Depression Understood Forums

Shatteredhopes - well done on looking ahead! A little life to take care of makes things so much easier. During the though times in my life, my dog made me get up and take care of her. They are LIFESAVERS. I hope you do get one. Do what you think is going to make YOU happy. I know what you mean about...

Oh Sara... I know you've been through hell and back with chemo, but I hope you don't give up. I know instincts are powerful, but do you think it's fear leading you? I mean since the doctor seems to think your body can handle it... do you trust the doctor? Is there any reason why he or she would lie ...

I have to agree with shatteredhopes about your brother. It's time that Monty takes care of Monty and gets help from someone who is JUST as responsible for your mothers care as you are. Have you tried to talking to him?

hey disposable! Yes, walking up and down stairs gets the heart pumping - so it is better than nothing. Keep at it!!! Maybe you'll feel more motivated one day... for now? Be proud of what you ARE doing.

Hey again, lablover. Hey Monty Girl. Animals are a God send really. I had the same life saving experience with my Dakota. Gives you a reason to move. Lablover, depression is frightening, I agree. You feel this way and you don't know why. You feel this way and you don't know how to make it stop. I ho...

There are so many reasons to bother for you, Monty girl! Just think of your daughter... your son. Your life! You are a wonderful woman and the world is a much brighter place with you in it. Please always try to keep sight of that. You're important, Monty Girl. I know when physical pain strikes us, i...

((((Rabidspam)))) What thoughts? Maybe with more information inside your thoughts, we can help you. Did you see the doctor? If so, how did it go?

Dad's are always there to rescue their daughters... it's the greatest joy of their lives, I think. Even when we don't really want to be rescued!!

Hi Lacey... I'm sorry it took so long to answer the post. I am sorry I can't help you... I will post again if I hear anything.

Well that's something! The old man next door to me terrorizes my dog. He bangs on a bucket just to make her nuts. He also yells at people for parking on the street, and has an argument at least once a month with someone for NO reason at all. The people on the other side... they are strange. Neither ...

My thoughts are with you, Jeanie. I am glad you are feeling better, and I do hope that you are 100% soon. ((((Jeanie))))

Hey Monty girl... sorry you're hurting! One good thing about Kidney stones is that they pass on their own. There is severe pain, but I'm pretty sure the hospital cannot do anything about it. Once they pass, it is usually over. You'll be ok, Monty Girl. You've been through labor! Is there a visiting ...

Hey ang... what a situation! Your children sound like your salvation, and that's wonderful. Why don't you think you're fun? I'm sure you're more fun than you think... how is your self-esteem? And being a social worker? So am I. And I have GAD and health anxiety. Two of the most irrational things you...

Don't be too hard on yourself... many people don't like PDA's. It's all a matter of taste, really.

You're such a pleasure, Gaze. So glad you come here.

Ah Gaze... I hope for you sake that one day you meet the man who will make you see marriage as a blessing and not a curse.
