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.
Hi everyone, I am new to this site and after reading some of your posts I feel so sad and tearful to hear all the difficulties you are dealing with and at first, I thought My stuff is not as bad, I shouldn't be here, then I thought actually, if I don't share these feelings of utter uselessness and sense of complete failure, then my story will get that bad. Hoping that I can help you change your story for the better as you help me change mine.
For example, time management and making good choices of using my time are my HUGE issue. Alcohol is not an issue for me at all; I can take it or leave it, and if I was told I could never drink alcoholic beverages again, not a big deal for me.
Other people have huge issues with alcohol, but time management is not an issue for them!
So as you feel more comfortable here, you can share more of your journey with us. You might find comfort from somebody who has no problem with your issues, or you may get significantly more help talking with somebody who is actively fighting the same issues you are!
So welcome to DS!
Gentle hugs
Do you want to talk about what's bringing you down? Maybe some other people here can add a fresh perspective. Maybe they will add something or maybe they'll galvanise you into realising you know best. Either is always better than neither. :D :D :D
