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.

If being who you are is the true key to happiness, how does one be who they are if they dont even know who they are?
got any suggestions??

you start finding out who you are when you start looking inside ...instead of out side ...you stop trying to please everyone else and find out what pleases you ...go back to that child you were ...befor you were lost ....begin there ....it takes time and pashants ...and being kind to your self ....take care ...God bless

Being who you are is not the key to happiness. Do you think people who seem to be happy know who they are? No, they just don't care about who they are exactly. You will find out who you are when you are old and in death bed looking through your life from a experienced perspective. Now you should care about the short-term challenges you face and try to do your best.

I've battled with who I am for a long time now, especially in relation to my mental illness. Don't know if anyone really knows who they are. I think most spend a lifetime searching for the answer.

that's a pretty heavy question, and i don't think there is really a clear cut answer for anyone. but what do i know. overall i like what muskrattiger says most of all. find what makes you tick and what makes your spirit soar, or if that is too far stretching, what makes you smile or feel a little tick of peace inside, and if you follow those pursuits you will possibly end up in a place where you feel like a complete person and then maybe you'll know. what do i know?
