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.
We have been through hell and so has my little dog who died last night. She was hit by a car and I have never seen anything so horrible in my life, she lived for 3 days, we took her to the vet daily, they operated and tried to save her, but last night her throat kept swelling up and I could not afford to spend any more money, I already spent all I had, 725 dollars on her, and she was struggling to breath, she looked so pitiful. She stood up one last time trying to get her breath, and laid down and stopped breathing and died. I miss her so bad. She walked with me when I took walks for my exercise, she sat with me when I worked out in the garden, and she loved it so much, she sat with me on the love seat when I read books. When am I suppose to push myself back to doing things like before? Should I stay in this funk, or should I try to force myself to do these things again anyway, today? It just happened last night????
