Depression Understood Forums

(((((shatteredhopes))))) What you are doing in praying for those that have wronged you is very admirable. I don't know that I will ever be a big enough person to do that. 4 good things in a day is great. I hope you can focus on those rather than the 2 unpleasant things. It is good that you were able...

Yes, we do care. It is torture not knowing if everyone is okay. I hope you come back soon.

I am worried about he and Fran too. It has been weeks since he has been around.

Welcome Helen - this is a fabulous site. I have met many warm and caring people here and I know you will get to know them too.

I am constantly wondering how things are going for you and Fran. We all miss you around here. I hope all is well.

Despite my pain, I have tried hard to get out into the world today and exhibit some form of functioning. I have showered and put on clean clothes and run a few errands. For the most part I am sequestered in my home so today was a triumph of sorts. I do not eat and my chest feels like it is being cru...

I understand your frustration at not getting better. I have also suffered for a long time. Please keep trying. Perhaps therapy wasn't beneficial because the therapist was not a good fit for you....you could find another one and try again. I am sure over time they can help you with your trust issues....

I am so sorry you are suffering this pain.

((((shatteredhopes)))) I sense a quiet determination to turn things around and make the most out of your life. I love it. It's wonderful that you are getting to places of forgiveness.

I'm sorry....I truly hope you can find some joy in your life again.

Welcome Kira - This is a very warm and supportive place. I am glad you have found it.

Welcome Baz - You have come to a very good place. The people here are wonderful, warm and caring.

Welcome Hopefulness - I like your screen name and that despite your depression and loneliness, you feel hopeful. There are so many here who walk down the same road and I know you will feel the same support from them as I have over the last few months.

((((shatteredhopes))))) You would be such an excellent support worker; I really wish that could all fall into place for you. You are so wise and caring and you understand the illness first hand. I understand your constraints though....I only wish they weren't there. It's good to hear you excited abo...

You're in my thoughts too. Hope to hear from you soon.
