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 told my friend I had no redeeming qualities and that I was sick of lying to myself because I don't and I honestly am sick of trying to convince myself I do. She says I made her cry and I don't know what to say because I don't want to lie anybody anymore that I have redeeming qualities??? What should I do I'm such a screw up and I need help I'm sorry this is my second post in a two day period...

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
Have a good cry, eat something healthy and get some good sleep. We all go a bit off our trolley at christmas. It seems to do that to us. You're having a really low mood and it's probably 80% chemical processing.
don't do anything silly. And remember: your life is for you. You're at a bad time in it now, with a lot of school pressure, but you won't be in that state for long.
you don't have to have redeeming qualities because you don't have to redeem yourself. You don't owe anyone anything to start with. If your friends want to be around you, that's enough. Just let them be around you, and let that be enough. And let yourself enjoy them.
:) Christmas is awful some years. Just go have a cry, tell her you care about her, have a hug and let it pass. :)
You do have good qualities. You don't feel and you don't see it now but they are there.
When life gets dark and painful there is nothing but yuck and muck around you. Try to see through that.
You are NOT a screw up! You may feel like it but it is not truth!
Do something you like to do for you. Do some self soothing. Try to get out of your head, give your brain a break. I watch something funny, or I do something creative.
Keep posting. We are here for you.

Like my dad use to say, we all make mistakes, thats why they put erasers on pencils!
