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 know logically I cant hurt myself. I cant die. But there is a part of me that keeps giving me irrational thoughts. I need to keep myself busy. I am terrified of what I will do if I dont. So I bought an Ipod and am getting music. I got some movies. I go to work tomorrow. Please just dont let me slip. I literally have no control when it gets that dark. If I can stay positive and stay away from negative maybe I will have a chance? I have to try.

Do you have OCD? Maybe you need meds? Or just to talk to a therapist.

I know I have Bipolar and take meds for that. I am not sure about OCD.

Well done keeping busy, I think it's the key to survival for me also. Get up early and do stuff!!

Part of my safety plan is just things to do.

I feel the same way. Just try to keep yourself distracted with work and/or your hobbies the best you can. Also talk to a friend/relative/counselor if you have any available. It can help.
