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'm happy to see her married, of course, and she was glad I was there, but when I left, she saw pain in my eyes, as evidenced by her asking if I was okay.
Well, in the strict sense, I'm not, really. I'm upset at myself that my nerves about this basically shot down the entire week, save for the part-time job I have, before it could even get going. Even for a casual wedding -- this is by today's standards, mind you -- it was still too much. The truth of it is that I'd still rather choose my company.
I'm okay, I made it through...but I wished I wasn't there.
Hugs are welcome if you're feeling sympathetic, but I'm not going to be checking in on this post. Just letting it off my chest and that's it.

I barely made it through my own brother's funeral---I adored him, and yet I was about to leave, midway through, upset and feeling really triggered, when an old friend showed up. Her angelic timing and her gentleness were very welcome, beyond what words can convey. I was able to stay until the end, and that was huge.
You got through it. And I, for one, know what that means.
