Depression Understood Forums

Well, summer has just barely begun and I already hate it. It's just awful and I think it's the worst ever. I hate the heat. And then there's a lot of noise with all kinds of construction and remodeling projects nearby. Parking at where I live is difficult with so many construction workers getting pa...

To Elfarmy : I know how you feel. I have felt that way for a good long time and it stinks. The scariest part is, how would I cope when I feel depressed and there's no good reason and then something bad happens? In the past there were bad things and tragedies that have happened and I got numbed to i...

Hi Sabine. I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I completely understand. I'm feeling the same way also. So many of these feelings are going around it seems. You have your son, so I think that's nice. So many others do not have that. I am 68 years old and never been married with no kids. I live by myse...

Funny how I have been thinking exactly the same thing for myself. I cringe when I read old posts, journaling (or diary), and memories of the old days. I don't know if there's a term for this? I can imagine entertainers must feel that way in seeing or hearing what they did in the past.

Well, now it's summer. With my feelings about spring, it can spill over to summer. It's doing it now for me. It seems like it's noisier at where I live than the last time I wrote. There's a repair project going to happen just outside of my door and it's going to be noisy. Hopefully it won't happen f...

With so little that I have going for me with friends, it looks like another one is going to bite the dust. I had a friend from my college days and our friendship has lasted for almost 50 years. And now it looks like we're going to split up. So sorry this has to happen. I feel like he has been ghosti...

I'm sorry you feel this way. I'm feeling the same, so all I could say is, "join the club" Maybe that doesn't make you feel better, but I feel the same and I guess many others do, too. I'm sure many others do even though it looks like they have it all together. I feel like, especially latel...

I let the only friend I have go today. To start off with, he recovered very well after the fall he had a couple of weeks ago, and that was impressive to me. However I let him because we had a terrible fight over the phone. I feel bad about this. So many times he and I have had arguments and fights a...

Thank you Jenniekimberly for your nice reply. What you said is exactly how I feel. And now I'm really hating spring. It's noisy outside with all kinds of construction work; and parking near my place is harder. I don't have assigned parking. All kinds of construction workers come to work, and once I ...

Thank you so much Kardep for your nice reply. My friend is being released tomorrow from the skilled nursing care facility, so I'm pretty happy about it. I've called him while he was there but the phone calls have been limited. Plus there was no privacy in talking to him. However he will have some in...

My friend seems to be doing better now. He and I have been talking lately, which is a pretty good sign. We talked briefly yesterday and for a while last night. He and I talked for a while today also. He's in less pain and is enthusiastic about the physical therapy sessions. He has some ups and downs...

My friend is at a skilled care nursing home now and in tremendous pain. He and talked briefly today and I feel bad for him. He said that he may come back home but there's no telling when. Even if he fully recovers, which that would be a miracle, he won't be the same. So it's very sad. If worse comes...

As of now, the only friend I have had a couple of falls and is in the hospital emergency room now. It's not looking good. Losing him is going to be devastating. I don't make friends easily. I find myself feeling tense. At where I live it's hot now. Doors and windows have to be opened for me to feel ...

I'm still feeling it now. A typical day at where I live is like this - it's cloudy in the morning and then it clears up in the afternoon. And then, in the early evening, it clouds up, and it stays that way until the next day in the afternoon. It's like "rinse and repeat". I'm realizing now...

It's springtime now. Time when flowers grow, trees bud, and grass turns green. Daylight is longer and it's warmer outside. That's nice, but for me I feel like my depression increases at this time of year. I tend to like Nov. - March, but not springtime. One good reason I feel that way is because, ov...
