Depression Understood Forums

Hi there, Since petroleum is a big industry in Canada now, would it be possible for him to get a job there? Maybe not since he has no experience in it. As far as your education goes, it does sound unfortunate, but remember that many people end up getting degrees that are not directly related to what...

I'm inclined to think of stray cats as stray, abandoned or homeless rather than ferrel. In that case I'd be more willing to help them out, but your situation is understandable and I don't blame you for not wanting to take them in.

Hi karolanne, hugs to you down there. I wish I could wrap my arms around you and hold you tight. I'm big on hugs, I know a lot of people aren't, but I think they are wonderful. The last couple of weeks of the month are always tight for me and the depression and Suicidal ideation ramp up so I can rel...

Hi there, I'm way up here in the far north. Just reading your post. I can only imagine what it was like to lose your dad when you were just getting to know him. I'm so sorry. As far as your boyfriend goes, I'm not sure what to say except that it would obviously be better to have a boyfriend who was ...

Know this Frame, I admire your will and your discipline every day. You are trying hard to make things work. I don't know how successful you will be, on the one hand in the long run we are all going to die, but in the meantime how successful will you be at fighting your way through this depression? I...

Thank you both. I was, of course, just using the template that Fallen had begun. I wrote a little bit of poetry years ago and admire those that can.

Hi there, I can understand your difficulty in talking to your family about your depression. I started getting depressed about that age as well and it was over 10 years before I'd talk about it to a good friend and 20 years before I'd admit to it to my family. I know a gal who kinda likes having a br...

Sounds like more trouble than I wanted to go to.
Thanks anyway.

I was hoping for something more like uploading a picture to Craigslist, zip, zip zip and it's done.

So, how does this work?

Guess I'll go see if I can find a faq.

I live in the far, far north In the land of ice, snow, moose and bear The spirits of our native elders wait and wander Many of our native childrensmoke, ddrink, abuse anything they can find And die by their own hand far too often Why do we make life this way Why is struggle so closely attached to it...

The non profits I've worked at have been really great places to work. Good people who are trying to do something they believe in that helps the community. I've talked to others whohhavegone into ppsychology who were battling their own demons. Good luck with your studies. Do you have a counselor or a...

I went straight to the star trek series and movies when I read your heading. You still have hope, don't you Frame? I haven't had hope for a "happy" me for years and years now. For a long time I settled for the satisfaction of feeling useful, wanted and likedat work and, I hhoped, being wan...

Hi there, some of us have been depressed for decades, others it's more recent and for some it comes and goes. How about for you? I've had trouble for quite a while, then in the last few years I lost the job I'd had for 16 years and my wife divorced me after 18 years. I can'tseem to get back on my fe...

It seems like there are a lot of us that suffer from depression. I've heard it theorized that it serves a function, from an evaluationary standpoint, but it is hard for me to see it. I was 19wwhen I first walked into a mental health clinic andiit's been dogging me ever since. I have known many who s...

They look super great. I always used to love having pets. 20 years ago I was a volunteer at a local fm station and took my Labrador Be Be in with me. I got an award for volunteering and it was inscribed to Eric and Be Be. She went everywhere withme. Too bbad these daysmost pplaces won't let you brin...
