Depression Understood Forums

Happy birthday, Jeanie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The good news is that there are two people who are proud of you for what you have done. That had to have felt good! You have eased the burden of your elderly neighbor. I don't think you will know just how much your help means to her. You are probably doing more good than you realize. Allow yourself ...

Hi Tim. welcome to the site. Please continue to read and post. You will find there are a lot of others just like you. When you are with us, you are no longer alone. Have you tried the chat room yet?

Welcome Roxie, Your boyfriend sounds like he has some passive-aggressive anger issues. He is angry with you but can't come straight out and say it. Instead, he does things that tick you off (the other girl friends, not taking you out to the functions, making you feel infferior, ect.). If he continue...

I believe that my loneliness and depression come from the fact that I dwell for too long on myself. No one can possibly satify the fantasy life I have created in my mind. When it doesn't happen I feel abandoned and lonely which is followed by depression. By focusing on my husband, and loving him ins...

Hi Shelpmagazine, It is great to meet you! Thank you for your response. I have learned the trigger to my loneliness. It seems that I get in my own way too much. When my husband's arthitis flares up he retreats. Instead of showering him with love and support, I retreat from him as well, whining about...

You would not be pretending to be someone that you are not. You would be allowing him to be the man that he was created to be. You would be allowing him to share your life instead of keeping him on the edge of it. If you let him help you in certain areas, then you can focus on your strengths and thi...

Dear Obayan, Men were made to provide for us, protect us, and to take care of us (fix our stuff). If you admit up front that you do not need a man for these things, then in a man's mind, you don't need him. The question now is, can you accept him the way he was created and appreciate him for what he...

You must be really hurting now. Sorry it didn't work out better for you.
Warm hugs, Jeanne

Hi Jules, Welcome! Glad you are here. Lots of good people here with ideas that work. There's always someone to help you talk through your problems, no matter what they are. I felt the same way you do when I first joined. Jump on in. It's cozy here.

Hi Hopefulness, Your name actually gave me an idea for you. You can work on a virtue or two to build your self esteem. By making yourself a better person you will have something to point to to say, "Yeh, I did that and I can do even more." Some virtues that you can consider are thirftiness...
