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.
This is a serious post to apologize to any I have offended on the boards. I am having a rough time at home trying to get my sister to grow up and realize how some of her comments are nasty at best. She remembers all her problems, and sometimes tends to forget others in this household have problems as well. I recently had been stung by a remark of hers that was inconsiderate, regarding my low vision. I tripped over something she left lying around and hurt myself. When I asked her to please put her stuff away, she snapped and said I should watch where I am going. (Nice comment to say to someone who is legally blind.) Anyway, that is basically the type of treatment I get around here at home, and why I have been grouchy and snappish lately. I truly am sorry to anyone I may have hurt lately. Now back to reading more jokes. (It's how I cope with this sucky life of mine.)

Thanks pixiedst. I guess I need to vent sometimes. Just 10 minutes ago my sister started whining and getting on my nerves, because I and my brother did some work to make it easier for me to get in and out our sliding door in the back of the house. We feed the birds and squireles, and tend to get a lot of them, so buy our feed in bulk. Well this means we have about half a dozen bags of food sitting by the doors (a tripping hazard for me). So my brother and I emptied the bags in a large bin, and put a medium sized old sauce pot I never use inside to use as a scoop. Well you should of heard her bitch about that. Now she comlanes we never consult her. What the heck!!!! We did something useful to make the place less dangerous for me, and she just has to bitch about it. I swear.... I truly want to clabber her some times. All I can add is it's a good thing I don't have a gun, because I'd have used it on her by now!!!

I just wish my sister would use her brains sometimes before opening her mouth and making those comments. And she's the one who always is reminding me and everyone els around how much smarter she and my brother (who I have no complaints about) are than me because because they had further education than just high school. I could have gone to college. I even received a invitation from Thunder Bay University to apply to their arts program because one of my teachers sent them a sample of some of my art work. The only reason I did not go was because I was to ill, and needed to have many years of surgery to deal with a bone deformity. I had no insurance at the time, and the cost of the meds I needed wiped out my bank account over a three year time. It just makes me mad that she tries to constantly put me down and treat me like an idiot.

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...
