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.
Does anyone else have the problem of talking about your depression to so called councellors? I had to go to occupational health and talk to one, and I felt like I was talking to a piece of card with eyes that roamed the room. I don't think she was interested in me. Now though Im fine without her.

I agree some of them are not that professional. Once counsellor I saw told me I was too fat, no men could ever loved me and thats why I was depressed; Another one I saw 5 month, when I met her in the bus she hardly said hello and just ignored me, she was not even polite. Unfortunately, its hard to find good doctors, you just have to keep on trying :)

Yes. It's harder to talk in person than it is here because it's an actual person sitting there in front of you. You know they're trained, they've heard so many things about so many people, but it's YOU you're talking about, so it takes a leap of trust.

I have had this experience before. It isnt always like this though once you find a good one who acts interested and concerned with what you have to say.

I found it very difficult to talk to a councellor when i had to go. I gave up in the end and wrote down issues that bothered me and got on a lot better. I often got upset talking to my councellor but they didn't seem to have any sympathy or empathy at all. I even tried different ones and got the same reaction.

Your right sadeeyore, I have found chatting in here and writing my daily journal has helped more than any councellor.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
