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.
I just found this site today, I have looked at others before but have never joined nor posted. I am not good at reaching out, but I know I need some sort of help/friends. Friends is something I lack, I have 1 really good friend of almost 20 years but she has her own life too. I have my mom as well, but she is so pro daughter that true support gets clouded. So here I am.
I just started back on Prozac after being off for quite a few years, I thought I had a handle on it but after the last few months I know I do not.
I had a wonderful boyfriend, we were living together when I started feeling down then things started happening and it just all fell apart. I was so mean to him and then 2 weeks ago I come home to find him gone. we have communicated slightly but I feel bad how I treated him, he says that he was getting and is depressed as well. Then my cat died last weekend, and I am losing my house. and other things going on. I feel like the walls are closing in on me and I have no control. I don't know what to do. I feel so sad and alone. The Prozac has helped with the crying but I know it won't fix my personal problems.
I am sorry for rambling on. I don't know what I am looking for, I just know I ended up here.

At least your in good company and amoung friends. When we say "I know how you feel" trust me....we do!
welcome!
I feel your struggle and pain very keenly...We will be here to hold on to and get you through...For a bunch of broken down folks, there is definitely a lot of strength here...Which may be something we all should consider about ourselves...We do have strength...and with that we can find hope...
Those are all legitimate reasons to feel depressed and you should ramble on as much as you please. No one is stopping you here. :)
I'll just tell you like I've told just about everyone, to keep your head and your faith up. Hang in there, because things DO get better. Even once you feel like you've reached the bottom, the only way you can go now is up!
