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.

Darkness Visible 03/31/2013
Torn and twisted, tortured, sordid, tainted, turning mind.
Darkness, dankness, depths of sorrow, desperate search to find.
Some sort of light or way to climb back up out of the abyss.
Need some rope or tools to assist me on my quest.
On the borderline, on the ledge, on the verge, on the precipice, teetering over the edge.
Too easy to tip over, too easy to fall down, too easy to go over, to easy to jump and make no sound.
Reach out- then rejected. Reach out then ignored.
Ask for help then no one listens. Scream for help and no one cares
So tired of the exhausting ascension. So tired of getting kicked back down. Hard to look forward to tomorrow, when you know this will always be around.
Hope to summon my inner strength, to stand back up on my own two feet. Will make this life more constant, more solid, more livable.
But will always be vigilant, on the lookout for darkness visible.

89FToday it is again another hot day but cooler then yesterday. Since this is August it is to be expected in my neck of the woods. All the grass is yellow and flowers are starting to go to seed. I need to water my garden but this time of the year I'm so over it, which is weird because all my plants have their fruit or veggies.Sandra, this time of year reminds me of your Dad and his toms. We'd...

I am sorry I haven't been online to respond to your earlier post, I will try to get to you today. I am pretty sure you didn't get many answers to your paradigm shift post and I am guessing part of this poem is referring to that. Yes?
I too, know exactly what you are saying in this poem as do many others here. That is why we are here.
I got your back!
Take care~BB
