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.
Here is my story, in the two years my boyfriend and i have been together we lost 3 loved ones i i misscarried our first child.
We lost his mmom in july of 05, i had a misscarrige in aug, of 05, his grandmorther passed away in jan of 06, and just this past june my grandmorther passed away, to make things even harder on us both my great grandmorther is currently in the rehab where he is a nuse and the night charge nurse.
this makes for a rough go at home sometimes, espeacaily when i go to see her and she has been waiting 10 mins for an aide to get her to the bathroom, or she needs somethings and the aides are standing around not ansewering her call.
at work he is no different form anyone eles who works thier, i hold him to the same standards as everyone eles and sometimes a higher one.
when he dose his med pass, he always make sure no matter what side of the floor he is on he dose hers, this brings me a peace of mind,to know that she is in his care even when my family and can not be with her.
at first his boss was not sure if this conflict of interest was the best thing for all involede, form my family, to his position our, relationship, and his job and postions.
however it has proven to be the very thing this rehab needed to get rid of those who just were not good employees for one reason or another. and since she has been their and he has been in charge of the one shift many needed changes have taken place, they still have a long way to go.
His boss, has been wonderful to me and our whole family his co workers our suprized att how well we are able to handle this very different and difficult time, yet we manage to keep our relationship complety away form his job. She has been their since july and his co workers just found out we are dating for the past two years.
I need help to understand why i am feeling so many mixes emotions, and my hope is that this post brings strenght to all who read it.
Now iam just trying to understnad it all and not cry each day, but is hard dowhen you r so mixes up inside.

I am so sorry to hear of your pain like this hun, those many loses that close together are very hard to cope with. I am not going to tell you, that time heals all wounds, but I am going to say it does make the pain more bearable. You have every right to feel overwhelmed with hurt. I wish you all the best sweetie, I really do.
