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 migrated to US in '06 and I haven't met a single friend whom I can talk to. I tried joining organizations, businesses and activities around my town area, but still cannot find the right people to be friends with. I know I don't have problem making friends. I have lots of great friends back in my home country. I am married, so he is almost the only person I ever talk to. But now, things are falling apart for us, because of something that we cannot agree on. It's personal but serious enough to put an end to our marriage. I don't know where to go, or who to talk to. I feel so alone in this world. I don't know how to approach my family if I am divorced, but I want to go home to them. I don't like where I am now. Is there anyone out there who can help?

I have a cold, so I am staying at home so I don't get everyone else sick. This isn't what I need right now. This New Years Eve will be my first without my dad (he passed in October). When the clock strikes midnight we will enter a new year. A year where my dad would have turned 80. A year that he will not physically be here.There has been a lot of great things that happened this year, but it is...

I picked up my brother's ashes the other day at the funeral home which is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do and after I was handed the box containing the 4 small urns, the young man had me sign a paper and then told me to have great day. I was stunned and speechless. How about saying something like "I'm so sorry for your loss"?
I don't like where I am now, either. Maybe we could trade? LOL!
(Dog not included in trade.)
The best advice I can give you at this point with the information you have given is make as many friends on here as possible and maybe it will help you to make friends where you live now. (Boost your self-esteem.) This is an excellent place to make new friends who can help with whatever road blocks you come across!

Welcome to the States I migrated 17 years ago yesterday
Relationships Evaluate.
Do we continue to get involved in relationships with people who emotionally reject us?
Do we let ourselves be used as a doormat for others in the hope that they will love us and approve of us? Or do we surround ourselves with relationships who encourage us tell us we are worth while, special and remind of us of our beauty, never criticizes us and be there when we need them?
Or do we surround ourselves unconsciously with relationships with people that we feel comfortable and familiar with? When we are troubled and confused, we are attracted to troubled, disturbed, confused personalities.
Relationships are complicated because people are complicated. We each have our own ideas, values and hopes and they cant always be the same as the ones we love.
Whether we accept or turn down a request, agree or disagree with someones point of view, we can still treat the other person with respect and curtsey. I can say, No gently
and lovingly as we can say,Yes
We used to think living meant surviving from Crisis to Crisis we will continues this as adults because it was the only way we knew. When we do not know how to respond to a situation to day why not try responding with kindness and that is what we should receive back.
The company we keep rubs of on us and we on them. We influence each others thoughts and behaviours through a cycle of interactions.
Breaking our attraction to unhealthy relationships begins with our own self-acceptance and self-love. We break the cycle by choosing people that have the same personalities
Like self-acceptance, self-love and confidence remember it rubs of both ways.
We need to avoid those that put us down and treats us with no respect, no love and that attempts to keep us down and detract from our personal healing, and we keep the company of affirming people that will nurture and encourage us to be our best and see we have a true value and who helps us grow and fulfill or potential and dreams.
We find ourselves surrounded by people who love and care for themselves and who mirror our own inner beauty and self worth we are more likely to mirror the same.
