I was really amazed with all those cards and stuff. A lot of it really affected me. After reading some of them I wanted to cry!

Why would you need a real excuse for having depression? It is an illness not an action that you are doing.
Depression is an invisible illness that a lot of people do not understand. So many people have "to see with their eyes" to believe. So many people think that having depression is being crazy. So many people will not even talk about it. So many people suffer in silence because of society. So many people will kill themself because they are scare to tell because so many people judge. You don't need an excuse. People just need to understand that you are suffering in silence. Please reach out! We are here for you!

I dont have a reason. What ever went wrong in my life to make me feel like this? Nothing. So what if my dad gets a little angry and I dont always see eye to eye with my mom, and fought with my brother. Isnt that growing up? People dont always get along. Guess I'm looking for a purpose for my pain..or however that saying goes. I forget.

I make sure to check out the site every week when it gets updated. I love them all cause they all say what I'm feeling, or I can relate to them in some way. I know lots of them are real serious, but theres funny ones too. I've wanted to write one for forever, I just cant find the postcard I want. Then I will. Maybe I'll see it one day.

(((hugs))) Depression IS a medical disorder... brain chemicals have changed. They can be changed to work properly again, through meds and/or therapy... but it's work. But "excuse?" that's good enough for me... do diabetes need a better "excuse?" Or do those with allergies need a better excuse? Of course not... ppl need to learn that depression IS... if they need more than that, the onus is on them to learn why. TC

I wish I had an excuse too. I should have seen a problem coming. I noticed a huge increase in negative thoughts and some suicidal thoughts. Did I do anything? I just stepped up my correcting of negative thoughts. Maybe I should have tried to de-stress or talk with a friend about what was bothering me. Then I might have prevented my getting squirrlier than usual. I could have saved me some money and my insurance a lot of money for therapy. Why did I allow myself to stress out to the point of not being able to sleep normal for a month and a half? If it is stress related like the T thinks, why can't I find a way to get back to sleeping like a normal person? I think I just might give myself a huge cold or something. I am probably hurting my immune system will all this. If I should be able to find a way to sleep, is it my fault that I can't seem to do it?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
