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 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...
God, Husband, Children, Family, Friends, my good doctors, my job, my husbands job, my house, my car, my life, my faith, my sense of humor, my big brother, chocolate, ritalin (don't laugh now-it's really begining to help!!), my really nice bosses (seriously-not being sarcastic, I have two of the best bosses you will ever meet), my husbands boss~he's a really nice guy, cartoons, music, online places I can de-stress (this one and then another site), my cooking/baking skills, music and good movies...that's the list so far...
