Depression Understood Forums

Hi karolanne
I dont know if it is a sign or not, but many people care for and are concerned about you.
We all have bad days and I do hope yours gets better.

Hi Warmie,
Just what everyone needs, Humble friends hehe. Thanks for the laugh.

Hi Shez84 I am sorry you are having this pain to deal with. This time of year is hard on lots of people. As the year ends it seems to be a time for us to reflect on the bad things that happened but remember the new year brings new opportunities. I strongly recomend you see your Dr about this and get...

Hi teelee Im so sorry you are having a rough time now. This time of year can bring out the worst. As the year ends, I think we tend to focus on all the bad things that happened in the past year and cant see anything better happening. It does though its just hard to see. I am sure that along with the...

Hi Warmie

You know if you read this a certain way, you make things in Canada here sound bad. We prefer to think of the weather here as being great for 9 to 10 months and then a couple of months when the snowmobiles dont run so good.

Merry Christmas and thanks for the laugh.

Hi Destination I am sorry you are having problems moving forward and being able to talk to Dr about problems. Please remember the Dr and Therapists are professionals (unlike friends and family) and can do a proper diagnosis and start you on a treatment plan. If they cant make determination, they sho...

hi geezus84, Graham, humblehobbit thank you for your posting. I was starting to feel alone here. Very similar experience in my life. I am no longer experiencing major depression but still have anxiety both of which I am taking medication for. Not quite at clinical dosage on new med yet so hoping for...

Dear PeaceLove Your symbolic venting has expressed in clarity what I have been feeling for a long time but not quite been able to put into words all at one go. Many of your expressions are spot on word for word what I have said and thought over the last couple of years at different times, but the la...

Hi again karolanne
I too wish more people understood so it is not so lonely. If they are like me though, they have to live through it to ever have an idea what it is like. I would not wish this on anyone else but I hope you are feeling better soon. You are not alone in how you feel. Please be strong.

Hi karolanne That is the same day for a lot of people. I am sorry you are having a hard time today. Try to remember that people ask "how are you" like they are just saying hello. In most cases it is automatic and they really dont expect a response. Try not to personalise it and think how b...

Yes you matter and yes someone is listening. You can pm me anytime you want to if you want someone to talk to.

Hi Destination I think you know that in these forums and the chat rooms there are many people you have things in common with. They are just not all your friends. Yet. Whenever I read your posts, I can feel your strength and you helped pull me up in the past when I was in similar place to you now. Fo...

Hi Angel 5 We had to put down our little dog who was 16 years old, this past May. I really miss her a lot. I do know what it is like to be depressed and maybe your little dog who needs attention is just the thing to keep you off the couch. Getting out and walking is a very good form of therapy and g...

Hi Warmie

Hi flygirl175 I can relate to what you are experiencing on many levels.
