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.

So, things are really just getting bad. Like, out of control bad. I don't even know where to begin. I have continued to not have any success in finding a job, and I have become increasingly aware of the fact that I really can't even handle a job right now with how bad everything is. My anxiety is so bad that when I've gone to the store recently I have been forgetting like half of the things I'm there to get because I am so anxious that I can't do anything but think about how I can leave the quickest. It's to a point where I can't even look or really even think about a job application without crying for the rest of the day. But also a lot of my problems come from the fact that I don't have a job. My family thinks I'm a loser and is disappointed in me, and my mom constantly reminds me that nothing I have is mine. So I don't know what to do about that.
I've had to talk to the hotline 2 more times since my first post here because I have nowhere else to really go. I spend most days afraid that I am going to do something to myself. Some days I just spend hours on google researching different therapists and inpatient/outpatient programs, but that seems like a waste of time too because I can't talk to anyone about it that could help me get any of those things. I just feel like everything is so out of control, I feel completely helpless because my anxiety and depression have me almost paralyzed right now, and I know that everyone around me has to be able to see that, at least a little bit. There is no way both of my sisters and my parents have no idea that I am not doing well. I want to scream for help, I want to break down and just let it all out and I don't know how. In some ways I feel like I am, I spend all day in my room, I usually end up going to the dinner table at night with puffy red eyes from crying all day, I don't know, maybe it is not obvious to anyone but me.
I am not sure what to do anymore.

I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only. It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals. I have been wanting a new dress. I like dressing up sometimes. My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant. But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again. I went through this in the fall. I bought...

Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...

In real estates you can buy and sell real estates for you. You can hire a virual assitant in Philippine to do it for you. It is only a few dollars an hour. US dollar. But you have to find a coach to teach you. You can find on Youtube.
Fundraising can be done by someone esle. They can do for free, then you and them spit the money. There are many ways to raise funds. You can find it in Friverr.com
In any event, anxiety can be very debilitating. I have known people who have had it. You may not need inpatient, but have you thought of a counselling center. There are some some support places for people out of work too. They have a Jewish service place where I live. It helps you with a job. You don't have to be Jewish.
Can you get unemployment. Unemployment in my area has a support type group for people to help each other. There is the Dept of Labor Rehabilatative Services.
I went into counselling for a while. They had a day program I went to just about every day. It consisted of a lot of groups. Parents aren't always understanding when your out of work or with mental illness either. Best of luck
