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 have nothing substantial to add. I've taken to popping a sleeping pill just to pass out. I've strangely become afraid of the dark. Unbelievable. It would be a miracle if I died in my sleep. On the way, to and from work. A random angry and pointless murder, where I just happened to be Johnny-on-the spot. Drowning in the ocean. Anything really.
But when the bell rings...I'm fine. I'm focused. But I'd give anything if it would just end.

Check with your psychiatrist or primary physician about a sleep enhancer. I use Temazepam. You can get melatonin OTC as well as diphenhydromine (sp?)
Encountering senseless depressing events is common. I cannot read the newspaper because of all the negative news.
Learn what triggers your depressions and either avoid or ignore them.
