Depression Understood Forums

Hi gravab26, and welcome to the forums. I am sincerely sorry to hear that life is giving you that much distress and upset. I am glad you are able to post here and I hope things become a little better for you soon. Have you considered talking with a professional about your feelings? You might want to...

Hi LisaRose, I am sorry to hear you lost your mother. I can understand how that would contribute to everything you are feeling. I have a close friend, ( we met in the 6th grade, we are both close to 50 now) and she often talked about some of the fears you are describing. She struggled with leaving h...

Hi S-Coff, I tend to agree. I think if a person can find what they are passionate about and then set upon doing it, it can be a winning combination. Takes a lot of false starts but it is worth it. Hope you are doing ok, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Waynec, the pain you feel is so real and so understandable. Your actions were brave and do not indicate "illness" Closure is a myth, no one ever finds "closure" when they love. BUT, people do go on and they love again, and again and again. It is never the same but it is still won...

Hi Waynec, Your list is quite depressing actually. I think you owe yourself a list that expresses statements and expressions that actually do provide support and /or comfort to a depressed person. You mentioned the one example of your fiance, I thought that was lovely. What other words or expression...

Hi Juice and welcome to the forum. Nice to meet you. I am sorry you are feeling fragile at the moment and I am so glad you were willing to give this a try. I think I saw you in the chat room the other day. Losing a pet is sad, I am sorry. I hope things improve for you and you find some comfort and p...

HI Vmlsjp, I am sorry you are in such a stressful and sad situation. To me, both relationships are not wise. Abuse is non starter..no person should remain in an abusive relationship. One relationship should also end before another one is allowed to begin. The second relationship sounds like a refuge...

Hi Patrick, I have to agree with the persons who have responded. I feel exercise, no matter how little, does have a very positive benefit. One chatter explained the physiology with endorphins and such and that is true. But, I think exercise is something that helps a person establish routine. Sometim...

Hi, Toomuchsuffering, welcome to the forums. I am sorry you are so unhappy in your personal relationship. Relationships always require 2 persons to make better. Is couples' counseling an option? It sounds from your post, that there are many unspoken issues here. Maybe lack of a romantic life has add...
