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.
Hi. Im very new the community. My mother was the one who told me about this site. She thought it would be good for me to know that I am not the only one that going through hard times. And that there are people out there that can relate to what I am going through. I feel as if I do need some support to better myself and help me understand.
My name is Meghan and Im 20 years old as of tomarrow. ;p YaY! I have no kids. A baby turtle. And a loving boyfriend of 4 years.
I have been suffering from depression since I was about 12. I never really had the proper help. I mean I have had therapy when I was like 13 but that only lasted a short while. I am now on prozac. Which is okay I guess. Ive only been on it for about a week and I feel some slight changes.
I would like to meet all kinds of people. Any race age or background. Im open minded and like to help others.
Nice to meet you all! have a good day!

What would YOU do if you won the lottery? If I won I would find a program or place that treats the WHOLE body, not just with chemicals or talk therapy, to find a mental health regimen that would FINALLY work for me. I would work to get off of my meds altogether. (Years and years of taking meds that don't help have left me frustrated and fairly angry.) Treatment for mental illness is not for the...
