Depression Understood Forums

((((((((Jeanie))))))))) very sad, but boring, no. Anytime you want to share, please do. You've offered support to me, and I would love to have the opportunity to do the same for you... And I have to say that for too long I didn't think I could, or was worthy of getting anything I wanted out of life....

agreed, jeanie. I just hope I don't find out for a long long time! LOL
(((((((((Jeanie)))))))))

JudeB...so sorry to hear about your friend - and what a cute little one you have!!!! Here's another hug for you (((((((JudeB)))))) Feel better...

Ok, wait a sec. what i mean to say was that there was NO WAY that someone did NOT come and pick her up... that's what I get for posting without previewing what I wrote!

well all... I can remember being 22 and facing my own mortality at that time. It definitely sent me over the edge! I'll tell you, Jeanie, I think you're absolutely right that we fear death because we fear the unknown. I've learned to not be afraid anymore and I'll tell you why. Watching a couple of ...

Hi Cody. I'm sorry it's taken so long for me to respond to your post, but I've really just started using the forums, so I just had a chance to read what you wrote. I'm sorry you feel so alone, Cody. I'm not going to tell you the dreaded, "there's someone out there for you," because I will ...

Hey Jeanie... I hope you do write about your life one day... and yes, I am at a point where I do believe that all I desire can happen for me. That's what happens when you do get rid of toxic people, I think. And, of course, when you stay positive about your life. I'm glad the forums have given US a ...

Hi Sherry. Sorry for the late reply, but I just started using these forums - I hope you are still around... You can't give what you don't have, Sherry. I can understand that it is your instinct that makes you want to protect your son and help him in any and all ways. That said, I do also believe tha...

Hey Rob...I just started using the forums myself and I have to say that I'm really enjoying it! Not always time for me to enter the chat, but the forum is accessible to me at work, so I can always find time to see what's going on here! Hope to chat with you again soon!

Hello Friday13. Welcome to DU!! :-) Glad you decided to join the community here. Lots of good people all dealing with similar issues. I've never heard of, "lifesigns," so I don't think they are linked at all. There is a great chat room on this site where the people are kind and always will...

What's boring about appreciating what you have? Nada!! I'm sure you have a million things to be grateful for... you're a great gal. As for being traded in... I'm sure it was a big sour LEMON that pales in comparison to you! And you are right... some relationships are not meant to be... that's how we...

Thank you for reading, Jeanie. It took a lot for me to post that...I don't usually do things like that! I appreciate your nice thoughts and words... (((((((Jeanie))))))))

So...my story goes like this. Grew up in a nice, middle-class family in a working class area of New Jersey. I was the middle child of three, and the oldest female. My father and I had a special relationship - not only was there love between us, but we genuinely liked each other as people. Then...dis...

Hi NYC. I have to agree with Jeanie on this one... your sister knowing that someone she looks up to, someone she sees as "strong," may help her face her own depression and start crawling out of it. Also, it might give you some help at the same time. Depression can eat you up if you don't s...
