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.
Was in hospital last week for two days as had pneumonia and the flu. Saw my doctor yesterday and got a clean bill of health. Should be happy right? But not. You see I'm disabled and paralized on left side so have 24/7 aides. Out of 4 I'm down to 1. I knew when having these 20 year olds who like to party I would be in trouble but took a chance an now I'm fucked! (sorry) I'm entitled to light housekeeping besides the help with daily routines. If I don't do myself it doesn't get done so now I'm even more depressed. I need to use bathroom but scared to ask. Want to make a toasted bable but not suppose to use toaster as get burned. I guess ceral for me!

Hello- I am new to the group

Tell that person your needs. If you need to go to bathroom, ask for help.
That's what they are there for! Are these aides from an agency? Try to get
older aids.
