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 always find it strange that everyone says they care and will stand by you when times are hard but when that time comes they're nowhere to be found. I've been feeling good these past few days but I've had small mental breaks I get in a depressive mood I don't leave my room I sit in the dark I don't even speak I just sit writing notes in my phone to release some pain but it doesn't work. My birthday is coming up soon and I'll be spending it alone it's really depressing considering a year ago around now I had a big birthday/graduation party it hurts thinking nobody will remember to say happy birthday to me. I hate feeling left alone, ignored it's a like slap to the face for me. I should be happy about this but instead I'll probably just spend my birthday drinking by myself and being a loser for another year.
Instead of sitting in a dark room, open the blinds or go outside. Sitting in darkness helps depression and feelings of loneliness. Have you shared the things that hurt you with those people? Sometimes people don't know that we are hurting or that they have hurt us because we don't say anything.
