Depression Understood Forums

Hello and may you be reading this with a smile. I have been depressed for years now. Here lately it's been pretty rough to get motivated. I am looking for guidance an uplifting if you will. I just joined and will began to read into a lot of other stories as well. I read one that has several cats...Wow. No biggie I love animals too but I have 7 dogs...Wow. Hope to meet and greet soon

Hi,

Welcome and I hear you. We can all use some guidance from time to time. The best we can do is be there for each other when things get rough. So, go ahead and talk to me, how can I help?

P.S I have 2 dogs who are like real kids in the house

Hi Teddi in Texas,
Welcome aboard! I'll try to be uplifting, but I can't lie and say that I'm smiling. Usually, I smile while reading a post because it's humorous or someone has written something sweet.
What part of Texas are you from? The reason I ask is because I've lived down there and still have some family there. (East area) And I truly miss the gigantuan thunderstorms! They're beautiful and refreshing. I couldn't handle the heat/humidity though. Ugh! It's no wonder you're depressed. (kiddin)
Hopefully, you'll find some comfort here. I know I have. So, what's going on with you? What is it that prompted you to reach out?
