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 know I'm on the way up with my depression but it's so hard! I know I also could give up and slip back down... but why continue to be miserable when I know I can feel better if I just try? It's so hard though, some days I really want to curl up under the blankets, like today for instance. It's ok to still have days like that on our way up right? I mean even happy, UN depressed people still have bad days.

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?

I didn't mean to make this about me, I just wanted to offer my advice - do what you need to do for YOU. If that's staying in bed, do it. If it's reading a book, do it. If it's cleaning your house, do it. Just don't give up on feeling better.
I've lost so much that staying in bed is a safe place for me. I don't know how to express it. I feel doing things out of the ordinary is a waste of time. Now that I have medication I can finally sleep. And I am and I feel great doing it.
I've lost 10 people including my Mom and then my very best friend that was my support with my mom...6 months later. 3 very good friends that we would have tue brunch. They all died within 1 year of each other of cancer. a stepbrother, 3 aunts, Rabbi, worker I worked with. My husband was cheating, my dog died. I wasn't medicated, I went into a massive year episode and lost my business which I worked out of my home. Everybody seen me lose my mind. And now the words are not flattering. I'm going to have to move in order to re-gain any confidence,my mind...my everything.
Sleep is warm and safe for me right now. I don't know what else to say..YOU'RE OK...COMPLETLY OK :)
