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.
im tired. Walking home from work tonight and the thoughts of stepping out into the road at the wrong time we’re all consuming. I wouldn’t do it, partly, mainly because that wouldn’t be fair to the drivers. But the thoughts scared me. I don’t want to leave. But I don’t want to carry on living, feeling like this. I’m getting weaker by the day and I’m not sure how long I can keep up.
When I first started driving I was terrified because every time I drove over a bridge I thought about driving over it. I still do sometimes.
Do you have a therapist or anyone you can talk to? Whether you do or not please message me if you ever want to talk about anything at all!
Think of a reason to keep living, it can be as simple as a new episode of your favorite TV show is coming out next week, and when you get there think of a new one. Find the reasons why living is worth it.
What else can be smiled upon? Do something you can enjoy, like make a card for a friend or even for a random person at work. (Giving others a reason to smile makes me feel good too). Or try this - tape a compliment to yourself on your bathroom mirror, whether you feel deserving of it or not, and change it or add to it every couple of days.
You are a warrior, fighting depression, but not giving in.
Hugs!
