Depression Understood Forums

Dear Dad. Today I read my words to you and as I did I felt the poison leave my head and my heart. Today I attended your funeral and when I did I began to feel respect for the man you once were. Today I listened to Lucy's poem and as I did I started to remember that there were some good times before ...

Dear Dad, "Dad", it feels unnatural to even say that. You're a man that happened to be biologically related to me. I need to get to a grounded and secure place of forgiveness because I can't spend any more of my life hurting over you. We tried, so hard, to help you. Nine years we stood by ...

this was such a beautiful and touching post. the beauty of our room and what makes it so special is because of the people like you and others that grace it and reach out to one another. we make the room and the forums what they are by being kind and caring for one another and growing together. thank...

Thank you Frame, that did help, just give me a bit of perspective. Did some meditation yesterday and it did help. I'm going to be trying to make it a regular thing again now to help through this time

Thanks for reading replying frame. Thanks for you words, yeah patience i do need that. To just take it slowly a little bit at a time. Ive always been the type to want to get things done and understand everything at once in one go Thank you i certainly dont feel strong right now though. Feeling the w...

My dad died in sunday and my head is a big confused mess. today i am filled with so much self hatred it is physically painful and uncomfortable to be in my body. I feel disgusting and trapped, like i want to get out of my skin. I feel wrong inside and my body feels vile. It hurts in my soul to be me...

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive ...

Reading this again sbw and its giving me hope over again. Continuous thanks for these beautiful words

My words came true and now my dad is dead.

Yeah the effects of meditation are like a snowball effect, its not really about sitting once for a long while, but doing it regularly to really get the benefits of it. I go up and down in my discipline with it though.

Frame im a gal by the way not a dude hehe

Thanks for sharing, clopen. That resonated with me

Hey sugarkiss, big hugs to you, im sorry youre having such a hard time, and really sorry to hear about the loss of your mother, i understand how loss of a parent can make things a million times harder. I think the doc is right that walks and eating well can help, it can seem patronising when they sa...

Hi akahachi, welcome. During the low points what helps me is talking to people and their support and affection. Also meditation helps me to relax my mind but usually im unmotivated to help myself in that way. I would strongly recommend looking into it though. When i do do it it helps me let go of al...

Hey just want to say i read your post, you sound like such a caring and sweet person. I would say do what makes you happy. If you think being with him will make you happy then keep on pursuing it. I think yes keep dropping him texts every now and then just letting him know youre thinking of him. May...
