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 just do not understand my mind! I swear I really don't?!!!!!!
If somebody treats you like shit, why do we care? Why do I care? If somebody hits you EVERY single time you walk out the front door, why can I not learn to walk out the back door for a change?
In my mind, I do not care if my parents like me or not. Their life is in shambles and they bitch about every single thing everybody does, but for some reason it bothers my heart when they are upset with me for whatever reason.
This has gone on my whole life so I guess it is just me and my tiny little pea brain, but it still baffles me as to why I give a rats ass to begin with! I am a good woman who NEVER hurts anybody! I BEND OVER BACKWARDS for everybody I meet, I am a hard worker and I love everybody, so why is it at age 41 I still have to have their damn approval?
I think I need to go see a therapist, but never had the money to do so! Oh well...thanks for letting me vent!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. 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...
thanks for the compliment!
Think of how much you are like/no like your folks. Recall too, that they are the people who programmed you (genetically and otherwise) but you are growing into your own person as well. It takes time to separate from our folks...good, bad, or otherwise. For me, the issue had more to do with my Mother who never bonded emotionally to me or my younger siblings. At age 53 I am still dealing with those "triggers" and issues surrounding abandonment and repressed anger.
Hope you're feeling better soon and thanks for the uplift on my thread! Your a sweetie!
Got any Grey Poupon, darlin'?
It was like a catch 22. I was depressed, and them yelling at me for my depression just made it worse.
At age 27, I finally see my mother coming around to understand me as a different person. It took her a very long time. I see her as having "rose-colored" glasses during the times it feels she's overbearing.
Your parents love you, they just don't always understand you.
tom...THANKS FOR WHAT YOU SAID...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR ME!!!!!!!
