I often feel physical pain, too. It seems that when my depression flares, so does my back pain and other pain. I have theorized that when my depression is at it's peak, I sit around and lie around...
My niece told all of us a few years ago. At first, the reaction was a little harsh, but then everyone got used to it and now her partner is part of the family. My family is a very religious one, (my...
I am glad that the physical pain is a little better today. I hope that someone is there with you for support and help! It is good that you are seeing a counselor. HUGS!!!...
You are certainly in my prayers as well....
Please talk to your family. Mom, sister, friend (best if it's an adult!), school counselor....someone you trust. Tell them just what you posted here. There is help out there that will help you to...
You are in my prayers. You what you had to do and you did it. That took courage. Now it is okay to remember, but you can't dwell on it or look back. Never forget the baby or the lesson, but you did...
You know, it seems a little odd, but shopping always makes me feel better. I like to buy clothes and shoes, but never go anywhere to wear them! Also, part of my problem now is financial, so I...
I don't know why, but I sure deal with it. I just CAN'T get up! I will stay on the couch and watch TV all day long if I can! I feel guilty for wasting the day, but I just can't get motivated! I hate...

There are those of us who feel that no matter what we do, we don't do enough. I feel bad that I can't take this child in NOW, and that we are stalled while I get my career going and can actually give...
Have any of you tried to lose weight while dealing with your depression? I know that the meds can be a stumbling block, and I also feel very bad about myself when I fail - and I usually do! I am so...
Cranky, I appreciate your reply. I used to be a foster parent and I am working with an agency to adopt one of the Deaf children that I work with as an Interpreter once my career is off the ground....
Well, let me tell you a little about me. Let me start by saying that I have been diagnosed with depression and lately I wonder if there is more to it. When I first posted earlier, I felt absolutely...
Hi. I just joined today and I am not sure where to start. I don't want to jump in and just start venting and telling my story, unless that is how it's done. I need someone to lean on, just to let it...
Yes, I do think your parents are wrong. I am a single mom and my daughter is the ONLY thing that has kept me from losing total control. I had to get a hysterectomy and cannot have any more children....
