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.
Every time I try to open up I just get looked at like I’m crazy and left behind why I should I even try anymore this is why I keep my pain to myself because nobody actually cares enough to listen. I know everyone says they care but I know it’s bs maybe I’m just better off letting my pain be my downfall. Because at the end of the day nobody’s gonna care to listen so why should I even try to talk and open up?

The only person who understands me is my therapist. Pretty sure everyone else thinks I'm just crazy or emotiona. I guess you don't really know unless you've been there. I have so much empathy for people suffering from Depression and other illnesses now because I know the hell that it is. I hope things get better for you - for all of us.

That's a lonely place to be...do you have a pet or able to have one-sometimes the love from an animal can fill the gap left by real people. I have always benefitted from being around animals-if you like them of course. My depression experiences arent yours exactly, but I know something of that hell. You are not crazy and even if you were- whatever crazy is...you are still a living being and worthy of respect and kindness. keep on trying! good luck xxx

God bless

I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only. It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals. I have been wanting a new dress. I like dressing up sometimes. My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant. But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again. I went through this in the fall. I bought...

Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
