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.
I'm not sure what's up with me, but I'm feeling blah. I think I'm primarily upset about not having or finding a relationship. It's been like 3.5 years, almost four, since my last one. Sometimes I still think about him. Apparently he moved out of state now, it really shouldn't make a difference, but it bugs me. I just don't seem to be able to find anyone else that I click with. I got asked out a couple of times in the past week, which was nice, but the guys were just so far out of my age range that it really would not have worked. It felt uncomfortable. I feel bad for even for just not being interested, but I don't think it pays to try to talk yourself into being interested, it just doesn't work. I am just not sure how many more chances I have.
Money is tight. I'm a fulltime student. I keep thinking that I've found work, and then the start date just gets pushed down the line. Sometimes some of my friends don't text me back lately. These things grate on my nerves and bother me. My family doesn't know I'm a fulltime student because I'm not sure that they would approve. My cousin doesn't seem to want to talk to me either and that bothers me. I keep feeling like there are some things that I would like to text her and then I don't, because I think, why bother, she doesn't care anyway.
I know that a lot of this is negative. I went to my support group tonight and it was fine, I like the facilitator, but I specificallly said that I didn't want judgment (aka comments/feedback) on some of my topics from the other group members. Basically crosstalk. I got it anyway. It irritated me so much. I said that I specifically said I didn't want this esp. on a particular topic, whey are you doing this? I felt better after talking with the facilitator and like I resolved some stuff, and then this lady just launched in with all of this advice dumping. Things weren't working well in my particular situation and I just wanted to discuss it. When I get told how I am supposed to resolve and fix things it makes me feel like I am failing more like I just can't get anything right. I was feeling better at the end and then it was like she rained on my parade.

My sister-in-law called yesterday. She had some bad news about her job and wanted to let me know that they are coming for a visit at the end of October. Then she went on and on and on about her job! She only calls about 3 times a year so I didn't want to cut her off but I didn't have an hour and forty-five minutes to spare. I barely got a word in edgewise. Why don't people realize when...

Sometimes, I think I have ODD. I can be oppositional. It seems that the only times that I feel like cleaning are when I should be doing something else or I have to go somewhere. Well, not everytime but most of the time. Yesterday, I was supposed to be doing online training for work but instead, I decided to work on my kitchen table. Most of the time, I don't know where to start and give...
I agree with Greeneyes that if your not interested in the men that showed interest your better off not going for it.
I have been blah on and it off too,
