Depression Support Group

So my therapist told me when I drink to only have two drinks well I cant do that and I have had plenty tonight. I am thinking about quitting theray all together I mean why pay someone to tell you all your problems. I can talk to anybody I should pay someome to dope me up and tell me what is wrong with me. I am just really depressed and lonely...kinda having a hard time. I put on a smile at work and with friends but it is fake and I hate faking it. I dont like to lie to ppl. I just wish I could be myself but if i do that ppl ask questions they look at you different...blah Im just venting Im sorry!

Hey Texasgirl,

I can totally relate to what your going through. I've been there a million times. I'm a recovering alcoholic because I self-medicated for 3.5 years. Therapy never worked for me. I had to work on myself to get better and I did that through the 12 steps. I hope you get through this...I am here to listen

Hugz,

ange thank you, I didnt know if anyone would be on ehre right now.Im not normally on at night. I just needed someone to tlak to. I am really depressed right now. I quit drinking for awhile bt you know its the only thing that makes me feel better than SI and i would rather get drunk that do that. Thank you for understanding and being there.

Hey girl,

it's okay. You can have bad days, really bad days...just turn it over to God. You can start over every day of your life. I've done so many do-overs, but it finally stuck and it's working in my life to just stay in the day and not fret the past or worry about the future...i know it's easy to say but keep trying until you get through your tough times. Can I ask what is bothering you to get you so down?

Life in general. I just started going to therapy for my depression and she wants to talk about my exes.YAY that brough back so many bad memories. I was so naive and stupid with those guys. I dont like therapy it makes ou feel worse I feel like. I might try one more session just to see.

Well, that's never a good topic for anyone EXES!! LOL that is tough and so I'm guessing it was a bit traumatic for you to have to re-live those thoughts. If it was something that was eating you up then it's good to talk about it in therapy..if it was the past and that was it, there is no use and torturing yourself. I'm not sure your personal story but I know living in the past for me almost literally killed me. I felt like such a failure and for so long...but I worked on it and it's put away for good.

I hope you're therapy works for you...I would also try one more session to see what your therapists BIG Picture is for you in re-living some of this stuff.

Good luck and keep me updated, my dear. Have a blessed night.
