Do You Think You Would Be Comfortable Seeing A MDT Member And Talking To Them, Or Would You Rather Remain Anonymous?
Comfort level seeing team members out of the site, in real life.
I would love to meet anyone in the rural west Tn. area. All you need is to let me know. Would like to know anyone who suffers from this horrible disease and understands what it does to you.
Have You Ever Been Ashamed Of What You Are Or Ashamed Of Living With Depression (Anxiety)?
As for me yes, this is why I had my Feelings & don't open up to anyone, was afraid of what others may say or 🤔 living or dealing with Mental Illness
I used to be ashamed, not then ashamed Now I have changed back to secrecy. Too many people reject or label people without knowing I am a person. A person who can see their body language or facial… read more
Relationships
How do u keep from giving up on finding a partner, when everything they do can be misconstrued as rejection...?
I tried that and all they wanted was sex. I didn't want to meet any of them. I did meet one but that didn't last 10 minutes.

Depression, Family And Stigma
Do your family members know about your depression, and are they supportive?
Do you find that you have to hide your status in fear of being labelled a "crazy person?"
Some things just shouldn’t be in the light some can’t handle it
Are These People Really "friends"?
I've met some people at work whom I've long considered friends. However, neither of them called me when I was off work for a month to see how I was doing - one of them knew both that I was having surgery and also that I suffer with depression. The other was unaware of the surgery but knows all about my depression. The latter I had a fling with last year, and knows me reasonably well.
Some friends are good at letting you down when we're feeling depress it's hard for people who don't suffer like we do to understand our needs of friends I prefer to stick with people on here who know… read more
Do You Feel The Group Is As Supportive To One Another As It Was When You Joined Or Do You Feel Differently Now?
In the past 2 weeks I have lost 3 friends here due to non support. I will tell you when I joined MDT 4 years ago there were so many who jumped in continually supporting me. Amazed me others felt the same way as me. A miracle group! Do I feel that way now? No I don't. And others agree and hope they will step up with comments on how they feel and suggestions.
This place isn't the same at all. The older people must not have liked the change or they have problems and can't get on. I miss those people as much as the rest of you. But everything changes. New… read more
Team Member
I haven’t been here a long time and was wondering about how many Team Members we should have or is there a limit or can you have to many?
Thanks and Hugs from Alabama !

I'm Struggling To Find A Job And I'm Depressed.
I have been looking for a job since September last year and either body contacts me back or I get straight up denied. I live with my mom because I can't afford to go anywhere else but I help provide food. She is extremely toxic towards me but won't hear me out and plays victim while blaming me for these circumstances. Literally 40% of people in my state are unemployed. I need help, pretty much anything.
I've been looking for a job since I was fired in March of 2024 and my unemployment ran out and I don't qualify for cash assistance from the state because I don't have children.
