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.

It seems like a lot of the time when I do hang out at DS I try to forget my own problems and just try to give feedback to others. I don't know why it's so hard for me to talk about my own issues and depression, but it has been tough for me. The really weird thing is that despite the fact that I try to help others more than I try to help myself, it seems like the ones I'm trying to help are often doing better than I am. So it really is time to focus on me for a change. I have been stuck for way too long but today I took a huge risk and I think that what I did may have actually gotten me unstuck enough so that I can move forward in recovery. I know that I'm being rather vague at the moment----there's so much to talk about! Right now just send me some good vibes that can help me get some housework done today. Housework is so hard for me. It takes me forever to get the slightest thing done. But I do keep trying even though I seem to fail more than I succeed. Thank you all for your care and support. It means so much to me to know that you are all out there.

You are all so wonderful and your kind words are like precious gems to me. I'm going to copy down your comments on paper so that I can reread them when I need to be reminded that I'm really not alone with my issues and that there really are people out there who want to support me on this journey. The really great news is that I got a bunch done in the kitchen and I'm still going!!! ( I can hear the "whoopie whistles now!! Ha, ha).
