Depression Understood Forums

I know I hadn't checked in in awhile. I'm still alive. But medical things have popped up for everyone. I got hit with Bell's Palsy in March. Saw a therapist for that for a few appointments. Got exercises to do. Officially got diagnosed with ADD and depression. I've been seeing a therapist and am on ...

I already am on Section 8. There are no houses available. I've been on it for about 8 years. Only recently have I contacted them & changed my info. As for the certs, I'm pursuing that too. I hate the hurry up & wait bs.. I just went to a place today that helps disabled people find jobs. (I h...

I'm sorry I haven't been on. I've been having a VERY rough time...I've lost my steady internet connection. I've got a very limited connection via my phone..I have also had to make financial cuts in alot of areas. I'm still unemployed, having financial difficulty.. I have discovered, through all of m...

Just an update... My daughter had moved out and now has moved back in. During this time I wrote her a heartfelt letter. It seems to have soften her a bit. She moved back in because her b/f broke up with her. Now she's hiding in Connie's & my bedroom watching Netflix. Lynn, I found out, has had 6...

It kills me inside. EVERYTHING's "Mom" this and "Mom" that... She just recently added her mother back on her facebook page. She doesn't even acknowledge me as her father. She is making EVERY effort to snub me. I didn't have to come back into her life. She doesn't even realize thi...

My daughter & I barely talk. She has unofficially moved out with her boyfriend (she has come & get stuff for 2 weeks... Clothes, meds, shampoo, etc..). She is keeping me at arm's length. She has a permanent chip on her shoulder where I'm concerned. I've been trying to get closer to her for t...

I just wanted to let everyone know I'm ok. My car was fixed. Damn vacuum hose!! Also my unemployment went through. Safe for another 3 months. Beyond that, nothing has changed.

They rely on me for a vehicle. Connie doesn't want to lose me a second time. She is afraid to be alone. I honestly think me not being around will make it harder in some areas on her, but eaiser in the longrun for all three involved.

I don't know how much more of this I can take. Connie is not feeling well as of late. Doctor says she's got a parasite she picked up 3 weeks ago. So she's snapping at me because she's not feeling good. If we have any kind of a verbal fight (which happened last night) she goes into this mode and ther...

Well, a good thing happened out of all of this. My unemployment got renewed for another 3 months or so. There's hope yet... As for me moving, I can't afford to. I do basically live in moo country. And I look at it the same way you do 4EverMe.. I'm not very religious...It's a bad set of circumstances..

@Frame - I am in Stone Bank..(at Connie's place) An outskirt of Oconomowoc, WI. The nearest place for employment walking is 1.5 hours in Oconomowoc proper. It takes 15 minutes driving to get here. There is no bus lines. I would have to move to Milwaukee to get on a bus line. Lynn is in an assisted l...

Does anyone have any advice on what to do besides "hang in there... It'll get better.."?

Food, rent and electric is already taken care of. My daughter takes care of the rent & electric. But she wants to go out on her own soon. So that will be a priority too. Connie takes care of the food. She goes to 2 food banks and we both are on the state food share program. My biggest concern ri...
