Re: Please describe Depression?
Wow @Sehnsucht
I just found this message that you sent. Thankyou so much for giving me kudos on bringing up the Alic Miller quote on depression being the inability to grieve.
I was actually trying to find @chookmojo to say hi to her.
@chookmojo I think about you. It's great to see you.
Please stay in touch @Sehnsucht. I am grieving all the time too...
I'm over my Mum's .................... ( fill that space with whatever activity you can think of. Like

Re: Please describe Depression?
Dearest @pip
wow. I'm reading your hearfelt message and that wonderful song "Bakers Hill," comes on the radio.
hits me hard. then waves over my heart. Goes inside my chest.
When my Grandmother died, my Mum in her own.....weird way apologised that she has made decisions about her life that did'nt include me and she regrets it. Then she said the other problem was that I am more attractive than her.
Me in my opshop clothes and overalls and t-shirts......uncombed hair. Forgetful. Medicated. Always say the wrong thing. Always grieving. Whats looks got to do with it?
I can't even know how to address what you have been through....my darling lady, thankyou for writing to me, I'm here thinking about your strength and courage.
I love how you live your life right now. I don't have many friends but on the other hand, am loved by friends. But cannot think of one I could go to if my home was unavailable for a night.
Thankyou for you message, PP

Re: Please describe Depression?
To me depression feels like - stuck in a dark deep hole. And each time i try to climb up something happens and I fall right back down. Its a struggle to get back up.
Feelings of abandonment, no love for me from my parents at all, siblings.
Sad, hopeless, helpless, emotional, angry, grief, loss, abandonment, stuck, fight, scared, dark, vulnerable, powerless, so alone.

Re: Please describe Depression?
lol....WE think that same. Im on the phone to my dearest friend in the world. I've never been into alcohol or drug addiction .....somehow....long time ago......I was a teenager and I was sheltered and cared for by many dtigmatized bpeople in the community..
I'm noticing though @pip the older I get I get more affected with grr when I get tired. My poor husband takes a bit of flack. He smoked 3 packets of cigars this week....I've been very tired from working cleaning houses and just......been just having little spurts of tantrums and then I choose to just apologise profusely. Late last night, he went to the petrol station and buy me a big packet of peanut M&Ms ( my favourite). I was so tired and stressed and I chose to step back and just acknowledge how hard he was working at keeping me calm. I felt the luckiest woman in the world.
Why has the page turned @pip ?

DEarest @BlueBay
I think I started this thread thinking of you and me actually.
Can you remind me of your relationship with your brothers and sisters?

Re: Please describe Depression?
Hi @PeppiPatty
My relationship with my siblings is zero except for one sister. She will call me maybe 3 times a year. If i don't contact her she will NOT call me. I feel so angry with this but I am sick of calling all the time.
Relationship with parents, not sure if you remember is ZERO.
