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.
Been a while since I last posted. Wish I could say everything was good.
The mess in my head shows it's not. Ive finally just started therapy (though its hard to get the appointments) and hopefully that'll help. She had a lot to say before. Things like low self esteem, severe depression etc. So we'll see.
I try to stay positive but I have so many things in my mind pulling in different directions. Im restless.
I want to talk to my friends about it but they don't know what to do. I don't want to worry them. Hell I don't want to get to the point where they're fed up of having to listen to me whine.
But Im so fucking lonely as well. I know this all sounds whiny, believe me. I feel stupid about it as it is. I just need something. Though I've absolutely no idea what.
Just needed to put words down for now. Now I'm away to the gym to hopefully tire myself out.
Thanks.

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon
You could try telling one of your friends that you need to get some things off your mind and if they could hang out and let you vent or see if any of them could hang out with you. Either going out or order some food and watch a movie or binge watch a TV show.
If writing helps try just writing everything down with paper and pen. Computers work but for me writing by hand helps me feel like my problems are flowing out with the ink.
Hope your therapist helps you sort things out and find ways of coping and help quiet the mind. I understand loneliness very well, and it's not an easy cross to bear but hope the workout helped calm and center you, even if just a short while.
Hopefully the therapist will give some help. Last time I saw her, she pointed out that my eye contact had improved. I hadn't even realise this was something I was doing!
I've started exercising more. Determined to eat right, up the cardio and weights. At least I can get physically strong if not emotionally heh.
My friends are great, I just didn't want to be down with them so often. I also tried putting it down in words or illustrations. If I can get that out it does help.
As for the loneliness and the need for something new, just need to wait I guess.
Again, thank you so much guys. Places like this and people like yourselves are great help.
Hope you're all doing good tonight.
Loneliness is difficult and gets to me from time to time but things have improved. Been getting out more and involved with the world but as I am not working at the moment money is restricting the things I get to do.
I am glad you can constructively get you feelings out and hope the therapy and meds help too.
Feeling stuck today. Had to move home after university so Im working and saving. Unfortunately not doing anything with my degree yet. I definitely mois living in England and university (never thought Id say that)
I had depression before but moving back seems to have me lore stressed. Being active helps, if I do nothing (which it feels like I have been doing a lot) my mind runs riot
JUST GETTING OUT AND ABOUT HELPS.
THE LORD IN HEAVEN IS WITH U ALWAYS,SWEETIE.
