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.
It is only when all is lost, that we find our true selves
It is only when we have nothing left to give that we give everything
It is only when we are at our weakest that we realise our true strength
it is only when all around us is in chaos that we find our true peace of mind
It is only when we face death that we find the true meaning of life
It is only when we fail that we realise how to succeed
It is only when we know the fight is lost that we truly fight with with nothing to lose
It is only when all ways forward are blocked that we climb the biggest obstacle
It is only now that I realise I am not strong enough to overcome depression on my own that I have opened myself to others. I want you all to know that you are loved by me. YOU have given me the strength to carry on, simply by caring and I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for simply being you. For you are all special in so many ways. Each of you is a God in your own right, because although I may never meet you face to face, I believe in you.

Almighty God, when the way is blocked before me and an army of circumstances closes in behind me, help me to stand by faith, looking to You to open a way. Lord, I want to follow You, asking You to lead me where my enemies cannot go, in Jesus' name, Amen.

Allan, we love you too. I do know what life holds and I appreciate the life I have. I lost a sister and from that day on I learned that life is short and to love it no matter what I am dealt along the way. Keep enjoying the little things in life. This morning I drove to the store, got me and the kids some hot chocolate and started a fire in the fire place. Keep looking forward to those bacon sandwiches with the roll and the scrumptious brown juices. mmmmmmm! Enjoy being in love. See, we do pay attention.lol. Great post!

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...
