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.
From my Dad!
I wanted to share it with you all, as he is so wise. It applies to all of us. I'm parapharsing, did not record the conversation to get it verbatim:
Happy New Year! I hope you can put the past behind you, and go forward, as you are intelligent enough to know how to direct your life towards the positive road, the high road.
I want nothing but the best for you always.
Sometimes we are dealt circumstances, beyond our control, that are meant to make us stronger. Never let them weaken you. Fight for yours...(you've always been a fighter)...*then, he giggled*
May this year be the beginning of all things grand in your life. I'm counting on you, and I believe in you. You can DO THIS!!
.....Brought me to tears!!
I know he means it from the heart. These are the same things I wish for all of you!

over the last couple of days ive been being told that a physcologist and doctor is the only way for me to heal and help myself, which at first didnt affect me as much but now i seriously am having a panic attack and have absolutley no hope for myself that i am going to heal, i cant see myself healing or being happy and i cant imagine my life getting any better, it truly really feels like it is...

My sister is in an abusive relationship with a cheater and overall emotionally abusive guy, I have read her text messages with him and he's cheated multiple times and literally takes no accountability and does not know how to apologize properly without putting the blame on her and being manipulative and I really just don't get why she's still staying in the relationship and i don't know how to...
thanks for the wishes! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The whole time he was saying this to me...I'm feeling his love...and thinking this message applies to all...it was meant personal...but this is the greatest new year wish I have ever heard.
Maybe because of the job loss, divorce, depression, forced counseling, 1 kid pushing my buttons, finances....a lot of things....another kid so angry with me, he moved & changed his number.....the youngest so sweet.....It's been a rough couple of years.
Wanted to share the positivity with you all.
He is so right, . dealt with circumstances beyond our control. That is why the words of the Serenity Prayer are so helpful to me.
Happy New Year, Nee, .. I hope it is a very, very good one.
I'm going to tell him the beginning of all things grand in my life began the day I was born and he held me. Continued when he returned safely from the Vitnam War, when he did the most unconventional thing of 1968, by taking me & my sister and becoming a single parent when he did not have to. When he forgave me for being a teenage mother..Grand? His love is grand. I'm going to remind him of that...not the first I've expressed it, but perhaps I can drive it home to him.
I pray 2009 is the year to heal. I want that so badly for all of us.

You know what I mean, even when my fingers move too fast.
