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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I just got done reading your profile...you sound like a fabulous person w/a ton of interests and hobbies.
It sounds like you feel trapped and are in a lot of pain.
Do you have friends? People who share your hobbies?
Loneliness is terrible. Your marriage sounds lonely.
Do you take medicine for depression? If not, would you consider it?
It doesn't sound like you've had good luck w/therapists.
Sorry about all the questions--just trying to get a better handle on your situation.
W/B and fill me in. I do care

there is life out there for you. even if you just have to get the strength from your cats. what would they do if you were not around? think about that... do you think your jack--- husband would take care of them like you do? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! please know that there are people that care about you whether if they show it or not.please be kind to yourself. i have diabetes that are totally out of control and depression, and thyroid problems, and high blood pressure, high choelesterol,and back problems. i struggle everyday. my liver is severely damaged due to fact that my sugar levels are always high. but i try to get up each morning and try to live my day as if there were no tomorrow. when you say your prayers each morning ask GOD to lift your burdens off your shoulders. you know HE will.
