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.
Sorry - just not feeling very politically correct or able to ignore the BS that is here and in RL for me right now.
So here's what I wonder. We all have problems and issues right? We wouldn't be here if we didn't. I would NEVER be so presumptuous as to think or indicate that my life or my problems have been any worse than anyone else's. Yeah ok, I've had my share of crap, but so has everyone else. My struggles may seem huge to me, but everyone's struggles are huge to them at times. So before you tell me how horrible your life has been and definitely before you use it as some sort of "pass" to be an ass, just think about the fact that we are all struggling with something. And yeah, some things are hard to put in the past, but if you always hold on to every grudge and every thing anyone ever did to upset you, you will have no room for any joy in your life.

So for some time now, I have come to terms with the fact that I am dealing with depression. It has been a hard road. It started with the hardest heartbreak I have ever had to deal with and spiraled from there. At first, I dealt with the initial emotions that come with heartbreak; sadness, anger, regret, etc. I cried a lot. I barely ate. I cut myself off from the world. Then, subconsciously, I...

I have had a long history of depression . I have talked about my shoplifting and alcoholism. I have a history of silly communication in work. Saracatic texts. When people dont respond I sent an anoymous e mail to somebody in work giving out about an event. She figured out it was me.Im suicidal now. I have a son. Now im thinking of ending my life
We all have a choice, sometimes it is hard to see when we are hurting so bad, but we have the choicees..
We have to let the past be in the past, or we have no future.. I remind my self of this almost every day..
again Thank you

If you can not like yourself, farless love yourself and find a minut bit of self-esteem, you are always going to be in the "woa is me" stage.. Somethings have to be fought for..
And Im fighting for mine.. How bout you? That deep dark hole is no place I want to be right now..

hear me?? it's NO reason!!
My life has been seriously IDYLLIC compared to others I've seen on here. If anything, it has made me grateful for the parents and peace and I've enjoyed.
I would never dream of trying to justify my piss poor behavior (occasionally)--on my life or anything that I have endured. It just wont fly.
I don't know, beastie, you rock and I agree. Batdog, I'm a little slow but I've read everything and I am not so confused anymore. Is a little sad isn't it?
BUT there are those that just have to have the attention that comes along with being the victim no matter how unjustified it is.
There are some days I would rather be drug butt nekkid over broken glass with my hair afire {thank you Rima} before I read one more post on how someone elses life is worse than mine and that is how they justify behaving badly toward someone else.
Like some here I know I have it better than most and yes, I am thankful everyday for what I do have BUT that doesn't make my struggling any less than anyone elses and when some folks get that through their thick head a lot of the drama here will stop.
IMHO, only someone who is unable ot have any true empathy, or is very egocentric would insinuate that thier life, or thier pain is worse that others. however, there are times that I do think what do they know? ..that doesn't mean tho that they mean nothing, just something different.
also it shows very judgemental and unforgiving traits in a person if they portray they life is worse than others...
