My sisters family and mom constantly tell me to give my problems to Jesus.
That would be faith right. Giving my problems to someone in my head. I understand that it works only if you believe. So that’s like going to meeting talking about problems or parents and friends. That would be great if I could forget the abuse then relearn how to live with out problems. Catholics do that just pray 6 hell Mary’s and your good. All the same antidote nothing wrong with it. Just believe like Buddha
Be present reduce your suffering be mindful. Which one works for you is always right not one better than the other. Just look and there you are. Take it if ya need it or leave it if you dare.
I’m rambling on here but I have the open mind seeing all possibilities for me is better. I don’t mean to hurt anyone.
Times change. Peace

Yeah! When I first joined MDT my husband and in laws were worried that it could cause me to decline more. And why do I need a group for depression when you better now.

When people don't understand an illness they tend to make fun of it or just stay away. My siblings don't understand depression and they laugh at therapy. It is funny to me because every one of them could use therapy!

I think there is a stigma when you mention depression

I told my sister that I'd found an online support group for depression, and she said, "Well, that sounds depressing."

Uh, no? People who understand me do not depress me, thanks.
