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.
My depression is taking hold again, and it scares me. I've been managing my symptoms without medication, but I'm starting to reconsider. Maybe it's time to give the meds a try, so that I can continue facing life's challenges. My life usually consists of family drama, and It's a constant struggle. I'm usually the one who has my "act" together, and I've always been confident while trying to maintain peace within my family unit. But, sometimes I feel like walking away, and never coming back.
This is the worst feeling in the world.

maybe you should try meds like you say.
a trip to the docs will do no harm :)
but now im stable and on meds and have got my life back on track
i would talk with your doctor
meds can be a temporary measure while you regain your strength
in the meantime talk with us here we all like to help as much as we can
1 Clinical (physiological)in which you have no control and it's simply an imbalance that you need to balance for your body. Usually your on meds for life, like diabetes or anemia, it just is.
2 Situational - when situation in your life are very stressful and cause you to be depressed. In this case meds will help lift the heavy wet blanket so you can breathe and think more clearly. Usually your off meds quite quickly
It's usually not a good idea to take meds without being in some kind of counseling
Good luck and let us know how it goesfor you.
:^)
Hope you'll be feeling better soon and I'm here if you need me. *hugs*
Meds are nothing to be ashamed of. If they make your depression (and therefore your life) easier to handle then give them a try. it's worth it not to be miserable if you can afford it.
Thanks again!
We can learn so much from examining the past and present we can learn important information that can help us in the present and the future.
Almost every worry and fear are based on the past and future we cant change the past
The future is right now, after this moment the future is now the past.
It is easy to block out painful memories from the past and forget the fond memories get lost in our illness we forget what fond memories or moments are we have to recognize both if we want to apply them in a realistic and positive way in our quest for recovery or relief for the moment.
What we have to really remember it is not possible for us to change the past it is over.
We are powerless over what went on before or how other people think or behave. We do have some control of how we react to issues. When you are Angry the best thing to say is NOTHING!
We cannot change the fact we have been harmed others. And we cannot change the fact others have harmed us. We only have the opportunity to change the present day.
The best use of the information we uncover, when we face our past demons, fears, worries and have to face them head on. "It hurts but then we can move on, we must not let it hold us back from living here and now. LET GO!
We have to not get bogged down in dealing with the old wounds they makes us forget about new growth for the present.
The past is the past. But the moment is the future only for one moment then it is the past so every new moment is a new beginning every moment every day"
We can do for one moment anything; we will not do it thinking it is for Lifetime.
