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?

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
