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've had this depression problem ever since I was a young girl. I have been through therapies and on several different meds but nothing has helped. All doctors want to do is prescribe therapy and meds. Sure I can laugh at times but I always feel non-existent. I don't really feel emotions, I don't even know or understand what emotions are. All I feel is the fact that I don't want to be anywhere and that this life time was a BIG MISTAKE. Most of the time I just want to die, I see no reason in even being here. I'm not suicidal, tried in the past when I was young but was unsuccessful so I don't even bother with that. Is there even a term for this form of depression and is there anything I can do about it?
I usually get deeply involved in a movie and its characters. Characters in a movie tend to care about each other and get embroiled with each other in an intense way that real people in the outside world do not. Same with fiction novels.
Now i know hiding and brushing problems under the carpet aren't the answer long term, but sometimes it helps to just see someone elses for a while, fiction or non fiction..
Chin up, I hope you feel better soon :)
