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.
Here goes. So at the tender young age of 39 I had my very first panic attack. The depression followed shortly. My life was turned into some kind of black hole. I haven’t been on here since August. Since then I started over. Quit my job, moved twice. Health problems etc. Thebfumny thing is I’m basically back in the same situation I was in back then. Same type of job same, went back to the same house. It’s funny cause last year I wanted out. I was pretty close to giving up. Yet here I am in the exact same management job, different company but same exact motions. I would never have thought I would have a smile on my face again. Yet here I am and I have that smile. Sure things get hectic and I have that cloud start to form overhead. The only thing that’s different now is I know I can do something else. It was a great fear that if I tried to start over, I wouldn’t have the strength left in me. I was stronger than I gave myself credit for. I’m not some special being. I’m just like everyone else. And if I can do it so can you.
