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.

In the past year I have lost a close friend, my dad, and now a baby. My health has gotten worse. At first the doctors said I was crazy but now they realize something is wrong but can't figure out what. I pass out and get very dizzy. I can't work or do normal activites. Feeling very overwhelmed.

You have been through an extreme amount of trauma over the past year. Anyone who had gone through that kind of loss would experience difficulty functioning. If possible, you should try to see a psychiatrist and get treated for grief and anything else that has manifested as a result of your trauma.

I have had so much bloodwork done. Military doctors only have 20 minutes to see each patient so they don't really listen. I have seen a few different doctors and they are all the same. Finally got an appointment set up for cardiology. I went in to get anxiety medication because I was having palpations and thought it was a panic attack. I was told I don't need anything and then when I was in the hospital they asked me about it and said my problems were psychological. Sorry but I can't make my legs turn purple or cause my heart to race only when I stand up.

It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
