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.
just remember that "the darkest hour of the night is right before the dawn."

I'm sorry guys...I shouldn't be so negative. I've just had my limit of stress, but there's no way for me to get rid of it right now and I'm freaking out a bit...I just want a break from this hell...but I know I'm not going to get it any time soon.

Kim - even though you said that, I dont' believe that you believe that deep down inside. I know there is a spark of hope somewhere inside but perhaps it's so dark that you can't even see it. So to get that spark to ignit to a flame and then a fire, you need to first, make that a priority and a goal and then take small steps each day to get there. You must believe you can and then work at improving your situation. Don't wait around and expect life to all of the sudden get better. You have to go after it son. Get inspired, passionate and go after it. The only person holding you back from achieving your dreams and goals is you. Others worse off then you have done it and so can you. We have first world problems. Just be thankful you don't have 3rd world problems. Yet there are many in the 3rd world countries who find happiness in a well, or a simple book, or meal. Start with being thankful for what you have and then go after what you want.

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...

My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
