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.
I'm pretty big on making New Year's Resolutions! For many years, my resolutions have been the same three. Lose Weight. Clean House. Get a Boyfriend. I kept failing each year. Finally, on January 1, 2022, I started a diet/health journey, I decided that I was tired of failing on my weight loss and proceeded to lose 89 pounds. As to my house cleaning, I have gotten better but not there yet. As for a boyfriend, I joined 2 dating sites but no luck and truthfully, I am enjoying being single and doing what I want, when I want. Yesterday, as I was cleaning and feeling good about it, I decided that my New Year's Resolution to conquer this year is cleaning house and keeping it clean. That will be a great accomplishment! As to my weight, I have kept 86 pounds off. Last night, I listened to a song that I used to listen to in the 90s when I was madly in love with the bartender at work. It reminded me of how it feels to be in love and honestly, it hurt a little. My hope is to meet someone at the gym. There are guys my age at the Planet Fitness that I go to most of the time. I really don't pay attention to the dating sites. Do you make New Year's Resolutions? Do you conquer them? It's never too late to try again. My sister-in-law will be here at 8:30 a.m. to decorate and set my new Christmas tree uip. Yay!

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...

Here is my new brother, copper :) He's so tiny! Moo and Tuck were ok with him on first meeting. Rocket due to his severe aggression will never meet Cooper.
What's even greater is the fact that you are coming to realize that you didn't have to do these things but rather you chose to... and also the fact you can be content with or without a man (or simply playing the field)
I also make the list and usually the same 3, but for me I always fall short. Once again I am trying but just focusing on losing weight and becoming healthier. I am older now and with health issues. The sad thing is I know alot of what I need to do, but can give in to a funk and feeling hopeless. I (of course , screwed up on Thanksgiving but) am determined to try again as it is something I need to do to enjoy time I have left. I also understand that all the other stuff follows once I find that strength and determination.
To you I say congratulations and good luck.... and have fun putting up that tree.
PS I think you would do much better meeting up with someone you can see (as well as how he interacts with others) from gym or otherwise as opposed to somebody who can hide behind a screen and sometimes just say what they think you want to hear.
I just focus on working on myself and improving.
When I did use to do them I failed but when I don’t focus on it as say a New Year’s resolution I do better.
Mine is the diet as well..sigh
I wish everyone well...Maybe we should start a support post for the new year?
