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.

Gentle hugs
There ... is the recommendation.
high or drunk or smth (whatever that is) compound the problems. HUGE mistake. They have NEVER solved anything. NEVER ... for ANYONE. Medical treatment has done 99% of solving the problem you describe ... for MILLIONS of people. Aim for the target ... and you will hit it. Fire into the air, and you will NEVER HIT the target ... you will hit something else ... in this case, something TRAGIC. Illicit Drugs and alcohol use ... never solved anything.
Are you afraid that if you talk too much in therapy they will have you sent to a hospital or something?
