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.
oh happy thanksgiving all!
this should give you a good laugh...
my sister wanted the thanksgiving duties this year so i let her have them. its been rough for me the last few weeks so i am glad to be rid of them for once.
set the scene: my sister - alcoholic, manic depressive, bi polar and i think she has multiple personalities - in complete denial on all counts - scary that she is a nurse!!
spoke to her last night:
she waited until yesterday to food shop and prepare all the food - NUTS!! can you say overextended and stressed???
she bought a frozen turkey yesterday - thought she could leave it out on the counter all night long to thaw!! can you say bacteria??
she had some drinks last night - hmm...
made pies without pie tins. the pumpkin pies ended up in casserole dishes and the apple pies ended up in frying pans. she put them in the fridge but proclaims she will stick them back in the oven for a half hour to heat them up again!!! can you say overcooked dried out, warped shaped pies??
she says she made too much stuffing - so she is taking the extra and going to throw it in the oven, dry!! can you say heimlich maneuver?
she cant leave any food out today, the ants will get to it!!! can you say GROSS!!
when discussing my sisters gourmet skills with my youngest sister last week, my youngest sister said "I dont care if there isnt any turkey, stuffing or anything. as long as i have your sweet potatoes i will be happy" - can you say "DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE"?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
"i cant wait until this is all done so i can sit and have a drink"
can you say/bet that she will be drunk before we all arrive?
you may be reading in the papers tomorrow about a thanksgiving tragedy, family of 20 end up in hospital having their stomachs pumped. :)
ah forget it!!!
sorry if you were insulted, was not written with that intention
i am outta here
happy fucking thanksgiving all!!
