Depression is depressing

some of the things I do when depressed are, find someone to hang around with, share with others how I am feeling, I get out and do things. I don't stay home and feel bad for myself.
I have spent from the middle of January until yesterday involved in several community projects and teaching a class. During that time I was dised by my relatives, had plumbing problems, had a relationship with a friend go sour. I also was rejected by a veterans group for my beliefs in what helps one get through PTSD.

Needless to say I facilitated mental health groups, worked at mental health functions, ideated about suicide (which is okay to do) but most of all I stayed connected with friends and did my best to not be alone.

Depression with mediations works as long as we make it work. I as in Illness and we as in wellness makes us better and stronger.

That works if you have friends. I have none.

Here is an idea

Go to www.NAMI.org
Find where they have a NAMI connection meeting in your state
. Call your NAMI Affiliate office and find out what time the meetings are being held. go to a NAMI Connection Support and Recovery group meeting. there you will meet new friends who understand you and will be willing to share with you.
NAMI is also in Canada.

I ride this elevator quite a bit

even with help from three medications. I know that it is hard to "think straight." I wasn't able to concentrate sufficiently enough to maintain finances and family business. Some days it's a triumph just to face our fears and move on despite the pain inside. I know that you've had so much hurt and disappointment, but you know your faith has seen you through. There are times in the recent past where a word from you has lifted my spirit.

Here's something someone sent to me, and I think it is not just for you or me but for so many here.
