Does anyone here feel like they are so depressed that they can only see the bad things and it's hard to see the good things or the blessings in your life? I know I have a lot of blessings, but I can't move past the bad. My husband and I have not had our wedding (we are married and plan to have a real wedding one day). I can't help but be sad when I think about my wedding because I won't have my dad there to walk me down the aisle or have a father/daughter dance with. I've always wanted a real wedding since I was little and I had my father/daughter dance song picked out when I was in elementary school. Butterfly Kisses. Anyways, just needed a little vent. Thanks!

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...
Fuck the "mental health community". Their def of "mental health" is being suicidal and hating yourself.
the way you feel about your wedding is NORMAL. It's fine to have mixed feelings. We all do. Strong emotions evoke other strong emotions. You love your husband and that reminds you that you loved your father. When my dad had a cancer scare, I cried at the financial news (he's an investor, and when I was growing up he always had the business news on.) Pretty dumb, huh? I was teaching calculus at the time, and I knew that if I solved a quadratic equation I'd burst into tears cause my dad used to make me do quadratic equations to kill time at restaraunts and in other situations where we were waiting for something. It's fine. Even people who aren't saddled with the awful labels you and I have been stuck with feel this way.
Please stop feeling bad about feeling bad.
It's not "depression". It's just you, and its fine.
