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 joined this board because nobody around me knows the problems i have, and the only person who does doesnt need to hear me going on about something they dont understand, so i came for support of people who knew what was going on and who felt like me.
Iv been here a few months and have made some amazing friends but now i have no clue who is who and who is genuinely concerned about others, yes depression can be a selfish illness, it can mess with your mind and make u say things which u may not mean in the morning, but sometimes u need to get things of your chest and when there is no1 around to do it then 2 me a perfect place seems to be a depression board, where every1 knows slightly how someone feels.
I normally keep quiet and just pm the people who i can see need me but now im so confused and slightly cheesed of, i had to publicy say something as to the horror of some of the crap that comes out...when people r suicidal,they could be genuine or not, we dont know and as caring human beings surely we cant take the chance that someone may b bluffing and we certainly cant judge those who we dont know personally, all it takes is some nice words to try and help or non at all, we dont need to be told we are this n that cuz lets face it we already probably think shit of ourselves anyway, we need positivism all round.
This will probably attract an argument but for those responses that contain crap and foul mouth, there will be no reply so theres no point wasting your breath, however, those that do care or need me..message back or pm me anytime it seems that we cannot voice our problems on the board publicly anymore :-(

Well said. the weekends are really bad for the depression forum, as there is no one from DS to monitor people like - well i don't need point out the obvious unkind people... so, don't give up, there are some sincerely good people trying to help each other.

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...
