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 am facing foreclosure on my house. Bankruptcy is around the corner. My marriage of 26 years is over and I have been divorced now just under 9 months. My life sounds like it should be a shambles yet I am not suffering right now with my depression. Here's why ...
First my ex wife is now a good and trusted friend. My family and I are as close together as ever before. This includes having my baby sister living with me now. She is so awesome !!! I am close to being able to retire. My job is relatively secure and is a darn good job to have. So while there are plenty of challenges for me , there are plenty of blessings as well. Reagrdless of what happens to me right here and now I am as happy as ever. I am lucky to have my family , friends and my job. I am lucky to know what true blessings really are. I just thought I would share something positive. You folks here at DS are treasures. I am especially lucky to be able to share things openly and honestly with all of you. May all of you have days filled with wonders and miracles.

Yes. I too believe it is possible to dig out of the hole even when your life feels like a house of cards falling down around you.
I am grateful for so many things despite the crappy stuff. I've just come out of a Debbie Downer slump recently, and I am grateful I am not depressed all the time.
I am so lucky to have a roof over my head that is paid for and my DH to share it with
I have a small circle of friends that let me be who I am and don't get sick of me too fast when I am down.
I have several great BFFs I can pretty much talk about anything with.
I have two beautiful cats and two beautiful horses to tell my troubles to.
Makes the other stuff bearable!
you know I love you to pieces.
