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.
Thank you everyone who commented on my post last night. I made it through the night. But now I have another night to get through, and I just don't know how I'm going to do it. It just seems to be getting harder and harder to make it through.
When you're calmed down you might just be tired enough to fall asleep and that's a mighty fine way to make it through the night.
Getting sleepy myself, but wishing you good luck tonight. You are strong and a good person, you're capable and you've proved it by getting through last night and the night before and the night before THAT. Even if people aren't around to talk to you could read their kind words again tonight. Hope that helps.
Can you research classes or teachers.
Do you have a pdoc appt soon? Try and create an action plan to fight this low. Posting and reaching out is a great start.

I'm learning some CBT techniques that help, but there is a part of me that doesn't want to stop being scared and hurt, as if the pain will keep me vigilant and prevent bad things from happening. I think the truth is that the negative thoughts just ensure that bad things will happen, or at least that I will take things in a bad way, but knowing this and accepting a different attitude are two different things. Still, I'm working on it and hoping to get better at it.
Send me a message if you want to talk, I can listen too.
