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.
....making single people feel like shit about themselves since the Middle Ages. And also, making perfectly good boyfriends look like jerks if they don't spend half their month's salaries.

Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower. My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings". When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker. She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me. I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...

My husband and I got our foster license last month, after 3 years of hard work (we had to start over multiple times due to family dramas and Mom's open heart surgery). We spent a year preparing the whole house, guest rooms, and children's bathroom for older kids of 7 yr old and up. Then we got a call that we have been approved to receive twin newborn premies. What, what?!! Babies!? Premies?!...

There's nothing to apologize for. Some people get flowers, cards, candy, a nice dinner, a gift or whatever, some don't. There's nothing wrong with sharing your day that made you feel loved and appreciated. Each of us spend different holidays, valentine's day, St Patrick's day, differently but, you needn't apologize for expressing what this day meant to you. I just wanted to state that I hoped I was a blessing by sharing some love and compassion for people who have no-one or who felt kind of alone in the Nursing Home. Many are widows and I just tried to being them cheer, make them laugh and know that they are loved.
Personally I love V-Day. I think it is a day to celebrate lovers. I'm single and I am really happy about the fact that there are loving couples in the world. I think they should celebrate.
Pee Wee to me...... thank you for your reply..... and you know I love you...... and you know that you are such a blessing to so many........ and what you did today was awesome...... that is love...... that is compassion....... that is what you do... I guess I just felt like me getting flowers and going out to dinner didn't belong on this post....... even though me going out was big for me because I don't like to go out....... I am sorry for what I said.... or that I made you feel bad in any way....... and this wasn't what the post was about......
I again apologize.
Hugs to you all...........

I don't believe this holiday is easy for most; Peace to all.
