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.
you see, i've tried to make posts every now an then - to say how i feel. but it seems like thats all there is on DS. how we feel.
the good that its done me is to see things from a different perspective sometimes, but it doesnt change the situation.
and with that, to change my situation i need to be active; i need to be on the go and at least try something. but i dont have any energy. im not joking. its serious.
baby steps they say, do something relaxing they say - like "meditating", or taking care of yourself and putting on a bit of lippy to feel better.
and if that doesnt help, ring your therapist or a helpline... i have rung childline four times - thats unlike me. i am also seeing mental health services but not regularly. but they refuse me medication, and my psych laughs at me when im sarcastic. im only like it because they arent understanding - but what can i say?
i cannot be an active role in my own life because - and i know this is long but hear me out. i am sat here everyday in my room doing nothing, i have nothing. i try and plan my day only to be overcome with the realisation i have nothing to plan. i have been out once today and i motivated myself. but i have no friends, no boyfriend, everyone is indifferent towards me, my family? not going there, i dont live with them - and the saddest thing is its not just my perception.
this is real. this is happening. and im stuck here. in this room. its been 4 months. im suprised im not mad yet. 4 months. what can i do? theres no advice needed. i guess i just wanted to prove sometimes there is nothing you can do

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??

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...
and at least you made it outside today. since the Fire Dept.pager was quiet today... I 've been to McDonalds for dinner.. I'm too lazy/scared to go to gracery store. I know exactly what you are saying
The worst vice is:
advice.
