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 have had such a long year. My hubby had an infection in his foot that messed up his whole body. He had to have a tae and part of his foot removed, his kidneys are messed up and getting worse even though they are still working, his blood sugar is everywhere and he fights respitory problems because of a fungus in his lung. I had 2 surgeries in Aug in 2 weeks and the 2nd was a Hystorectomy. My son has been in 2 car accidents in the past year and the last one on Halloween morninig he had to be cut out and is suffering back pains now. My daughter broke her foot last week and is whining constantly about it. I feel that everything is falling down around me. We are supposed to be looking for a house to move into because we got an eviction notice. My blood pressure is on the rise and all I can do lately is cry. Everyone wants me to do for them. I just want to run away and lock myself up where no one can find me.

wow, you sure have been thru the mill. Firstly, I think you should tell your daughter to get things in perspective when she starts whining again. A broken foot is easily mended -frustrating maybe, but hardly life changing. I would see a counsellor if I were you - someone outside of your everyday life to help you get things in perspective and help you sort out what to do in a practical sense.

Im so sorry hun, you've been to the war and back this year it seems. Try to remember that you need to focus on yourself every now and then also. Do you have time to talk to anyone about this? Like kiwicsi said, a counsellor maybe?

Man, I can understand why you would want to do that. Seems like a lot going on in such a short time. I hope things get to being better soon.

(I didn't know where else to ask, this felt like the best group to.)Is it common to get your period only every other month instead of every month? I've had a normal period schedule until May 2020 where my period skipped a month. I wasn't too worried, I had read that it was completely normal to skip a month. In June I got my period for four days. Then this month, July, I haven't gotten it...
