Depression Understood Forums

Oh yeah... There's no need to feel self-conscious about it. What ever helps is useful! It's also a normal manner by which we people break the ice. Speaking about the deeper things in life, with some attention focused on the 'mundane,' is only human. In that aspect, it also proves to be more genuine-...

Robert Johnson? I don't recall hearing about any of his books. However, creativity is right up my alley! No, don't feel guilty about anything briefly discussed that doesn't pertain to depression. In a sense, even the brought up idea of reading could be helpful to some; it's a reminder of something p...

Hi no-answer,
Do you have a dream that's reoccurring?
Also, have you read any books by Dean Koontz?
He's an excellent writer...

Hi there, Ayrton, Yes, I'm truly listening! :) The interesting thing about this site is that people tend to gravitate toward those they're curious about, and/or those they feel something in common with. Your post reminded me some of myself in that you're a serious type of person who's not a 'social ...

Hi ema, It's good that you found this site, and posted your dilemma. I'd hate to see you give up, and wind up doing something that you can't take back. Although, you might not feel it now, there IS hope! My advice to you would be to follow your dream. Even if you can't do it yet as a full-time job, ...

Hi Ayrton, Welcome to the forum! I'm so glad you decided to post here. I'm just a few years older than you, and found this site in June of last year. (I think) The time just seems to have flown by... So, you appreciate people who can kinda step back and laugh at themselves? That's totally me! No mat...

Ha ha. Same here! I complete the first few sentences, and the poem, like many others in my notebook, remains unfinished. Ugh...writer's block! Must be that I've way to much on my mind. Hopefully, when things calm down a bit, I'll be able to finish what I started. It's pretty frustrating... Poetry is...

I love to write also- mostly poetry.

Hey there, In my opinion, it would be best for you to just move on and leave all of this behind you. You're dealing with enough stress beginning a new job in a new city. Look at this as a chance for new beginnings. By the way, I cannot stand gossipers! It's surprising when we learn that those closes...

Aww, thank you hazeleyes.

Just want to say I'm okay.

Hi no-answer, Were you primarily answering myself or Doogie? Or, both? I know what you mean about synergy- how it can seem that the state of depression might be compounded by the suffering of all as a whole. Good concept... You've made me thirst for a cold one! I won't lie and say that I've never se...

That's good that positive results are following.
Best of wishes!

Hi zombiemeth, You may feel stuck in a rut and that there's no hope for you. You can't change your mother, but maybe you could devise a plan of action that will make it possible for you to get away from her. Is there someone else you can stay with? It's obvious to me that it's not healthy for you to...

I'm sorry the two of you are suffering. And, I know that a difficult and painful breakup doesn't help with what you're already dealing with! I'm curious as to whether or not either of you are in counseling? Or, have been through counseling as a couple? Do you feel your relationship is salvageable? H...
