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 want to share with you a conversation I just had with my friend:
Me:
im feeling shit i doesnt wanna do the therapy bollocks with this guy hes awful
Friend:
well, you need to do it, if you didn't you wojldn't have made the appointment
Next to my mum, you're the strongest woman i know honey, it'll be ok
Me:
how the hell do you think im strong
Im weak as water
Friend:
water is by far the strongest substance on earth
it carves the earth and moves moutains
we all rely on it.
And you are strong
You've had alot of heartache and pain in yoru life, and you're still here.
That alone makes you strong.
Don't put yourself down, you're more powerful than you think
----------------------------------------------------
We sometimes have a perception of ourselves that isnt shared by those around us. Sometimes we need to take a step back and consider our weaknesses may only be in our mind and that they can be transformed into something powerful.
My life has been hard so far and its hurt but its made me who I am. I am more compassionate and caring because of it. Perhaps its time for us to all consider out strengths. We have more than we think.

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...
BTW, you from Britain? Between "bollacks" and "weak as water" (good old Mrs. Slocombe) I'm guessing you are
For me it depends on how I m feeling for the day..."strong" could make me smile, or "strong" could push the claws out...
