Depression Understood Forums

So sorry for your pain. Is it possible for you to move out of your parents' home? Cause it sounds like being around them everyday is bringing you down. You say you have a successful life outside of your home.

So happy to hear you are moving in the right direction and seeking help. Saying a prayer for you.

ann10, sorry you are going through this. I also battle depression. Certain times of the year are worse. The best thing for me is exercise. You don't have to join a gym or do anything fancy, just move. Exercise sets off happy chemicals in your brain. I have a nordic track in my basement. I just go do...

How are you doing? I just saw your post and wanted to send you a note of encouragement. I am sorry you are in such pain. Since you don't like talking to people have you tried self help books.

Thanks Breezy, I have spent a lot of years feeling like I was crazy, so I started reading everything I could get my hands on regarding anxiety, self help, etc. I have a whole list of books that I have read. I will probably aways have the tendency toward anxiety and depression because of the abuses i...

Breezy, I am so encouraged to read your responses and that you have had some positive things happen. Regarding depression being a blessing. I have thought the same thing. Like the song, "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." Which reminds me I recently read a book called Stronger by ...

Hi Breezy, Sorry no one has posted yet. I'm usually on the computer earlier than this, but I had some flower gardens that needed watering this morning. I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. I can totally relate. I was raised my an emotionally immature mother. Her Dad committed suicide when ...
