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.
I’ve had a good few weeks. Just kept cool when things started going south. It went south anyway. It’s funny that I can cope for a time, but then start to feel like this again. I never thought that I was fine, and I was aware that I could end up back here. I just didn’t think it would be so soon. I thought maybe I turned a corner, that I had a better handle on things. Sure it’s discouraging, and I’ll pout for a few days. I will try again. The only thing I’m afraid of is what happens when that time to try comes again and I can’t answer the bell. Every battle with depression takes a bit out of me. I don’t know what I have left in the tank so to speak.
When the good days turn into weeks (plural = weekS), I stop and pat myself on the back for how far I've come .. only to fall so hard on my face. Sigh. Repeat.
Take stock.
