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, so I am back creating another discussion. Man, you guys are probably tired of hearing from me! This is my journal entry for today and I was wondering if anyone had some advice for me. It is much needed and appreciated!!

Wow, I like how I am posting so many journals! It's quite sad actually. Anyways, I like writing and I get to see how I am feeling day-to-day so I am going to try and write everday on here. I went to bed last night determined that I was going to stop thinking about killing myself and I prayed to God for an hour asking Him to protect me, but it seems whenever I wake up I just get that suicidal feeling again. I am really, truly lost and have no one to go to. I just told my mom this morning that I will spend tomorrow night at the dorms and start living there most of the week starting next week. I was totally pressured into saying that because I know that is what she wanted to here. I am seriously confused and lost as to what I should do. My anxiety and fear of living back at school is that since I have a single, my thoughts will become so strong that I will overdose or something; and that although if I was home I would see constantly the people that love me, at school I would not see them and would do something that I do not want to do.

Moms like to believe that our children just bounce back. Sometimes, they dont and keep it to themselves. Your best bet would be to be honest with your mom. Tell her that you are not ready to live on your own on campus and that being around her makes you feel better. TRUST ME, telling her that will ease her mind. Tell her that you are not giving up on school. That you are just going to give up on the idea of being alone right now. As a mom, we feel much better when we are fully informed in what our children are feeling and doing. Try this.
