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.
Hi... I'm new here. Me and my mom fight a lot. I think I'm a disappointment in her eyes. I rather party, do drugs, drink and smoke rather than work and be successful.... I've always struggled with addiction, anxiety/paranoia and confidence... Idk. I need help.
Just by realizing that you don’t want that lifestyle, that’s enough to start recovering!
I am a mother of three, I smoked pot daily and excessively for years (even during my first two pregnancies, I am not proud of that). I was sober for almost 7 years though. Now for the past two years I’ve barely smoked but been drinking more, I hate it. What I’m trying to get at is that we all struggle and I wouldn’t be disappointed with my kids if they struggled with something I would rather support them through the healing process. Maybe if you want to reach out to your mum and ask if she can help with rehab… I can’t ask for help with my drinking because who I’m living with (in laws) cause the stress for me to want to drink *sigh*
