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.

Well, the shit has hit the fan in my extended family. There seems to be now way to heal this sick family. We now have a division right down the middle. My brother and father (the alcoholics) on one side, and my sisters and me on the other. It makes me very sad. Mud is being slung back and forth. Help!! I'd like to climb in a hole.

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...
Grant me the serenity to accept
The things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdon to know the difference.

I haven't slung any mud, but I'm included in other people's mud. It's a mess.
Don't get caught in the middle. I used to do that at home with my family. I was always trying to make things better. It does not work.
You may want to try Alanon based on the 12 steps of AA. My husband went and found it really helpful. You know you can't change them. You can only change yourself.
I say all this to you with love and caring for what you are going through. They are suggestions and you decide what's good for you and ignore the rest.
