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.

A few days ago I said some things about members of this community that were not positive. I referred to you as a "group" whom if some people are not a part of, they get ignored. While this was said in confidence to my wife, I should have not said it at all. You know, the old, if you have nothing nice to say...... Anyhow, I said that out of frustration. I have a very hard time telling anyone how I feel, much less strangers. I then get upset easily when people don't respond to what little I do write as quickly as I might think they should. I think it is a self esteem issue that goes way back with me. So, I then see other people being responded to, see how quickly my wife was accepted, and feel "ignored" when it doesn't happen for me. This leads to increased depression, and you know the rest. Please accept my apology to each and every one of you. What I said was wrong and hurtful. I see that there are many kind and caring people on this site who are doing their best to help people while dealing with their own issues. I wish you all the best. I see what Always meant about hanging out here too much. It gets to you. You will not see me here under this username after Monday or Tuesday. I asked Doug to close my account after seeing that what I had said was put out there for others to see. I will probably be back, but under a different name.

I wasn't here to see what was said or how it was reacted to, but you shouldn't let one thing keep you away. This is a community of people who are 1. Depressed 2. Willing to seek help from others like us 3. Willing to share our own opinions and accept others opinions with out trouble.

It is our classic trait of being depressed to take EVERYthing too seriously. Don't feel bad. Just know you are NOT alone.

i am the queen of feeling ignored and complaining about it. every time someone points out someting that could be a need on the site, even if all dont agree, is an important thing. it gets folks thinking about how to "do it better". you are not the first to feel left out and probably wont be the last, but at some point we might get better at helping all feel welcome. sorry if people responded negatively to your post( again, i have been guilty of that as well) but even with negative responses come thought and often change. welcome back to the site when you return.

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...
