depression help groups

to talk to people with the same depression illness as me?

Thats why I was wondering if any one knew of any support group meetings in my area that area like AA or NA only for depression. The only groups I found so far meet only twice a month. I need way more. Would any one know of such a meeting or organization in the Flint, Genesee county Michigan area that might fit the bill? Any how, my prayers are with you all for I know how you feel. Been to the bottom many times. Black, all consuming and empty. Bless each and every one.

Are there any support groups that meet for Chiari survivors, sufferers in Knoxville, TN. My daughter had decompression surgery a year and a half ago. Since then she has been suffering from headaches and mind seizures as well as fear, depression and anxiety. She has had to quit her job and we are probably going to have to file for disability for her. I think a support group would help her feel not so all alone.

Hi I've been suffering from depression my while life nand I want to get help but iw to expensive.does any one know where can I get help at low cost.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY SUPPORT GROUPS FOR HEP-C VIRUS AND PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THE TREATMENTS IN LEAVENWORTH KANSAS. GOING THROUGH TREATMENT 6 MONTHS INTO IT AND HAVING A VERY ROUGH TIME WITH THE DEPRESSION OF THE MEDICATIONS. IN NEED OF A SUPPORT GROUP.

There are support groups in your case. I am sure he might blame it on yhe pregnancy but still there is help. You can feel better just look for help and support from your support network. If it helps you are not alone. I find my self crying for nothing. Though, I am noy in the point that I feel overwhelmed. Best wishes for you and your little one. I hope you overcome this soon. Tell yout dr. And ask for support groups.

To me, there are two types of groups, 1) Support and 2) Self Help. Support Groups are places to go and feel safe. Lead by others with medical conditions like ours, opinions are shared by all, and comfort is widely given while tears flow. The discussions are personal and individualized making this the place to be when your chin is on the ground. Self-Help groups relieve a different pain. In this setting professionals teach you the steps necessary to better yourself and your position.

Either can help. I had a rough patch but I was lucky. I exercised my way through it.

Lastly, and most importantly, while online groups can certainly help us in some ways, and even give us a sense of support, it should NEVER be your only source of help or support and should NEVER be used in place of real, in person support or help. There's no substitution for that in person connection you will have with other people, the eye contact, physical touch, etc.

Yep and thats why there is these groups there are alsi ither groups out there that you can join the important thing is that dispite the feeling of being alone and not wanting to do anything... we need ti push ourselves out the door to do something every day. It helps when you have a frirnd that lives near by. One if my best friends was my neighbor 5years ago. I was pregnant with my daughter and she would call me over every day and would not take no ad an answer. She has moved 1.

I am not knocking pandamans advice, and with certain people, medication can help. However, I would strongly urge you to first try the support groups, therapist, and school councerlor before asking for medications. Very often, issues such as depression can be controlled without medications. The problem with medications is if you don't need them and therapy/group support can help the problem, is you become dependent on them.

Has anyone had PPD with prenatal depression? Its so bad that if I wasn't pregnant I'd probably not be here...if you get what I mean. I have a 6 month old and have had thoughts of giving both babies to dh and just going. I wouldn't really do that but some days are just a lot harder and I get so upsetm crying constantly and my DD seems to hate me.

hi michelle i suffer from chronic depression quiote a lot of the time im on paraxitine to help calm me down i do get the breakdowns from time to time lately with stress i am getting hypoventilation and anziety its a hard road torecovery

He needs to see a doctor asap!! Anytime someone theatens sucide you take it seriously!! Even if you think they don't mean it and just saying that to get attention, you still should TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!!! You never know what they are truly attending to do. He can seriously mean what he says and hopes by saying it out loud someone will help him. He needs help. He maybe depressed, bipolar or have social anxiety... or who knows what else, a doctor can properly diagnoise him.

How do I get this depression under control? I am all kinds of depression medications. My Dr. has me down as Severe Depression.

Thanks for the response. I get the depression part..but the manic is what is driving me a little over the edge with my hubby. I will check the forum out, but not sure it is the one I need. Again, thanks.

There is a link to User Groups on the Forums page. Just click Forums in the top nav and the link to a list of User Groups is on the right side.

I think I read somewhere that you are more likely to get it again if you had it the first time around. Just amke sure you have some sort of support system in place to help you deal with it should it arise again. Don't be afraid to get temporary relief from an antidepressant. That would not be my first choice, but sometimes we have exausted all other avenues and it would be beneficial to use medicine.

I am 35 weeks and 5 days pregnant, here lately I have been dealing with a bad bout of depression! And I just don't know what to do!!! I am married, but I just feel so alone all the time!! My husband is a coach so this time of year is always crazy for us but it's just affecting me sssssoooo much right now!! I am alone all the time and I feel like I have no one to talk to or no where to turn!! My husband's just tells me to stop or ignores me.

If you have a mental health agency where you live-they may have support groups for people with depression and/or bipolar; other mental health issues. Doctors sometimes have educational classes for diabetics. Health departments have parenting classes. On & on. Sorry to go on so long. This is to show you that going in and just 'babbling' is OK if that's what you need. Often-as I LISTEN to MYSELF talk-I end up with these 'Ah-HA!

Your local hospital should offer support groups. Just going to talk to women that are pregnant and possibly experiencing depression will help you not feel alone. I wish you the best.

Hi , I'm a 34 years old single mom. I have a 7 and half year old son. I really feel depressed ,I was hoping if somebody can help me. I don't have a job and no health Insurance but I think i really need to see a psychologist in Irvine California. Let me tell you a little bit about myself: I got married when i was 23 I came to United States with my Husband. I got pregnant when i was 26 but my husband passed away when my son was 6 month old.

Sign uo for wic, and food stamps, you'll need all the help you can get.

Exercise can help out a lot! I would just talk to your doctor, they are used to this kind of stuff and if it is bad it is better to get help.

I think I have a mix of PTSD and Depression after the miscarriage and I am now ingulfed in panic attacks almost all day long!!!! anyone know a specialist online? or maybe a great book to help? I REALLY nedd your help. I think I am going to go MAD I feel dizzy, shortness of breathe, chest pain... it depends on what I focus on but they never seem to go away! I have insomnia now and a pressure headache. idk what to do.....drs. just brush me off and say it will pass.

You can look up and see if there are depression support groups in your area. Usually, they meet up once or twice a week. They have support groups for people who support us also, like your husband. I've been the person going through it and also the support person, and, as you know, support is great for everyone. A good support group is the Depression Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) which is found nationwide.

Im a clinical therapist and what you guys are talking about is common and you can find some relief and help. I have some clients who attend groups for expecting moms (they offer childcare too) and they are helpful. Also there are a lot of techniques that the right therapist can help you learn to lower your heartrate and alleviate anxiety. These can help with or in place of meds... depending on your needs. Are any of you in Seattle?
