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'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.

Are you able to recognise the signs when he starts to slide into depression? My BF has learned to do this with me and will often come over and hug me and ask how I'm feeling and what can he do to help me.

There's a lot a pamphlets and websites that can provide you with information on how to help a loved one who suffers from mental illness. I think most hospitals have them too. Educating yourself on his illness might help you to be able to help him.
