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 having a tough time today. I am worried about money, and christmas, and am losing my faith in god. I am worrying about everything, and I don't know how we are going to make it this year. Please someone talk to me.

Remember xmas isnt about the gifts. Its about family and being thankful and doing our best by each other.

I wish I knew how to make the anxiety go away. I don't like this feeling. I am not going to hurt myself, but I just don't want to feel this way right now.

Thanks pixie, and zippy, and shooting. I hate this feeling. Why did I wake up feeling like this? I feel very alone. I know I am not, because other's are going through the same things. I just don't know what to do.

I dont have an answer as to why you woke up that way ... its always hard to deal with though. The day is young ... maybe by this evening it will be gone. Until then ... do things for yourself. Take a hot bubble bath, eat a bag of chocolate, crank up your favorite tunes ... just do things for yourself. You deserve it!

I know how you feel, I've always been strong in my faith and recently I'm scared I may lose faith. And I understand about money and Christmas. I just lost my job and my husband can't be with me on Christmas. I'm here if you want to talk.

jasonswife, I am sorry to hear that. I have been brought up to always put my faith in god, but I just don't understand. Sometimes I feel so alone.

Yep, xmas can trigger deep emotions for probably the lot of us, you do have to focus on the being happy and strong first, that is the best present that you can give yourself and family.

Holidays are hard especially if you are predisposed to depression. I too am losing my job this December. Do something you enjoy today. Even if you don't feel like it. Sometimes this helps me. Reading, painting, anything.

Hey dearest, I cant remember the exact book or verse but I know for a fact if all the faith you can summon up today is the size of a mustard seed...You can move that mountain from here to there. Right? Right.

I hope when I go to work, I may feel better. I am sure it is not good to sit in the house and keep thinking.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
