I cannot sleep because my head is racing with all of these horrible ideas or situations my imagination runs away with, turn on the tv to something mindless and funny. A sit com or a child's cartoon. It won't cheer you up, but it shouldn't aggravate you either. And then the numbness of the show sets in and you can relax enough to drift off, even if only for a couple hours.
Good luck. And don't cut yourself. It isn't worth it. The time spent at the hospital is worse than the time spent alone in your room. We might be strangers to you. Doesn't mean we don't care. Take that caring of everyone who has responded and know you are worthwhile.
I’m addicted to anger and my depression deepened so badly that I started having one to two episodes per month which scared me because I dont want to be hauled into the office where I live.
