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 am so sorry that you have so many issues to deal with.
It may help you to make a list of your stress points (your reply today was a very good start, and it may have all the key points you need to do the next step), and then write down options that you have for dealing with them.
One lesson I have learned is that no matter how hard we try, we can not change the past. The trick for me (and my past is not as bad as yours, so my tricks may or may not work for you) has been to come to terms with past issues, and then move on. Forget them if I can, but do what ever it takes to make me not dwell on them in a negative way.
Sorry to jump into stuff right away.
Pleased to meet you, sorry for the reasons that made our paths cross, and gentle hugs as you process all of this.
