Group was interesting to say the least there was a new lady there that was a pain. She did not want to go to a doctor to get diagnosed but wanted to know how she could figure it out on her own. Yet mental illness ran on both sides of her family. People like that annoy the hell out of me. Then we started talking about depression and she says “well doesn’t everyone get like that”? I said we’re not talking about depression because your boyfriend or husband broke up with you. Some of us get depressed and nothing is wrong. But we can not get out of bed, we barely eat, we barely shower or take care of ourselves. There was another new lady in the group she started crying saying how hard her depression had been. Another young lady 21 said she had been having episodes since she was 15. That each one was worse. She said, she has tried different meds, changing her diet and exercise. Nothing has helped. She went on to say that her goal is to find something that will make her never have an episode again. Another young lady told her nicely no such thing exist. I told her if a doctor tells you something is available he/she is after your money.
