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.
Often times I read at DS about people who really are alone and depressed and I feel like I have no right to be so unhappy and withdrawn from depression when I have two wonderful, supportive people I live with who are always there for me----my husband and my son. Why do I still feel alone even though I'm not? It seems like I'm just ungrateful for what I do have and need to appreciate things more rather than focusing on so much negativity. Yes I feel bad that they both have to put up with me and my not helping much around the house or getting much of anything done. I often think about how happy they would be if they had a normal person for a mom and wife rather than having me with all of my problems. Thanks for listening.
What you described above has helped me in the past though, considering those less fortunately than myself when I really look at my life, sometimes it still feels so empty though.
Maybe there is another aspect of your life that needs dealt with that you just aren't seeing yet?
