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 am functioning. I have so much on my plate with my own disability, and a daughter with Down Syndrome, a husband who had to marry me because I got pregnant, a little girl who breaks out in lesions because of anxiety.
I didn't ever think about getting married. But after having my son, I at least wanted to cohabitat. I did it all for my son, changed, stayed with his father because he was a good man.
It hurt alot all thru my marriage. My mental illness got worst and I gained 100 pounds with 3 pregnancies.
My son is 19 now and just flunked out of college. He is home and I love him very much. He tells me I am pushy because I try to direct him. Tonight I told him he had to fill out a questionaire for financial aide because in order to go to another college, he needed an exit interview.
My husband says he is frustrated with me because I lose all his things. I am frustrated with him but he is like me...not organized. And he procrastinates.
My husband and him, it feels like they are ganging up on me.
I had to more babies because of that lack of connectiveness withy my husband and John at 5 years old. It happened by accident but I wanted my down syndrome baby. she gives me so much love. Its her birthday today.
Because of my disability I have had alot of trouble with consistent parenting and my husband was too lax.
I have to get these kids to go out for a walk with their dad 3x a week. He doesn't want to take them. I have to help them lose weight but guess who is stuck doing all the dishes and housework.
I only ask little jobs from my kids. I am getting sick of going into the anger and depressed mode because of disrespect. I told them I want to go away for a weekend but the little one cries no, don't leave me mommy. (My husband took her away from me when she was 2 and she got sick and still is to this day with a skin disease)
My meds are wellbutrin, but he added adderal and prozac because I did nothting but sleep and eat. I am doing a little better. It is very difficult being a mother and although I know I did "the right thing not having abortions" I told myself in my 20s I would never have children because of my depression and mental illness.
I feel like fucking shit. Please help me.
