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.
Hi, hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.
I went to my relatives house, and my cousins were there with their children. I don't have any and it breaks my heart. I'm too sick and too old.
Their house was clean, and I came home to a dust and cobweb filled home. I can't clean because of the severe depression. I also battle OCD, which controls my life.
Also was wondering what my ex husband was doing on Thanksgiving, especially when he is living in the home that I planned every detail of it's building of it. Also is living there with his girlfriend or wife and her kids and they adopted one. Breaks my heart, my dreams have been taken away from me, I also wanted to live in a different state and couldn't wait to move and had like 100 empty boxes to pack up.
He divorced me because he didn't want to hurt me anymore and couldn't front Dr's to get help. I have a boyfriend now but might still love my ex.
I do apologize for telling my story again, to those who know it...I will put this in my journal, and will apologize there also who knows my story...
Big Big hugs to everyone on DS.
Love, srosie

So sorry you were crying. I didn't know your story before, but even if I did, I'd say that if it helps you to get it out again, by all means do so. (((HUG)))

Thank you maridon.

You feeling better? If you need to talk, write. :)
deleted_user
maridon, I'm feeling pretty bad.
deleted_user
What's happening, who so sad? Something in particular, or things just building up?

maridon: So sad because of everything I wrote above...

It is hard to love someone who can't or doesn't return it. I am sorry you are having a hard time. Times seem harder around the holidays. I hope you feel better soon.

Memories. :( They can be hard to deal with, particularly on a holiday. All the what-ifs... We all have them, and they can come back to overwhelm us. You have to try and get past them. i know that's so much easier said than done. :( But you have to try.

Thank you Hapless

I look at my ex husband and his new family and think about how that should have been us. I understand. But, it isn't us and we have to work at getting past it.
deleted_user
Hapless is so right. We have to look to the future, not dwell in the past.

it's been over three years since my divorce, and four years when my ex went crazy on me, for lack of a better word... He appears bipolar and/or borderline personality disorder, as I have talked to many professionals about him.
deleted_user
But that is your past. As someone (either Shakespeare or Star Trek) says, the future is the unidiscovered country. Stop looking back and look forward. Your memories will always be there, but you have a whole future to create new memories, too.

I feel like a loser and failure, because I can't do things like other's can do. Like shower everyday, clean, wash dishes often etc...
deleted_user
Just start off slow. Pick out something you can do, something that won't take long, maybe ten minutes. Then when you've finished, you'll know you CAN accomplish something. Maybe tomorrow try something that takes 15 minutes. Just little steps to get yourself started.

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...
