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.

You go ahead and grieve all you want ... but DO NOT HARM YOURSELF. It would be the biggest mistake imaginable.
I am sorry your 'family' does not understand ... but it doesn't matter if they do or not ... would not ease the pain ... would it?
I would not tell you to 'get over it' ... but DO NOT HARM YOURSELF because you WILL GET OVER IT .... and you have MANY,MANY years for more relationships, adventures, women, prosperity, ... everything that LIFE offers EVERYONE. DO NOT CUT THAT SHORT ... my Ace friend. This will pass, and you have too much to lose by checking out.
