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.
that is the question. I just saw the thread "what is wrong with you people" and was pretty shocked by the thread AND the responses.
When did it ever become a rule that a person can't post what they are feeling? Why is it so hard to by pass threads that you are not compfortable with or don't want to deal with?
The holidays are a stressful time, and many things bother many people, from suicide to money to many other things. I myself stay away from the suicide threads as much as possible, I cannot deal with someone wanting to kill themselves, especially after having a good friend kill themself two days after Christmas, but on the flip side, I would never tell anyone they were posting a suicide thread for attention.
Guys, Girls, Whatever you are, use your judgment, and if a thread is not something you can or want to deal with, move on to one you can. There are enough people on this site and enough threads to read, it is not necessary to deal with something you are not compfortable with.
Have some compassion, that is all I am asking, and please don't judge.
If the mood strikes you, report away.

Can I also add that if you do read the post it is important to read all the replies even though it is time consuming. Often times the tone of the post as changed through out the disccusion. Someone may have aplogised for example. That way you have a better idea of how things are unfolding and you can respond accordingly. This works for me:)

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...
