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 have been under way too much strain lately. I'm not feeling well. I am worried it's the cancer. I have an appontment in a month. I don't even know if i can get in sooner or if i ever want to. I'm so tired. I can't take anymore strain.
Still taking care of mom, just took in a feral cat cuz he was basically going to die if I didn't, non stop caretaking, my own stuff.
I reached to both of my siblings a few days ago about my mom and her health stuff, wrote a very nice informative email and got no reply from either. I have been her primary caretaker for the last 9 months. While I was sick and had two surgeries with neither of their help and no reply. Not even a thank you. Wow. It's not the first time they've done something like this but it is so demoralizing and hurtful. I wanted their family input too about my mom because it's hard to be the only one dealing with her medical stuff and her doctors and everything.
Then I reached out to a cousin and a counsellor and a woman I know here somewhat about going for a walk. No one has replied yet. Well the counsellor did but said she was full.
I'm just very discouraged. I feel so unloveable, so unlikeable, so awful.
I feel really sad. I have an aunt too who knows my situation and she didn't reply to several email i sent her over the last month or so. they were casual and friendly. I feel completely used and scapegoated by my family.
It really hurts. Feels so empty. Thank you for listening. This is the only place I can go and people will show me kindness and validation.
I feel like people in the real world don't even treat me like I am human. Especially my own family.

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
That on top of your health....no wonder you are so low.
I will be holding on to hope for you and you are in my prayers always.
You are such a good person.
You don't deserve any of this.
