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.
Nothing traumatic happened to me, I have no reason to be depressed, but I am. I feel like God has taken away the most glorious thing in my life, and I can't go on without it. That thing is music. I used to love it. It used to move me beyond what words can express. It was glorious. Now when I try to listen to music, all I feel is frustration, hopelessness, and emptiness, because I feel nothing. There's nothing there inside me. Just this empty hole where that love used to be, and I don't want to go on like this. Music used to let my spirit soar, and now all it is is a reminder of the happiness I once felt and can't feel again.

Try not to force it. The love and passion will come back. Sometimes we just need a little break from the thing that used to overwhelm us with emotion. Even if it was good emotion. Let the music subside a little, listen to the silence. Maybe it has something to say as well. I used to feel that way about dancing...like I'd taken the one thing that used to make me feel beautiful and whole and twisted it until I felt like a fat loser when I danced. So I went with it, I paused for a second, I waited. And it came back to me. I realized that I was meant to dance...it just took a break to put things into perspective. If it's what you love, it never leaves you.
