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.
Hello...earlier this week I wrote the "This is Gross" post ...and I will not burden you with the details of that post...I do however have something to say...but first...I have to run to the bathroom-again!!!...BRB...
ok...so I am back...back to what I was saying about my post: I received more replies than I expected considering the grossness of the post...but I thank those who responded for your care and concern...
quick update on the situation - the next night, after writing the post...my husband and I were intimate and it was great and all...BUT...when we finished, I realized the bed was WET...apparently, I had an 'accident' and didn't even realize it!!!...HOW EMBARRASSING!!!...No, he didn't mention it or anything, but I KNOW it was me!!! UGH!!!...
So anyway, back to my other post - I guess I really wasn't asking for advice or suggestions...I know this is a symptom of something serious BUT I don't like going to the doctor/er...It just me...and even if I decided to go, I can't because I don't have insurance and I don't have any money...
So needless to say, I feel like I am about to IMPLODE into a serious bout of depression - I was supposed to go to a motorcycle rally last weekend - didn't go ...this weekend is UTSA Family Weekend and my Aunt's 93 Surprise Birthday/Family Reunion - and I can't go to either...and today, well - today I just don't want to do anything except sleep...although I have a LOT to do...I just don't have the energy or the motivation to do anything but lay in bed and wallow in self-pity!!! UGH!!!
I HATE THIS DAMN DEPRESSION THING...IT JUST SUCKS!
OK...that's all for now...I'm going back to bed!!!

These might be med side effects, some sort of gluten intolerance or maybe the side effect of formerly severe trauma. I have heard that seratonin can affect the system that works with digestion and bowel movements.
Beyond the "gross" lies a serious problem that needs addressing.
The Depression board appears to me to be quite awesome and I believe that we are here to support you.
Super hugs,

Believe me, NOBODY hates going to the doctor more than me, but sometimes you just have to suck it up and do it. As mollgirl says, there are free and low-cost clinics that you could go to. I have found that those places usually are much more kind, friendly and respectful; you're treated with more care than at the big, expensive doctor's offices. Just go in and tell them what's going on; if you feel too uncomfortable you can always leave. But please at least give it a shot.
OK, no more nagging! ;) I do hope you feel better, and that your depression lifts. It sucks to be depressed, that's for sure.
