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 interested to know what techniques you all use when you're feeling a bit down. Not talking about full-blown depression, just when you get the blues (perhaps due to PMS, or some other trigger). I've been feeling a bit up and down the last couple of days (hormonal, mostly) and I usually try to read some funny jokes or get some time out by myself when i can.
Who knows, one of you may have the miracle cure!!!

I always try to do something that I love like fishing, gardening, walking in the woods. I like aromatherapy and plant a lot of herbs and smell good things. Candles and soft lights help. A relaxing bath or a good movie. I just try to do what makes me feel peaceful for a bit. No technique, really. No cure available, sorry! You just have to learn to tame the beast. :)

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
