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 am having a hard time being anywhere other than my bed without dissolving into tears. Everything seems so hard. My closest friends say things like "snap out of it" and I just can't. Another friend says she loves me no matter how I am, but I always feel like I'm disappointing her when I can't go out and do anything. I know that people are getting sick of me, hell I'm sick of myself. I have been faking being okay for everyone, and I just can't anymore. I don';t want to lose my friends because they are the reason I am still here, but I just can't handle being out and about. I feel like I'm losing everything.

((((Hugs))) Ivybelle. I know exactly how you feel. In face, I could have written this post myself. The people who love you will stick by you no matter what.

That's what I'm afraid of though...what if they don't love me enough to stick around? I don't think I can handle that kind of rejection right now...

The friends that say 'snap out of it' are being ignorant. The friends that say they love you regardless are the very best sort. The former don't sound much like real friends.

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...
