Welcome!

I decided to create this group to help myself and others with similar problems to bring more meaning to our lives through sharing our life experiences and connecting with others in a deeper true level. I believe people like us are more sensitive to life's obstacles and to other people's feelings. We are special in our own way because we see and feel life differently.This is a group that intends to help relive some of the pain, loneliness and social withdrawal caused by Depression, Anxiety and Social Phobia. I've been struggling with all of the above for more than ten years now. I think I have some genetic tendency towards Depression and anxiety since some of my family members also share the same problems. I know that I have a very resistant type of depression that comes and goes and usually catches me by surprise; consequently disrupting all my life. I am currently on medication and looking to restart therapy but, yet a permanent solution to my mood swing problems, lack of motivation and everyday discouragement is very far away. I never had the support of my family or relatives during my struggles, maybe due to ignorance about mental illnesses, blindness, denial, or even belonging to another category of human beings where the world where you can see and touch things is the only one that matters. I know life with Depression can be very difficult almost unbearable, and for some it reaches the point of desperation, disillusion, and suicidal thoughts. I truly believe humans have a social nature and are supposed to live in groups. Since we cannot choose the family we were born in, our option is to reach out for understanding, caring, support and comprehension from others. Come and join me, let's fight this beast together!
