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.
just talkin ...thought this might help others
it is ok....we all think and sometimes try to do it...but we rarely succeed coz we really dont wanna die....i took myself of 2 of my meds a couple of weeks ago and i crashed bad......i wanted to give up and was so down that when i think of it now it is hard to believe......i wanted to take my hubby and my baby dog with me...that is how stupid i was, even writing about it makes me feel sorta ashamed.....but how the hell could i kill my little dog and what if she died and i didnt and how the hell was i gunna get hubby to come too !....sittin here remembering that is so surreal and i cant imagine feeling that low but i did and was ! i spent a lot of time just sittin on the floor talkin to myself and crying like i was breaking in two...there was nothing bad happening in my life that triggered all this it was just lack of some chemical....so being correctly medicated can be important to a lot of people.
and then if we let time pass and talk to someone we come to the point where we are feeling a bit better.....i told my doctor coz i wanted him to know exactly how down and out i could become...i wanted him to see how very real this depression anxiety was....and how very important medication was and how we had to get it right... we had to get that imbalance of chemicals in my brain fixed...i didnt want to think of killing myself all the time !
i took a box of valium washed down with beer when i was 24 and ten minutes later i panicked and ran to a neighbour for help...an ambulance came and took me to hospital and i had my stomach pumped by a nurse i went to school with...i felt like shit...they kept me over night and i had to go see a shrink the next day and he wasnt any help....i went to my own gp and he helped me heaps and i am still here....thank god !
so get help and let time pass is my motto.

Ace post :) Tis very true... when people get to the point of suicide, they cant think for tomorrow let alone today but things DO get better... you just have to give them the chance but how can you if youre already dead. ALWAYS, always talk to someone...it will pass and you will live to fight another day and someday soon...live to laugh again and be happy :)

i tried to commit the big s a couple of times before I finally pulled out of it. The first time i took two bottles of sleeping pills and the second i mixed alot of alcohol with pills and all i got was a terrible hangover. It was then that I figured out that it was not my time to go. No matter how much I wanted to leave or how hard I tried it wasn't just my time.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
