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.
Hello Everyone, I am new to this site. It was recommended to my by my friend because she said it helped her a lot.
A little about me: I've been struggling on and off with depression, anxiety and low self-esteem for the majority of my life. In the past year, these have become increasingly difficult to manage after I moved to Omaha, NE and took a new position as a case manager following my graduation from Saint Louis University.
The position I took is rather stressful (emotionally and physically) and it demands a lot of my time. In addition to my stressful career, I lost an important relationship, and I've found it to be very difficult to make friends rather than just acquaintances.
Recently, I started to attend therapy once per week. I've attended two sessions of therapy. Thus far, it seems to be going well.
I look forward to talking and meeting with all of you. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment. Thank you! :)

Many of you know Mr K told me to "shut your mouth" in March 2025 when we took a road trip to Alpena Michigan. Since that time, we have had lots of ups and downs but I have never intentionally hurt Mr K in anyway. And when we first started dating in 2024 he let me know, although he is an engineer by degree, he has an extremely low EQ. Overall, he is ok (not off the charts nice like other guys in...

Hi BlueYonderDreams, Thank you for the welcome! :)
Thus far, I really like my therapist. He's really nice and understanding.
Helpful people on here that will relate and give ypu fantastic advice.
Take you vacation time, take your lunch time every day, take your sick days off if you need them (taking care of your mental health is taking care of your health). I can assure you that you will always have a case load and will never go down, so charity starts at home.
Anyway, welcome.
