I was feeling a bit depressed the other day, so I called the Help Hotline.
I was put though to a call center in Pakistan. I explained that I was feeling suicidal. They were very excited at this news and wanted to know if I could drive a truck or fly an airplane....

Dawg,
That was hilarious! Seriously though, I am no stranger to depression. I don't talk about it much 'cause it would be 90% of my postings. Just a couple weeks ago I was wishing I wasn't a parent so could end my life. But I could never do that to my child. It sucks. Its like a roller coaster. Up and down. Right now I'm ok. The severe downs don't come too often. But I can go from miserable to happy in a single day. So weird. I'm on meds and have a shrink, and I do alot of cognitive therapy on myself. Its weird how some of us get burdened with this, and others don't. Just like migraines, I guess. I'm glad this page is here though. Its something else to talk about other then dating! LOL! Actually, about half my depression is relationship-related. I wish there was a pill to take to make THAT go away!   Proud Parent of a Teenage Mutant IM Junkie! |

Depression S*cks. It is so hard to live a normal life when you are suffering with depression. Bikejon....I am sorry to hear of your struggle with it.
I have had my moments myself but it is more anxiety then just depression. I get depressed but anxiety takes over and I myself have contemplated suicide. In a moment of desperation it seems like the most sensible thing to do. It is such a weight on my shoulders sometimes having to handle everything, all the time, by myself. I often resent responsibility, yet I cannot stop being responsible so it just gets me so resentful and angry I just want to give up. Then I think of my son and get angry with myself for my thoughts...and then I cry, cry, cry. It is a viscious cirlce sometimes and it hurts...physically and emotionally. I always seem to overcome these emotions and always continue to move forward, but sometimes it is so hard to make myself do what is right. Jennie. |

I'm just the oppessit of you. I had the responsibility of my family and it was taken away. So now what do I do? No wife, no kids, why work whats it all for now. It's just one big fight now. And I know that my kids are the ones that will pay. Not by me but by their mother and the things that she is doing, and saying about me. Yes I try to hide behind humor, a poor atempt I know but hey. I also seam to have lost my own father in all this. He said he isn't taking sides, but things have change, Like him talking to my kids and not telling me about it, forgetting my birthday but not my son ( there both on the same day). I'm just so tired of this, of the hurt, and the pain, and there not a damn thing I can do about it. Dawg "Be strong and courageous.

dude you have a sick sick sick since of houmor. I LIKE IT lol
Hmmmm Dawg........ Sry your feeling depressed and what happened to you. I know I think its hard sometimes with me just talking care of the kids and i get depressed being all by myspef with them all the time with no me time. But i am lucky. I think i wold be so much more depressed if i didnt have them. I dont know what its like to feel that but im sure it is far worse than a single parnts depression because they "do it all them selves"     "I find an insignificant satisfaction in sitting on my television and watching my couch!

Hi Jennie,
I had some anxiety but the Wellbutrin took care of that. But I still get depressed. I identify with you and Dallas; we have it all on our head. I get very resentfull that I am not free to do the things I want; go back to school, be in a relationship, etc. I feel guilty whe I do simple things for myself; go for a bike ride, go to the gym, etc. One important thing for us ALL to remember is that this too shall pass; everything is temporary. Our kids will grow up and we won't have that responsibility. I am lucky 'cause my daughter is a teen now and she goes off with friends sometimes. Dawg, you said you miss the responsibility. Have you thought about volunteering your time for a cause you believe in? Working with elderly, a political cause, an animal shelter, homeless hookers/strippers maybe? I appreciate sick humour too.  I find I have alot of say in how I feel sometimes. Being alone is really bad. I'm in bad company then. Too much time to think. I have to watch what I think. I can lock onto a negative thought and keep stewing in it. Its really hard, but I try to distract myself. And I can make it worse when I start thinking really negative **** about myself, like I'm a loser, things will NEVER get better, I deserve this, etc etc. Thats something I really have to guard against. Anyway, thats all for now. Hang in there gang! Proud Parent of a Teenage Mutant IM Junkie! |

At least you know that you put your mind in this way of thinking. I think I do too and that is why I am able to pick myself up out of my funk....when I am there. I always have to remind myself that even when I am feeling like I am not in control...I always am. It is my life and no matter what I have choices...even when I feel backed into a corner.
It is funny how I talk myself out of feeling the way I feel. That always reminds me of how much of a strong person I really am. It is only when I am in a funk that I feel all is hopeless. It never really is. Jennie. |

OPh we are never alone. sometimes we lack that adult conversation we so need but we have our kids and that is mor eimportant to me than any thing. for dawg i dont want to even emagain if my x had custody. i feel for ya dawg all i can say for that is fight like its going outta style. ever give up your kids are too important and will relise how much you fought for them even when thier mom was telling lies. press on and fight for what you want "I find an insignificant satisfaction in sitting on my television and watching my couch!

I second what Dallas sez, Dawg. Children cannot always see the truth, unless they are very, very perceptive, and not all are. But when they become adults, or even teens, they will know the truth.
