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 really enjoying this website. I have been on here for a little over a week and the e-mails I have gotten have been tremendous, and more importantly the chance to reach out to others has been theraputic.
The Holidays are a tough time to deal with depression for a number of reasons, but I think the opportunity to give is what truly fulfills someone. We all joke about the "madness" of Christmas shopping, beginning with "Black Friday" all the way up to that last minute gift on Christmas Eve, the crowds, the parking, the traffic, etc. I miss it. I have gotten some great gifts over the years, but it never comes close to the gifts I have been able to give, and the look on someone's face when they open that present. You can see it in their eyes, that you got them the perfect gift. That is what I love, and what I miss about the Holidays.

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...
So I guess what I am saying is that if we keep an open mind about things...they will work out.....but we do have to look and seek....I hoep this makes sense...
