I presume you're talking about depression. How do you deal with it?

Hi Lisa,

MiltT wrote a very good post under the discusion thread "Reality is Perception". Please read that.

There are people who care about those suffering from mental illness. The depression makes you think no one cares.

Keep reaching out here at TBD. People will reach back.

Also, one of the best medicines around is helping others. You may read a post where someone is going through a situation that you've been in and you can offer advice or solutions that were helpful to you.

Every one of us has value.

I care,Iam sure lots of people care! Jesus cares!

Lisa please dont try to go it alone!

There are groups that will help you.Emotions ununanimous can help,as can several publications. Any books by Melody Beatty.If I had your mailing address I would send you a couple of books she has written.Or you could go to the library and check them out.Make notes of things and try everyday to write at least five reasons to be grateful.When I first started doing that I would write simple things like a breeze,a childs smile,being fascinated by ants traveling with a load three times their weight,laughter of children,etc.

If you need someone to talk too there are thousands here on tbd that will listen to you and give advice,then you take what they say and pick out the ones that come closest to saying what you need to hear!

And remember,Jesus loves,even if you dont know him!

em me if you want to!Good luck!
