Depression Support Group

i felt this way alot before i was diagnosed and put on medications. my rages were horrible. so many people would say to me live for your child but they just didnt understand. i feel for you. you are definitly not alone

Your not alone. You are very important to your kids and your family and friends. Even though you may not feel that way, you are.
Hope you feel better!!!

i've prayed for death many times

Yup i have days like that, today sort of being one of them. It'll get better though. Not everyday is exactly the same. Hopefully not anyway

i also feel this way i used to say gotta keep goin for kids now not and hubby same way he keeps me further down like a control thing i oncr asked him if he was tryin to push me "over the edge" he just laughed hey we arnt married to same man are we? lol sorry didnt think anyone had one like mine why dont i leave hm..... no strength but one day.......

please hang in there...limit contact with people who are negative....you just don't need it
what i'm trying to say is this...if your husband is this way and makes you feel worse...then he is not the person to discuss your feelings with...try to find people who are truly caring and supportive.....and there are very many sush people on here....they've saved my sanity

I have had many days like that. Just want to go to sleep and thats it. then the sun breaks through and i feel better. Depression is a roller coaster. Look after yourself.

Trust me you are not alone. I have had days like that but I have to keep reminding myself that this will pass no matter how hard that is to tell yourself that when you feel that way. I have had days that I feel like the world would be so much better without me in it but deep down I know better than that. I do have a very supportive immediate family but dont have a good relationship with my mother but I am learning how to deal with that but anyway just hang in there and realize this is just the ugly dark side of depression and it will pass as long as you keep fighting it.:)

I am in that same boat today, I just can't seem to make any sense out of why I am still here. I have gotten to the point of believing my kids would be better off without me. I am alone and have no one in my life and never will. It kind of sucks to think about being alone for the rest of your life, but thats the way it is. I won't kill myself, I will continue to take my meds and watch my food intake. Sometimes thats all you can do. I got up this morning and I went to work, thats the best I can do for now, and its enough for now.

There was a time when I longed for death. There are still times. I too am a mom and I too like you hang on for my kids. I have hung on so long for my kids and family that at times, I would feel resentment toward them for making me live this life. My thinking lately has been that if the shoe were on the other foot would I want them to think of me and my feelings whenever they wanted to end things? YES. Would I want my child to suffer depression?NO But, I would want them here on this earth to hug even depressed. I have dealt with depression for many years. So many years that my youngest daughter is younger than my depression.lol. However, depressed and all...my children love me. They are my biggest fans and if you ask them, THEY HAVE THE BEST MOM IN THE WORLD. That is unconditional love. Unmedicated, I spiral out of control and I have had to accept that depression and meds are a part of my life. I live like this...if I feel terrible, I try not to give in to it. Some of it has to be me and my will power. Meds and counselling can only carry me so far. When I feel good, I wrestle with my boys, have tea parties and play dolls with my daughter. You will get through this.
