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.

Earlier In the week I went to the gym, As I always do.
This girl came very young (18) Late teen's anyway, And I'm 43,
I think her friend caught me stairing at her from the back, Cause I saw her friend signaling for the girl to move, cause a guy is staring at u.
And Yesterday, (had my earphones in) I saw A girl pointing towards me, for her friend to lookout I was coming.
I DID NOT TOUCH THE GIRL, NOR HAD ANY CONTACT WITH HER IN ANYWAY.
I Have notived myself looking at girls in a sexual manner.
I just feel sick, all these girls want is to workout, Without, monster's
Like me staring.
And If I go to another, Gym. the same thing is going to happen.....I hate who I have become, This is not the person I am, or was brought to be.

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

So voc rehab finally got in touch with me...it took like six months finally. The voc rehab person that they assigned to me is a lawyer and extremely knowledgable on disability law and he seems to know a great deal about how to get people placed in jobs and how to make their resumes pass ATS. I was really surprised at how articulate and energetic he is. I guess my question is how much I...

Gyms are a really hard place, luckily I wear glasses and can take them off. Without them I can see well enough to find the equipment but not make out bodies.
But it’s not a crime to stare.
None that I've ever been to. Women have the right to be in any public place without the "attention" nor should they have to be cordoned off into a special section just to escape unwanted "attention"
Guitarman, it sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. It's normal for men or women to look or glance a beat longer at people they find attractive. It's good that you noticed that the girl you were looking at was underage and therefore off limits. You inherently knew right from wrong, and as you said you didn't engage with or have any contact with these women.
You're aware of what's going on inside you, and you don't sound like a monster at all.
As for you, OP, you have found a big flaw in your character, but one that is common. You want to give up, but why not try a support group and mentor to help? My church had a group one year for men who were being tempted by porn and women. They worked together and many were set free from lust.. There is no temptation that is not common to people.
Don't be so angry at yourself. Instead, challenge your energy into overcoming. You can do it!
Pretty much a very normal thing. However, it socially should 'have its limits' and if you think you are beyond the limit, I strongly suggest you discuss it with a therapist.
Women have been seducing men for thousands of years and then they get offended when it works. It's a fine line. It's up to you though to decide if you have a problem or not. If you think you do, .. get with a therapist.
I wanna go see a therapist, Here's the problem......I still live at home with my parent's and I think my mother feel's That she can help me. I don't want to discuss thing's like that with my mother.......And, Pretty much likes to know the aspects of my daily life,
If time with therapist goes on my credit card.....she'll think it's about her
My mom and dad both look at my credit card statement.
So, they can't know, But I fear they will find out..........I know it's weird, A 43yr old man to get mom and dad's approval.
Suggestion's??
