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 feel like there have been a lot of crazy events and situations happening recently and now I'm finally getting some time to process and think about them.
I started therapy again, which is hard for me because I got diagnosed with anxiety, which I already knew I had, but not with depression. It's hard to open up about things to someone I don't know or trust.
Overall, things are going a little bit better. I had a great opportunity to join a major, and was accepted immediately. I am feeling excited about it.
I am starting to make new friends. Slowly, but surely. I feel like I am trying to put myself out there, which is hard. But I am finding new friends through church, and since we have some things in common, it's helped a lot.
This group has really helped me out. I feel support and love and I just wanted to thank everyone for that. I also just wanted anyone who is struggling to know that things do get better. Slowly, and sometimes just in small moments, but I feel like it gets a little better every day. I am so grateful for all the good in my life right now, and I want everyone struggling with depression to know that you are not alone. You can do it.
Belonging to some kind of group or organization really helps a lot, b/c you can form bonds that way since there's other people there w/the same interests.
Glad to hear!
