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 don't know if some of You have read or heard my story,
All started 40-some Years ago, I met this family with a mentaly ill son, he had a sister, But what he really wanted was a little brother, someone he could teach stuff to, and look up to him.
I was only 5 when all began, so I diid't know what was going on,
the family could have told me as I got older.......Instead his father would come over and say, his son says this about this that about that.....IS THAT TRUE??? Well, If his son didn't agree with me, they would bring him over....speaking incohearent gibbrish.....screaming at me (This all happened in my teen years) This went on for a few Years.
His sister asked, well not asked, I got "can he post" A guitar video (not doing anything) This was four years ago.
Just thinking about all this......And 30-some years ago, has making me feel alot of depression symtoms lately And part of the reason why I can't sleep without pills.
I know all this is ridiculuos to think about.
Today, I just feel worthless, And just want to talk....Namely to theese people, who have never wanted to talk about it, But need to talk to someone before I go crazy.
I have been feeling feeling's worthlessness, Sometimes, not alot, But today was one of those days.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.

But, I am not Judging them, I know him And I have issues myself (Physical) Judging him, would be a pre-conception of him before getting to know him
And I know I need to forget about this nonsense........And get out of my head.
My fear is now (started thinking about this) They live in Lancaster Now, I'm starting to they might be doing/did this to another family.
You are worthy ...This father was wrong to talk to you like that
I don't know what it was all about but you feel the way that you feel
Back then you thought as a child and it sounds like that inner child still hurts
you've worked in the mental-health field right?
You know You have to go along with their delusions.
That was wrong of the father to do.
I also think.......he knew his son would react that way, temper tantrums gloating......ETC. And kept on getting me job's, So I would forget about all this, and didn't say anything, so he wouldn't get introuble.
And Your right my inner child is still hurting.
Kiwasicu, Can't even wright a letter, His sister even said on Facebook "keep You discomfort to Yourself" Everyone is protecting him, Even my own mother
The father groomed his daughter, AND I know Was groomed, Cause I friended the guy on Facebook I got a message on chat telling me how well his son was doing (not sure if it's grooming or what) but said: If he had a business I would be first man he would hire.
I was always a huge deal to him.
So finally, thinking about, These people aren't really active on facebook......I un-friended the father and his daughter, thinking it alleviate the anxiety,
I know I need to let it go....And did for 30-some years, But ever since his sister (we were friends on facebook for 15 years) Just 4 year's ago........."can he post?" Like she was asking my mother.
I stumbled on to an earlier post, where she called me by my name, David, So, I think that's kind of odd.
abhimanyu: I am trying to look past this, I am doing anything I can to forget about this.
I am trying to educate myself on the subject,
Playing guitar and enjoying life, I still see scenarios in my mind, But working on it
Thanks everyone for listening!.
I Missunderstood Your post, I thought You meant, wright a letter and send it to them. I re-read You post, Wright a letter and set on fire. cool I will try that.
It is PTSD, I have read about it.
The family is avoiding us, And I am avoiding them.
My Mother is friend's with their daughter on Facebook, and has made comment's on her kids, And her brother,,,,,,Who is mentally Ill, She has never liked the comments, or said thank You.
So, she is avoiding us, And has become very distant.
Her Brother has always been confused on things, Like Being humble, He thought since he was older then me, He shouldn't have to be humble but I should.........Didn't understand what setting a good example really meant.
I was over at his house often when I was a kid, He got confused.....And thought him and I were really related, that's how bad he wanted a little brother.
I am sorry U are dealing with PTSD, So am I, And am trying to forget about this thing.
The only reason I started thinking about it again, When his sister, wanted me to post myself playing guitar, instead of asking me, David, can You Post Yourself Playing guitar, I'd love to hear You, or something like that.......Instead I got "CAN HE POST" Like she was asking my mother.......I think when people put it like that, They want You to do them a favor.......These people have always wanted people to "HUMOR" their son.....
So, thinking about this video, and him, I decided not to do it, Cause, if he see's it, All hell would probably break loose, They would bring him over to confront me, Cause maybe, it's not the kind of music he likes, or I can't know how to play guitar, or what Chord's are, He hasn't taught that to me yet.
,
So, he understands what a big brother's roll is, but just doesn't know how tell the person..
Sorry if Your confused, that's just the best way I know how. to explain it.
