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.
Echo-ing the encouragers, if you have not seen a counselor or a therapist yet, please do consider seeing one. Vocalising it may help you to cope better. Meanwhile, please keep your writing coming in. We are here and we are listening. Prayed for you.
Lots of suicides/deaths on my father's side, so that I grew up without any relatives on his side, and scumbag relatives on my mom's side; my parents were lowlifes too.
Take very good care of yourself, starting now, be selfish, you come first---you don't want to end up at age 58, like me.
Good luck.
