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.
Please note that the following is just an array of my thoughts that I am feeling. And that all of my feeling are all over the place.
I am not ok.
I walk around pretending, pushing, hiding all of these emotions that I feel to the side so that I can cater to everybody else's feelings. I dont know how else to deal with it. I don't know how else to react. When I feel a certain way and I try to voice it, it seems to go in one ear and out the other and when I dont voice it that's when everyone gets worried when I choose to not say anything and watch myself self destruct that's when everyone seems to take notice when I'm dealing with it the best way that i can. I dont know. that's all I can say is I dont know.
Thank you for sharing this. I know things can be different and can get better. I'm learning to know myself and how important it is to think and feel and believe and have needs and desires. Also, how to be around people who care and who I can have an equal relationship with.
There was a point in my life when I was hurting so bad but I was trying to show that I’m well. In my experience, it was was hard to pretend to be alright when in fact I was not. I have a friend that I can talk with whenever I need to and it’s a big help. I also pray and I write down my feelings in my journal.
I hope things will get better for you and please feel better soon. You are in my prayers. God bless.
