Depression,looking for friends

Posts: 853 Member
edited October 2024 in Motivation and Support
I have always been very prone to depression. Usually I will get depressed in the winter,but I also suffered from childhood depression for many years. The thing was in the past I could deal with it because when I thought about there was no root cause for my depression,I was just sad.
Right now I am in another funk.But Im having more trouble coming out of it as there is many root causes for once. It seems I am turning to food to help me feel better,and not finding the motivation to exercise-which I know would help me feel better. I am looking for others who have delt with this dark passenger so that we might be able to help each other see some brighter days in dark times.

Welcome!

    I have a group created in the groups section where people who have mental health issues can get together to discuss things and offer each other support and advice.

    Please check out Thomas's group...I don't like to talk about my depression in such a public forum. But you are not alone.

    Also a note for anyone viewing this,I wasn't implying a discussion to ensue afterwards. Just hoping for a few friends requests or perhaps an inbox.
  • Hello, I too suffer from depression and have done for ten years.
    I also have an eating disorder which is sort of linked.
