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.
not doing well. very sad, down, exhausted. no interest in doing anything at all. been there done that syndrome. nothing works syndrome. barely hanging on to job. health declining. the daily struggle is becoming too much for me. that's fairly new. i mean, i'v had trouble getting through the day before, it's been very tough but i do it. now it's like, i just can't do it. i just can't do it anymore. i don't know what will happen to me. i don't care about money or status or anything but i don't want to be out on the street. i'm so sick of everything. so physically wiped out. so sad. i've seen so much incredible suffering and cruelty in life. it makes an impression. it makes you wonder. i've seen more of the bad than of the good in life. been betrayed by the people closest to me. i'm going to get up from this chair and make breakfast and then try to trudge though the day. but i'll probalby just wind up in bed again. it's really sad. i have been such a decent person and a hard hard worker throughout my whole life and it's come to this. life it so unfair. it's just hard to even move my body from point a to point b anymore. kind of scary.

It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
Or get a cuddly cat. My cats always make me feel better.
I’m very sorry to hear about your struggles. There was a point in my life that I felt so sad and I didn’t know why. I felt so empty in spite of all the blessings around me. I felt alone even though I have a husband who always supports me. One day, someone invited us to attend Bible study and I was encouraged by someone’s testimony. I realized that I was not alone and helped me to feel less lonely. Since that meeting, my family became a member of small group who meets regularly once a week.
Based in my experience, it’s important to be surrounded with people who will speak encouragement and pray for me especially when I am going through difficulties in life. I pray that you will overcome that sadness you are having now and you will also find the support you need to keep going. Please try to connect with your local church and try also to join a support group. I pray that all will be well with you. Please keep us posted. God bless.
