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.
Before I say anything, thank you to whoever takes the time out to read this. It means a lot. I've been on this site for a while now, although having only joined the Self-Injury Support Group. I used to deal with cutting as a result of my depression. Thankfully, because of some very wonderful people in my life, I've been clean from cutting for over a year. I'm not really sure if I'm still depressed or not, but I do know that I still exhibit symptoms of it... Today has been a really hard day for me, psychologically speaking, and I guess I was just looking for some support from people who understand what that's like. Again, thank you to whoever reads this. I appreciate it.
I use to cut and burn a lot and the more I have read about it and seen on tv, there are a lot more people out there that do it then most people think... Even Princess Diana was a cutter.. That is how we release the pain that is killing us mentally although it doesn't last long... Well anyway, welcome to this group and I am sending you some positive mojo.... beastie
I am sorry that today is a hard one for you. We all get that here!
Gentle hugs for better days!
