Depression Support Group

I have been gone a long time. I dont know a lot of ppl anymore on the sites.

I went totally crazy after the loss of my dog. I am still in therapy, all my depression and anxiety meds have been increased, I have lost a lot of weight because I cant eat, I cant sleep.

But I am still kicking! And I am trying to get back in the swing of things. One of the reasons I hadnt posted is that my p-doc did not want me to. He said that I am the type of person who takes all of everyone elses problems and makes them my own, that I worry too much over others and dont take care of my own. So he wanted me to stay off for a while.

Well I just wanted to say hi. So HI!

I'm looking at 2315 messages and that you are a VIP Member, you are something. More impressive is the way you took care of yourself through a crisis and listened to the suggestion you might take a time out for a bit. You make good decisions for yourself.

When I hear about that, I learn from people like you!

I think when I use my strengths to help someone up who is down is about the best thing I can do with my life as long as I'm here. I think the worst thing I can do for me and them is to break down with them and not help them out of the hole but jump in there with them.

With every mistake I learn my strengths and weaknesses better. I hope to get better at choosing.

I have missed you my dear! Yes, there are a lot of new faces but take it slow! Join in when you want. Sit back and take it easy when you want. When you need us we're here!

We've added some fun stuff to the group...we've been writing group poetry! It's our group therapy project!! We all pitch in when we feel the desire to do so. We were also doing the three word game and making senseless stories....went on for a long time...will have to start that up again. I kind of forgot about it!

I'm sorry you have had such a hard time of it! Please, please, please...first and foremost, take care of yourself!! You don't have to take on anyone's problems! I'm just glad to hear from you!

Hugs,

Camey
