i am 58 and living with severe depression and am looking for a support group. i am a female living in summit, nj and would appreciate a person in my area.
I was diagnosed with dysthemia in 1995. After therapy and the right antidepressant was prescribed, I have been well. My son was diagnosed with “situational” depression in 2000. He had therapy and is on antidepressants, too.
My problem is how to handle his future mother-in-law who believes the depression is a serious threat to her daughter’s marriage and is opposing the marriage. She only knows about BiPolar disease because a relative has it. She projects onto my son her skimpy knowledge of bipolar disease.
She is adamant that my son is a threat to her daughter, even though my son is fine and hasn’t experienced symptoms since taking his antidepressant.
What can I do to convince her that he will be a wonderful husband?

I have been battleing depression off and on for the last several years. I am just so tired of dealing with it all.I stopped taking the medication and am trying to work through it without all of that.I have spent way too much money on drugs and therapy and haven’t gotten anywhere further then when I first began. In some ways I feel alot better without all the medication,but in other ways,it is so hard to work through on my own. I am leaning alot of God and my faith,but sometimes I could really use other people who understand what it is like to feel this way.

My name is Don. We have a friend who has the Bipolar disease and we are looking for her, a place of support in the Sulphur, Oklahoma area. We are in the South Central
part of Oklahoma, just north east of Ardmore. Could you help us? Would there be more than one group in the area?
Thank you,
Don

I suffer from depression and have not taken medicine for about 3 weeks. I just found out my son is moving out of state, about 3 thousand miles away. The past three weeks I have been hard on him, not giving him money. Now he is selling everything and moving. I am happy for him and hope he does well. I’m not so sure I will be as well. I cry just thinking about it. I feel like I have lost everything. I have had to declare bankrptucy and don’t know if it will work out. I would like a new start, but don’t think I can do it. I feel so sad.
