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 am coming on tippy toes as I enter into the open discussions again, for fear of standing on someone. Yet I don't think my topic is controversial or offensive. All I want to know is how caffeine affect you all.
I love good coffee and diet coke. But they send me ragging, off the charts with aggression. I have proven this to myself and my family. When I am tired and/or stressed, caffeine tips me over the edge and I lose it, when I am driving, with the kids, whatever. Stay off the caffeine and I might still get cranky, but it doesn't last and I can hold myself together.
Do any of you have a similar reaction? I have literally tested an proven it and my wife will verify it. Two good cups of coffee and two hours later I feel uptight, especially in the frontal lob, the top front of my head right between my eyes. Stay off coffee and I can cope. Seriously, have any of you had the same experience? Have you tried not drinking caffeine? It is hard as I love it, but like smoking it has proven to be too costly for my relationships.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
I switched to decaf recently and I get no reactions from it. Even a small glass of coke at night would make me edgy too...so try either Coke Zero or Pepsi-free....and be freak-out free!
