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.
Here are some pieces I wrote when i was going through some of my ups and downs. I hope some of them help you understand your not alone in how you feel.
Human Nature
___________
In a world of hatred
Harsh Words are spoken
Souls destroyed
Fragile hearts broken
Battered and bruised
Hurt and abused
Emptyness consumes
Death exhumes.
Realism
_____
We strive to succeed, we will always fail
We try to be good but evil prevails
We can hope and be consumed by dispair
We can love but never care
We can fly but down we'll come
Life is never good for some
The sun will shine, the rain will pour
When we have less, we'll never have more.
All Grown Up
__________
I always wanted to be big
I wanted to be tall
But now that I am all grown up
I just want to be small
The simple things that brought such joy
Have forever gone away
And never will there come again
An opportunity to play
I miss so much my tiny toys
And staying up late at night
Cos everything is such hard work
And never goes quite right.
Stand out from the crowd
_____________________
Why is the world so dark and lonely?
Why is there so much pain and heartbreak?
Why is greed the common emotion?
Why do some people only take?
My heart bleeds when children starve
When families and friends are torn in half
Innocents are the first to die
Never given a chance to say goodbye
Hold out your hand to those in need
Open your ears and hear their plead
Think of others before yourself
How many times could you have helped?
Is it so hard to go without?
When one voice can become a shout
Stand up, be seen, dont fade away
And we may live to see a better day!

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...
______
The door is open
The darkness seeps through
As my eyes grow accustomed
I see a figure of you
Your hand reaches out
To cradle my face
But as our eyes connect
We're floating in space
Far in the distance
A mocking bird sing
And in the corner of nothing
Nothing begins
Some of my stuff is a little sad. Ive got some angry pieces too and more sad ones but I didnt want to put them on here in case they upset people too much
I have a christmas one too that ones not sad
Santa's Snowman
______________
As the first snow of Christmas begins to fall
Santa works on rolling a ball
He builds a snowman fat and round
As the snow lies deep upon the ground
He gives him a hat to show he's the best
But someone is jealous. Who? Can you guess?
When Santa returns from his grand Christmas Chore
He discovers a suprise has been waiting in store
He notices something just isnt quite right
His wonderful snowman is yellow not white
But Rudolph is happy and wearing a grin
He knows he soon, will be favourite again.
___________
All my life I've felt so sad
Dreaming of what I never had
Wanting joy I could not see
Wanting someone to love just me
But through it all I had a friend
Who stuck by me round every bend
Someone for who life is also rough
But uses it to make him tough
Now Ive opened up my eyes
Taken in the deep blue skies
Saw the love that was always there
Somebody who'd always care
Realised I loved him too
Loved him through and through and through
Loved every inch of his perfect skin
Felt something wonderful begin
We stand together proud and strong
Knowing where we each belong
Loving each other through all time
Im always his and he's always mine
God's Gift
_______
As the grey clouds fill the sky
The simple mourning for the men that died
The bleeding hearts of wives and mothers
The selfish who dont care for others
The silent tears that sting our eyes
The empty souls and sad goodbyes
The children torn away from love
All brought on by God above.
