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.
Well I came here to find help and support and thanks to the friends that I have made I have found some, but thanks to the few who want to hurt I have decided to take a break from DS and to only PM my friends when I am on here.
It is no wonder more and more people are leaving when they are treated like this.
Congratulations to those few that feel they have to turn every discussion into something about them. You are to be commended for taking away the help that could have been offered to the ones who really need it, and who started the post in the first place.
I know that this will happen to this one so HOORAY to you, I really hope you are proud of yourselves.
To everyone else who has been helpfull and friendly ((( H U G S ))) to you. I hope you find what you are looking for, I will reply to your posts through PM and you can be assured that I will not give you a negative comment, as I treat others the way that I would want to be treated myself.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
Im sorry you were treated so badly here. I hope things go good for you. Take care

i personally am one of those people. why? because with what i have gone through sometimes i feel so totally freakish, like i am the only one who feels the way i do, that i don't want anyone else to feel that way. i want them to know someone understands what they are going through in the most part.
this is what support groups are for. if this is not what you need perhaps going to one on one therapy is better for you.
i am by no means defending those who bash or otherwise injure peoples feelings here. i am only defending the multitude who have their heart in the right place.
i am also by no means insinuating that what you are feeling is wrong. no opinion or feeling is ever wrong, it is only personal.
please continue to try to help others as i have found that can be very helpful to yourself as well. it can make you see possible solutions to your own problems that you didn't see before. i will strive, as i hope others will, to be kinder and gentler with others feelings. but please don't ask that we not share our stories. that isn't fair considering that is what we are here for in the first place
First of all HUGS and I am sorry to see that it has come to this for you!!! But I will also add that this is NOT the same DS I joined Dec 27th 2007!!! Such a short time ago this was such a much more loving and caring place to come to!!!
Just as an example I have not spent much time here lately and in fact haven't been here in 2 days.... I come back on and all this stuff about Courty is STILL going on ....LOL... last time I was here this was going on and even then I had no clue what the issue was!!! This place has sadly and tragically digressed to less than an 8th grade level!!! I truly miss the days of yore where people here were intent upon trying to help one another!!! Now..... it is simply a popularity contest.... how infantile ... and .... funny how it usually involves the same people over and over. Whether attacking others or one another ... it is simply a shamelessly pitiful situation!!!!
I mean seriously nowadays here the posts wishing people happy birthday or simply happiness and ... yeah the whole reason this place exists...SUPPORT they get at the VERY most a few replies IF any at all !!!!
This is truly a sad day .... and there already have been so very many folks that have left .... I am truly and deeply saddened by this turn of events!!! As well...I am considering leaving this site or at the very least simply dealing in PM's and chats, as I feel that to be active on the boards is futile!!!!!
With that said I ask that as many of you that care to please wish scaredandscarred a happy birthday!!
