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 curious what works for you in your recovery, I'm interested to know if ppl want to share. For me, these things help:
swimming
practicing on my language app
peer support meetings
sometimes warmlines
meditation class
short road trips
meds
some DBT skills
distraction and going to funny movies with friends
I realize these things are not a cure-all, but they do help. What brings joy and peace to your life?

Most of the time, I don't know where to start and give...
