Depression Understood Forums

Glad to hear that things are going well so far. Sounds like you have had quite the trying time. Hopefully it's all under control for you now.

For some I don't think they know. For me, it was both. I was betrayed by the one I love, went on antidepressants, now no matter how much she wants to make amends...I just don't feel enjoyment anymore. There are no pills to take, nothing that can be talked through...my brain just will not tell me or ...

Welcome.

Having support does make things easier to deal with. This forum has been a great place to get things off my chest.

Hi Hailey, Welcome! Are your depression and eating disorder combined in any way? I know that it's harder for the younger women today to keep up with the false standards that exist. I'm not certain as to the reasons in your case, but I do know that I have a borderline eating disorder so it can be a b...

Hi sk35. Welcome! I'm not sure I can add anything insightful into your depression that hasn't already been discussed. As for talking to your partner, sometimes it's difficult for people to talk about their feelings and emotions...especially for men. We are raised not to, so it's an area we are not p...

Hi Lonleygirl, Don't let a mishap stop you from achieving your goals; it shouldn't be a show stopper. It shouldn't prevent you from going to grad school. I'm not sure how the laws work where you are, but you should be able to request a pardon after 5 years and have it removed from your record and it...

That's a good one.

Hey Star,

How are you doing?

Hi bear, Welcome. That's sounds like a lot on your plate. Sorry to hear that your husband is not doing well. Hopefully he is on the mend. Has the drug issue with your son been brought to light, or does he know that you know? I'm afraid I don't know much in the way of substance abuse so I'm not sure ...

Hi WindsongB,

Welcome!

Hi ShoppingQueen, Some of what I would say does fall into your list you stated so I'll try and avoid those. Also, I'm twice your age so I'm not sure if one of the younger ones here would be more applicable (appropriate) High School is a hard time. Kids, especially girls, have a tendency to be cruel....

Hi ShoppingQueen,

Not sure if I'm the best for the advice your looking for, but I promise when I get more of a chance to respond I will.

Hi Star,

Lol...I was curious on the meaning of your name.

Apparently I looked like Doogie Howser M.D when I was younger (if you remember that show)... I never saw the resemblance...the nickname sort of stuck.

Hi Jon,

Don't give up....it is hard feeling alone but hopefully this place can help when you are feeling down. I know it's not the same but you are too kind and loving of a person to shut everything out.

Hi Tes2525, I remember when I was in school. It was tough as I was always in my studies and then had to work in whatever free time I had to pay for school. Not a lot of time for friends and fun...but it was worth it. You sound like a very caring and diligent person and will be a great nurse! Might b...
