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.
When you're in your deepest, darkest times...what do you look to for inspiration and light?
I'm not necessarily talking about "big ideas" such as trust in God, the love of your family or the feelings of a significant other (though these are all VERY valid reasons)....but there are times when I get into a pit so deep I need something more tangible to hold on.
For me...it's Tuesday nights. At 9:00 comes House, MD, and at 10:00 comes Boston Legal.
Maybe this sounds cheesy to some of you, but when I'm in my darkest points sometimes I'll just think to myself, "Just wait until Tuesday."
Do any of you have any mundane or surprising anchors that you use in your darker moments?

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...
Like I need to have back surgery in a couple months. So the therapy place I go gives me a massage once a week that my insurance pays for. I look forward to that once a week.
My son is in special olympics. So I look forward to his practices and games. Gives me the opportunity to see others and get out of the house. Might sound stupid but I have to have something to look forward to, it helps me.
I have a agenda book next to my computer. So i mark how many more weeks till the pool is open, or when I go on vacation stuff like that.
HUGS!!

The dark and sad times I remind myself that life is only temporary and not to take it to seriously (I do firmly believe in reincarnation which makes that all make more sense)
When I'm dark and angry then the only thing that cheers me up is watching Boondock Saints, or V for vendetta if the kid has swipped my Saints.
The children have dif fathers. This guy doesn't care... all kids need a dad...kinda guy.. Took me 2 years plus the prego time to begin to think of him as human. ##1 dad bailed and refused contact...
#2 this guy thanks me for being present at the birth.
His mom thinks the #1 kid should be told the he is not the real dad.
FUCK HER AND THE HORSE SHE RODE!!!!!!!!
A dad is the guy who is there for you.
A dad Is NOT THE SPERM DONNER!!!!!!!!!
GHGGGRRRRGGGGRGRGRGAAAA
I did it alone and you won't have to....
