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.
Anyone else experience waves of despair that come at any given time and send you into tears?
It could be a happy couple holding hands walking down the street or a very sad scene in a movie or when I worry about a fellow DS'er and the feeling just overpowers you and the tears run?
I never used to be this way befoe my ex's affairs and her leaving me.
I hate these waves as I never know when they will hit me.
Sometimes my kids will catch me crying and ask me why I am crying and I just tell them a lie so they don't know that I am upset.
I hate when these waves hit me and make me feel so weak,I was raised old school where men aren't supposed to cry but since my ex's first betrayal over 5 yrs ago I feel so damned weak and vulnerable and am prone to tear up at any trigger sad or happy

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...
Last year the ex had the kids so I could hide out from the world, this year the kids are coming here and it will be so weird to not have a complete family here for xmas....I hate XMAS
I understand about the xmas thing. At least you have your kids this yr. You won't be alone.
Hugs xoxo
