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 don't think anybody here really remembers me, because I used to post here, but not that often.
and things have gotten WAY better since then.
I've branched out from who I used to be. I started believing in myself. and now, I'm really happy that I did. I'm more accepting of people and have amazing friends. I joined a co-ed sorority, and now they're my second family. I'm taking on leadership in band next year and couldn't be more excited.
and one of the best things? I have an amazing boyfriend. I thought this day would never come, but I now realize, that I am lovable. My first real boyfriend at 19 years, four months going strong.
One of the most important things that these people have all taught me is that it's okay to laugh at little things. and it's okay to cry. Somebody will listen to you. Don't be afraid to talk. And even when you think nobody wants to hear your problems, go for it. It's a really bad idea to bottle things up. Some people are WAY more understanding than you might think.
and yes, there are some people you can't trust.
but a little self confidence can go a long way :)
hope everyone is doing great.
I'm here if you EVER need anybody to talk to.
I've been through a lot of this, and got over it (for the most part).
I still have problems every once in a while.
but you can still talk to me. I'm here.
