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.
There's far too much pain in this world than there is joy, or even satisfaction. There's no point to life, other than to go through mostly shitty times, with some fleeting moments of beauty along the way.
I know there is nothing we can do about it, but I just want to write it out anyway because it's in my head. Get this paradox: I don't want to live, but I'm scared to die. Tell me how fucked up that one is. So, as a result I'm trapped.

It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
I was must thinking the same thing as I woke up this morning though. There is so much pain in the world. Life doesn't make a lot of sense, but here we are.
Seems like the only true joy and meaning to be found is in love and relationships if one is lucky enough to have that in there life. And maybe also in helping those in need. I get some satisfaction out of helping animals.
But yea, life is unbelievably hard most of the time.
Very sad.
The other day I was in a store. A woman left a bag in the chair of the shoe department and walked away. I looked in the bag, it was expensive cosmetics. Now, I could have taken it and walked away. But no, I'm not that kind of person. So I bring it to the Cashier and say someone left this there. The woman comes running out, IT"S MINE---- Do you think this b--- even thanked me? I could have stole it!! This is what it's turned into. My sister advised me not to say anything to her b/c people are crazy now.
The sad thing is that there is no escape. We don’t know if might be even worse beyond death, so that doesn’t seem like a logical path.
Then, we have so many responsibilities in this life, that we can’t just walk away from everything. We are trapped and that is agonizing.
Praying for everyone’s safety and all of us will stay strong.
