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'm very depressed. Major life changes and decisions going on. I'm not holding up well at all. I have no hope. I don't knw what to do. I can't stand this constnat pain anymore
If you didn't do anything, things would change around you anyway. Changes have to happen.
I had major life changes the past 3 years also. Yes I was sad and depressed, but it takes a while to get used to new things and changes.
You will be fine. It's an adjustment period right now, and change can be scary. You're afraid of the unknown, where life will take you. Life is ups and downs all the time. This too shall pass. I wish you well!!
what you said about things will change anyway whatever decsions i make is so true. it's the thing about my job right now (I wrote about it in my journal) that is pushing me over the edge. I know i need to go for my health but thinking about not working is sending me into this huge terrifying dive into despair. you're right though, i'm thinking ahead about all the bad things that will happen. one day at a time is good advice. I do have significant legitimate worries though about financial and social repercussions. i just feel like i can't hang on there anymore. that i don't WANT to maybe. it's so hard and i've been doing it for so long. this whole thing is terrifying for me. it shouldn't be so devastating but it is.
