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'm surprising myself by starting this thread and I hope it won't cause further strife. I may not be able to explain myself well, but here goes nothing ...
Regarding the arguing of late, I've had the honour and opportunity to speak to, not all, but most of the ladies one-on-one. I've found them each to be wonderful, articulate, intelligent, insightful and caring individuals.
It's therefore unfortunate that a single topic has managed to incite such negative feelings to the point that rational discussion cannot be had. It hurts my heart to see such strong, wonderful women going up against one another in a manner which, on occasions, has been downright vicious.
Sometimes in reading the threads it's become very confusing as to who is trying to say what and I wonder if in the passion of voicing one's views that individual messages aren't getting los.
I'm not saying to stop the discussion of the topic, but perhaps to step away from it until cooler heads prevail.
Hugs and best to you all.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
Honestly, I do a little of both. I try to discern the venting of an emotional or mentally challenged person,or a person just having a bad day, or a person that is just mean-spirited or acting like an as@#!
I also know that I have the control whether I want to allow anyone to pull me into a non-healthy thread/communication/converstaion. I do THINK before I reply, even though it is my nature sometimes to be rightious and jump right into those bit#hing brawls.
Sometimes I just log out. I think your last paragraph says it all. And itis exactly what my marriage councelor says--take a break. Come back when you are logical, because that is the only time you make sense anywho!!
Kudos--you're ont he right track girlfriend!!

I can't help myself sometimes. I get wound up so easily and snap at people.
I never mean to offend, so if anyone ever think's I am out of line pm me and I will always try to take your comments on board.
I am never afraid to apologise if I have done wrong.
