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.
its been awhile since I posted. I can say now I'm writing from home. We found a place and we are so happy. I must say I'm excited happy nervous and sad. It's a new chapter and I'm going to go on without my Dad. Since I last wrote I called my doctor and I cut my antidepressants in half and it's better. I'm not so tired, suicidal and zombie like. I haven't cut since last November and I also burnt my suicide note the other weekend with my cousin and Mom. I haven't thought about suicide as much here and there. I'm actually being a smartass enjoying life a little more each day. I have a new councilor and she's great. Going to start group therapy soon nervous on that. I still hard to go in my life without my Dad but I'm trying the best I can. I imagine next month is going to be rough and then Fathers Day after that. It's been a year since I got his memorial tattoo and it couldn't be more perfect. But I am doing better and I'm trying. I hope everyone of my friends on here are doing good. Hugs and prayers.
My mother passed away almost 4 years ago and I still cry every time I remember her especially on Mother's day, her birthday and their wedding anniversary. Cry if you need to. That's what I do every time I miss her and it helps me to feel better.
According to an article, each person sets his or her own pace when grieving, the grieving process can be long and isolating so it's important to accept support rather than being alone.Talking about grief is also an essential part of healing. Try to talk to your friends or families that you are comfortable with. When I was grieving, me and my sisters talked almost everyday and we found relief.
I hope you will feel better soon. I pray for peace and strength that you need each day. Thank you fro sharing this, God bless.
