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.
OMG YA'LL ! Matt wants to join DS ! And i sincerly think that it would do him a lot of good - he needs people to talk to that are going through the same things that he is and i really need him to be ok..... he calls me at night and we talk for hours about silly stuff- like why on jon and kate plus 8 do all the kids look like the father? just silly meaningless stuff like that- and he says to me if u help me make a email address i want to join DS and i'm like that would be good for you Matt- i am so proud of him for finally trying to become a man and breaking out of this i'm a child inside shell that he has.... i love him so incredibly much- and i don't know what i'd do if i lost him.... so if he does end up joining us- i would like to ask that everyone support him and let him know this is a place where he can be welcomed and talk freely about his issues.... luv ya'll and thank u in advance - and for goodness sakes don't tell him all the horrible stuff i said about him- lol even though it is true........ but just thought i'd share and warn everyone we might have a new member soon...
...I applaud your willingingness to cheer on your friend Matt and encourage him to get help. I'm worried for you though, if this will impact your ability to use DS to get support without fear of what you're feeling/thinking getting back to people in your 'real life'.
Remember to patrol your boundaries hun...and don't let yourself be hurt by others. Take care!
