Depression

Married with a 13 year old son. Recovering alcoholic, I've had a few relapses. Currently on meds for depression and anxiety and it seems like it's not as effective as it used to be. I've been in recovery for 4 years. I've attended group meetings in the past and have gained a great deal of knowledge about depression. I was among the many who felt that "I was the only person on the planet who was dealing with demons". Although the meds and counseling has helped, I feel the need to continue to talk with others who understand how I feel. I attempted to find local support groups but was not able to. In my opinion, it's better to talk "with" someone than talk "to" someone. I've learned that there are lots of judgemental folks out there. I know, I used to be one of them. But I also know that there are a lot of people who don't judge. I'm looking for friendship. Friendships that are true in every sense of the word. People who know and understand the feelings of self loathing, tiredness, of having no self worth, of knowing what it's like to beat yourself up over mistakes that are made every day by millions of people. I was once told by a counselor that I had one of the biggest sticks he had ever seen. I realized he was talking about the way I emotionally beat myself up. And so I'm looking for friends that understand all of this crap like this particular counselor did. I have felt great over the last 4 years. But it seems like this dark cloud called "depression" wants to show it's ugly head again. I use to say that friends were "wanted". I now say.....friends are "needed". Ed

Riding my Harley, smoking good cigars, off roading & having time to myself. Sneaking away to NYC and looking at art (A little secret my family and friends know nothing about). Good conversation. Being with my son. Helping kids in need. I was a child advocate for a while.

Those who judge. People who say..."I know how you feel" when in fact they have no clue! Being inconsiderate...Hellooo, you're not the only one here! Nasty people who bring out the worst in me. Winter. Drama caused by other people, I like my own drama! People who don't stand up for themselves. Men who hit women (don't get me going on that topic)Politics. And general BULLsh*t. Being treated like I'm stupid. Folks who refer to depression as "lazyness"
