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.
So, I'm moving in about two weeks. Not far and I'll still be here (DS). But it's way out on another side of town that I've never been to. I'll be far from my home turf. I'm so scared and worried. I'm moving in with an acquaintance. But I have no job there yet.
I can't stay here either. This apartment has been my stronghold for 3 years. It's my safe spot and I can no longer afford it. I've never taken to moving well. But this is a whole 'nother beast. So far from familiar things....completely unsure of my job situation.
I'm scared. I'm sad.
I keep telling myself that this is a "fresh start". I'm gonna get this high paying job, pay down my debts, and come home. But I'm terrified. I keep trying to comfort myself, but it's not working.
I've needed my Valium today. I can't stop being scared.

I had to do that a year and a half ago -- I'd been 13 years in one place. Taking my meds when I needed -- religiously -- helped a lot, and talking to people about how I felt did too. Fwiw, after I was moved & calmed down, I really did find things that made me glad I'd moved. Hang on to the hope, and remember that this IS something you can do. And keep us all posted on how the move is coming along.

Change is scary, but it can be good too. Sometimes you have to move on to move forward. You're going to miss your old turf, but there's also going to be the excitement of discovering new things too. And, probably a new, better paying job in the future. And, hopefully, happiness too. That could be exciting. Good luck!

Thanks, guys. I need that on an MP3 I can put on loop until this is over.

Star, this will be your faith move, so to speak. I'm doing it right now; almost ready to go. I'm moving several states away and don't know a soul there, but it won't be my first time. Everything will work out, don't fear!

Thanks, Cerri. You're right, I know. I'm just trying to pull myself together.

Believe me, if you believe it, it will happen. The more you grow in your spiritual journey; the higher self you become, burning off the human nature, the tougher the walk. It serves it's purpose well for us. Look at Helen Keller for example. If you were her, and couldn't see the step in front of you, does that mean you wouldn't take that step? Naw! Step one step at a time and Spirit will manifest the rest. Believe and receive hun!

Needed to hear that more than you know Cerri. :)

And you got what you needed to hear, Star! I'm in the same boat, walking the same walk. We can talk privately if you want to know about my situation, but believe me, I'm trusting 100% in Spirit to guide me every day, every hour if I keep learning how to do that. That's where the real fun begins; when you just trust and do what you can do; the rest just works out. I've seen it manifested in my life many times over. As I type that, my faith in Spirit grows even stronger because it's an affirmation!

I will PM you. I have to go out for a bit. But I will when I get back.

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...
