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.
Just looking for a place to come for support and to talk to people who struggle with depression as I do. It helps to know I am not alone in this struggle and hope to use this as a positive part of my getting better. I know it will take time but it has taken too much of my life already. I don't want to just exist. I want to live and feel hopeful and motivated. Depression gets in the way of that. I am hoping for each day to get better and I know I won't give up or give in so that is the best start I can ask for.
I am really working hard at trying to accomplish something everyday. I find it helpful to force myself to do something productive each day. Then at the end of the day I can feel good about it.
I also try to set little goals such as phoning a friend or trying to go for a walk.
I think there is a pretty good group of people on here. I have gotten a lot of support over the years. Welcome to the group.
