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.
Ok u mentioned it so ill give it a shot: A lil bit bout me: (watch how a lil bit turns into ..geeze does she ever stop talking lmao)
My mother said she always knew there was something different bout me, not in a bad way of course, just different from others. Growing up I hated everything about me. Mirrors didnt stand a chance in my world. I remember as early as 1st grade thinking in my head that everytime I left the room, they were having a party cuz I was gone, and they would miraculously clean it all up before I returned. In High School, my cycling was extrememly rapid. I was either so peppy and excited and happy that I made a fool of myself half the time. Or I was sooo sad ppl, hardly recognized me without a red face from crying uncontrollably at the drop of a hat. Other time ...oh soo mad for no reason at all and wanted to make sure that everyone was as miserable as I felt.
Had my first nervous breakdown at 19, 2 suicide attempts. and at 25 spent a week in a hospital voluntarily, after finding myself trying to hurt myself again and not knowing how I got to that point..So lost that I dont even remember writing a note.. which I had done, in 7 pages...Amazing what the mind can do isnt it *rolling eyes* That week stay in the hospital was the best thing that ever happened to me though. Have no intentions of going back voluntarily again though..I learned a lot about my illness and ways to cope with or without meds of course its harder without the meds, obviously not hard enough for me as i have been off mine since April. For the most part I have been doin pretty good since April, but its just a matter of time and I know it. Oh well...todays a good day
Thats all I got for now to share with you. It felt good to share it to.
Hugs alll and ty for all the welcomes and hugs I have recieved!

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...
and i havent welcomed you yet. so welcome and hugsssss xxxxx
