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.

You are 100% correct about it being a cycle. The only way to take control back is to break the cycle. The negativity has got to be replaced with positives. You don't have to believe them right now but every negative thought needs to be countered with a positive one. This is your job. This will eventually stop the cycle. Hard work but you can do it. You must be determined to overcome.

It does sound like you're in a vicious cycle. Do whatver you can for yourself that's positive, no matter how small. (((HUGS))).

Life is much better than death. My only brother was seriously depressed and alcoholic. he committed suicide on Feb 3 as a way out of his pain. I cannot even BEGIN to tell you how much PAIN our family is in. if you are thinking death is a way out, it is NOT. please, please do whatever you have to to get yourself better.

Hey Friend19, Sorry to hear that you too suffer from depression. Mine started when I was in my highschool years,,I believe. But just did'nt get the attention that it needed at the time.....I'm 47 and I still suffer,,,but I do want to say,,that life is worth living. I lost my brother to cancer last month,,,its hard but,,its life..I know that there are good things out there in this world,,,its just that people like you and I and many others,,,just need to find those good things. I would have to say that in all reality ,,I hate life,,its a living hell at times,,,seems like most of the time. But I want you to know that I Do know how you are feeling. Depression,,anxiety,,panic,,it kicks my a__ all the time,,,but we can win against it. If we have to,,we can learn to live with it,,and just let it continue to be, your Worst Enemy...If you ever want to talk,,I'm here quite often,,,at least for now..Take care

I couldnt agree more. It seems like some of us just seem to get the short straw no matter what. Guess I should learn to make spitballs.
