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.

maybe you need a differant type of music to listen to

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.

I know how you feel. I play guitar and sing, and I used to write. I havent played the guitar * for more than a couple minutes * in a few years. And I havent written anything since my son was two. Hes 11 now. Hope you find your inspiration again soon :)

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
