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.
For many of us who battle depression, self love can seem difficult at best and yet we need that love for ourselves in order to heal and move on in our lives to a better, healthier place. So what small step can each of take today toward self love? Would it be to forgive ourselelves for past mistakes? Letting go of old issues that stir up old pain and anger? Or maybe feeding ourselves healthier, more nutritious foods? Or maybe you have another way you can love yourself a little better today? Feel free to explore this topic and share your insights with the rest of us. Thanks for sharing. Heidi

I would love myself more If I could let things go, relax, quit being so angry, and love life, instead of fearing it. I dont understand all this depression, anxiety, hypochondria, bipolar stuff, I dont read up on it, because I dont think I have it. But I get these bursts of energy to do things, then just give up and sit here, online, 'tired', no energy, sad, stomach hurts, achy, and I think Its cancer (because of my hypochondria) and in reality, HELLO !! Its depression!! But Im afraid to take medicine, so Ill never love myself completely.

I would love myself more if I could get rid of the shame of sexual abuse. Though I have done well, I am still working on this issue. I need to let it 'float away' every time I think of it.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
