I have been very depressed & didn't want to come on here and just whine. Didn't

feel like I could be any help to anyone. I have been reading your posts, and am

glad for that.

Dana

Hi Dana sorry to hear that. I know about depression. It sucks the life out of

you. I finally had to resort to meds inorder to cope and live a normal life. I

am happy I did. NEVER WANT TO GO BACK TO DEPRESSION AGAIN.



I will be praying for you hun. I could give you all kinds of advice but not

everything works for everyone. It depends on the kind of depression you have. I

have clinical depression and have to be on meds.

Thanks Bonnie.

I have no insurance & have a job that doesn' pay 1/3 what my other job paid. So

I guess you can call it financial depression LOL. I am older & feeling like I

have no way out. My abusive ex left me with no confidence to even date anyone (

and no money). I feel as though my life is over. I don't have the money to see a

doctor, so I just sorta wing it. See, I whine!!

Dana whining now and then is not bad. THe squeaky wheel gets the oil. We all

have to express our feelings or we would go nuts. Do you have a free clinic

where you live? We have one and they don't charge you if you can't afford to

pay. THere are ways around getting medical help. Be persistant until you get

help. You have no clue what I went through to get help. Its been a hard rough

road but it has made me stronger.  I almost gave up on life a couple of times.

Thank God I didn't.

Dana ~ This forum is all about being a safe place to whine and complain, get

some validation, understanding, empathy...whatever YOU need at the time that you

post... See my post about the Green Mile Analogy. My friends swear by it now.

It's a movement in our world, kind of like the "pay it forward" concept.



I'm glad you continue to visit and read the posts. I have done the same myself,

being invisible when I'm depressed and feel like I have nothing to offer. I also

watch from the sidelines.



Keep up the work. Stay strong. Stay the course. Give us a shout out now and

then.



Bless you,

Kelly

It's not whining, it's venting about concerns and fears that others here have

gone through.



You're pain, confusion and fears help others here know that they are not alone

in their pain and fears.
